Question to GTHL from all of us hockey parents

— 02.08.2013 12:13 PM

Every road in the city is a frigging disaster zone. Schools, businesses shut down. Snow isn’t being cleared away, anywhere.

But you guys think it’s safe to send kids out on the roads tonight for a few games? Seriously?

Wake up, GTHL.

(Oh, and don’t forget to check your litigation exposure, on this one. I suspect you’ll need a top-up.)

Ad agency genius: says you are jealous of lawyers, because they’re “smarter than you” (updated)

— 02.08.2013 10:23 AM

“There is probably a bit of envy,” Mr. Howlett said. “There may also be that insecurity you get when there is someone in the room who is smarter than you.”

That’s a quote. Swear to God.

I know I’ve posted on this already. And I recall, too, that I used to be on the Ontario Bar Association executive, and I liked the folks there a lot (Louise Harris, in particular, but she’s now gone). But I have to say: this campaign launch – and letting this ad genius speak on the record – has to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen. It is dumber than a sack of hammers. Dumber than a bag of hair. Dumber than…well, you get the picture.

As a lawyer, and a long-time OBA guy, I cannot believe they’ve done something this idiotic. Therefore, as a public service, I intend to closely follow this “campaign,” which we are told was “two years in the making.” If nothing else, it’s going to be fun.

UPDATE: Looks like I’m not the only lawyer who is pissed off/amazed. Check out the pounding Jordan Furlong gives them, here.
