BRING BACK AMBULANCE CHASERS.

INSTEAD OF STAYING OUT OF OUR LIVES AS THE REPUBLICANS INSIST --THE FEDS MUST GET INVOLVED AND STOP AN CON THAT IS BEING FOISTED ON TV VIEWERS. EVERY CABLE NETWORK AND CHANNEL INUNDATES US WITH FALSE CLAIMS BY INSURANCE COMPANIES OR LAWYERS. THE POINT OF THESE ADS ARE TO FRIGHTEN THE CRAP OUT OF US BY SAYING THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO A DANGEROUS PRODUCT THAT CAN KILL. THAT ONLY THEY CAN GUARANTEE TO GET YOU LOTS OF MONEY FROM THE OFFENDING EVILDOER.

AFTER PROMISING MONEY, ONCE YOU CALL AN 800-NUMBER, THEY FLASH AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN A DISCLAIMER SMALL ENOUGH THAT ONLY AND OWL CAN READ IT. THESE DISCLAIMERS BASICALLY PROMISE YOU NOTHING. USUALLY IT SAYS THAT THE COMPANY OR LAW FIRM THAT IS PAYING FOR THE COMMERCIAL ISN’T RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING YOU ANYTHING. THEY ARE JUST AGENTS AND WILL GIVE YOU A LIST OF SO-CALLED
‘EXPERT’ LAWYERS TO HANDLE YOUR CASE. SOME OF THE TINY PRINT ALSO SAYS THAT IN CASE YOUR CLAIM IS TURNED DOWN, THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COURT COSTS EVEN THE DEFENDENTS’.

HERE’S WHAT PISSES ME OFF: THESE FALSE ADS ARE TARGETTED TO OLD AND POOR PEOPLE. THAT’S THE REASON FOR THE UNREADABLE DISCLAIMER. THEY PROMISE MONEY AND BENEFITS WHEN THEY ACTUALLY CAN’T DELIVER ANYTHING – NOT EVEN A PIZZA. IF YOU CALL THE 800 NUMBER TO TALK TO “ONE OF THEIR EXPERTS” – YOU WILL PROBABLY BE CONNECTED TO INDIA OR PAKISTAN.

YEARS AGO, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WOULD GET THEIR PANTY-HOSE IN KNOTS AT SUPPOSED “AMBULANCE CHASERS.” THEY WERE ILLEGAL AND FROWNED UPON. NOW WITH TV, CABLE AND THE INTERNET A NEW TYPE OF CROOK HAS RAISED THEMSELVES OUT OF THE SMELLY MUD.
THE FCC AND STATE GOVERNMENTS SHOULD PROHIBIT THESE FALSE AND MISLEADING ADS FROM OUR AIRWAYS. THE AIRWAYS THAT THE PUBLIC OWNS.
THESE COMMERICAL BLOODSUCKING LAWYERS MUST BE STOPPED. I DON’T WANT ANYBODY TELLING ME THAT I CAN SUE FOR MILLIONS FOR MY ‘HEARTBREAK OF PSORIASIS!
MEN AND WOMEN ARE BEING DUPED BY THESE NO-GOODNICKS.

TIME FOR ACTION!
