What Next?

A fair question would be: Is there a limit? The word 'limit' in this instance that would define a stopping point or boundary. I am referencing public-media advertising.

Up until 1977, all 50-States prohibited attorneys' from advertising. Two lawyers from Arizona argued successfully that whereas the wealthy had access to legal defense the poor needed to be 'informed' on how to secure legal counsel, therefore attorney advertising. I care not to attack or defend lawyers; I am not versed enough to do either. I simply wish to point out how the money desire keep pushing away any guards against previously perceived polite public conversation.

The constant message from the attorney community is the persistent suggestion that lawsuits pay off. Those being sued WILL settle. Never mind the domino effect of consumer cost impact. A family medical doctor told me several,years ago that 30% of his written prescriptions are patient driven. This only happens due to media drug advertisements.

Yesteryear, we had rules prohibiting scenes of partners 'in bed.' Today, you may be watching television with your eleven year granddaughter when a sultry women wearing lingerie is sprawled across a bed making a pitch for a man's erection pill. Really?

Now there is a squatty-potty advertisement. This is a little footstool apparatus that is placed at the front of your toilet, which you can put your feet atop thus contorting your body to permit 'poop' discharge more easily. The ad appeals more to children than adults since the commercial uses an animated Unicorn to 'show-the-flow.'
