The Florida Bar Association ruled a while ago that actually they'd rather make more money than have ethics so you can do all sorts of egregious poo poo in your ads now, like list specific amounts clients won. As a result most of them seem like an ad for a casino or the lottery or something now, like they basically say "I WON $500,000 AT THE TRIP AND FALL LAWSUIT CASINO!!" and show CGI money raining down over the screen and poo poo.

I actually have kind of a soft spot for our local ambulance chaser. He’s spent years putting up billboards with his Mr Clean visage mixed with The Rock eyebrow that say, “Misny makes them pay!” These days you just see that quixotic expression on a white background with no text. If you know, you know. And he puts them up everywhere

Pomeroy posted:The distinction is politically relevant. There's a reason capitalist states maintain an enlisted / commissioned distinction in the military, and not in civilian police forces. The officer corps is required to maintain control of the enlisted troops, precisely because if you tried to build a military with the same mechanisms that guarantee the political reliability of the police, it wouldn't function as an army. This is why there were military mutinies in February and October, when soldiers were sent against the public in a vacuum of legitimacy, while the St Petersburg cops swung clubs and whips until they faced guns, and then locked themselves up in the local jails and begged for the new authorities to send jailers so they wouldn't be dragged out and lynched in the street. Letting the appearance of legitimacy break down is eventually dangerous to the ruling class too though. If laws and rules don't matter, and everyone understands they don't matter, then there isn't much keeping your cops and soldiers in line. Then you get a revolution and who knows who will end up on top afterwards. Which is why guys who say the police should be allowed to do little a brutality, as a treat are idiotic assholes, not just assholes.

Now his heavily plastic-surgeried face is all over about half the billboards in town

A few brands around here have used stencils and a power washer to imprint their brand on to the dirty streets which I have to say kind of amused me

Each year it was re-done during summer break too cuz the writing was fresh and slightly different when we'd return to campus, so someone was actively maintaining it. Anyway I was back in the area last year so I drove by to see what had changed at the school in the like 14 years since I left, and the MAKE MOVES, SON building was still there and still clearly being repainted yearly

I was hoping it would take slightly longer than 10 seconds to figure out but yes lol Back when I was there there really wasn't anything online about it but there sure is now: Some Guy on Reddit posted:In 07' during orientation week they showed us a video that was basically don't date rape people. In the video this guy has a roommate who keeps calling him son. "Hey son excited school son?" "Hey son let's go to a party son" "Let's make moves son" That sorta thing. They go to the party and "son" tries to pick up a chick who is drunk/passing out. Good roommate says "whoa son don't date rape son." lol

I was there starting in '09 and we did not get to see the date rape video and now I'm sad. We did get to see a video where they tried to have a "frank and honest discussion about drug use with students" that kinda accidentally gave instructions on where specifically to go if you want to buy or use drugs on campus and not get bothered too much so that was cool.
