Get a divorce!

Have you noticed that in this world of marketing and advertising, people will do anything to get noticed. When I first read this, I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry. The obvious thing to say would be on the lines of ‘lawyers have no scruples’, ‘the trouble with law is lawyers’ etc. But when you think about it, is that line really out of line? I have heard of people getting a divorce because of their pets! Here is what I see in the ad – Life is too short (which is true), so don’t put up with crap you don’t have to (Hey, that’s an option!). Get a divorce. And now that you have decided to get one, here are our (conveniently placed) numbers. Call us (since we were the ones who put that idea in your head anyway. And heck this is our billboard you are reading). And in case you are still undecided, here are some pics of perfectly chiseled half naked people. Why go home to the fat and cellulite when you could not be going to these chiseled bodies?

Or maybe there is this satisfied marketing exec going, “Ha! Made you look!” Ah well, life is too short.
