Anti Consumer Movie Ads
The New York Times advises that movie theaters are about to show anti consumer ads as part of a campaign by www.facesoflawsuitabuse.org.
INSTEAD of the latest on Hollywood stars, moviegoers may get a dose of advocacy this month when they settle into their seats for the feature presentation.
Coming to theaters are commercials that are intended to spell out the perils of frivolous lawsuits as told by “everyday Americans,” including small-business owners who have been hit with costly lawsuits they believed were arbitrary and abusive.
This is the wrong message. When the one who feels injured is the business owner, then retribution is appropriate. But not if it is a consumer who is injured. This makes no sense.
Frivolous lawsuits are not a way of life for the vast majority of lawyers. The news media simply portrays that myth. And if any one believes the news media does not impact the masses then I have a frivolous lawsuit to sell them.
