Your Honor...I Need A Cartoon Lawyer!

So as I'm lounging in yet another hotel for the night trying to escape the Arizona heat...I'm half watching, half reading when a commercial catches my attention, (which is the point of a commercial I suppose). ha ha..
The commercial has a big blue cartoon bulldog..almost like the one from old Warner Bros. cartoons. The background voice is droning on about a law firm and the typical ambulance chasing spiel rambles on about entitlements, time, etc..etc.. ,but my attention for the most part is still "drawn" to this cartoon bulldog. I have to say I was completely fascinated.

Here's why....if you are a serious law firm trying to reach those who need assistance with bankruptcies, accident claims, or social security filings, what audience are you trying to reach with a big, blue cartoon bulldog? What does a cartoon or a bulldog have to do with law???

Then it hits me!!! So imagine if you will a prestigious office. In walks a girl of 8 years old. She has her professional Hannah Montana jacket on with matching shoes and a mini skirt. In her hand she carries her pink, Barbie briefcase. She comes to the advertised lawyer to file her injury claim against a miserable 7 year old who has a "drinking" problem. Apparently he'd just gotten on his bike after leaving the local lemonade stand and while wobbling uncontrollably down her block he hits her little red wagon causing injury. I think she may have a strong case! LOL

As for me...I think I may have to stick to those more "mature" lawyers who don't sound like Elmer Fudd, and look for killing wabbits.

Eat your heart out Jessica Rabbit!!! LOL
