Yet Another True Story About Stupid Studies:

Saturday, October 23, 2004


OK, I Get It. They were kidding...

I saw an advertisement on television the other day, where a guy drove an SUV up onto the summit of a volcano. Soon thereafter, a mighty eruption took place, with ash, rock, lava and an SUV blown into the heavens. Cut away to the surrounding area, and we see devastation. Smoke, fire, falling rocks and, yes, our SUV are plummetting back to earth. The SUV, after bouncing once or twice, drives off.

OK, Cute. So far, so good. But there at the bottom of the screen was the kicker: Do Not Attempt.

Really, if it was supposed to be a joke I think it would have been bigger. And really, I think anyone who needed that advice was incapable of reading it. And really, if any advertising agency out there needs a lawyer to help them figure out what they do and don't have to disclaim, I'm available.
