Bad Ads: The Pro Drunk Driving, Anti Lindsay Lohan Ad
By Jebbica | May 4, 2008
This just makes me mad on so many levels.
USA TODAY ran this full-page ad paid for by the liquor industry recently, and it is just in bad, bad taste, and it’s ridiculous!
Let’s forget that they didn’t even spell Lindsay Lohan’s name right and focus on how horrible this is! Arg…I don’t even know what to say!
Lindsay’s lawyer Blair Berk said it pretty well:
“USA TODAY is idiotic for running such an irresponsible advertisement, suggesting that drinking and driving is some kind of American ‘tradition’ we should protect. Not identifying that this ad was paid for by the liquor industry is profoundly reckless.
Drunk, old, white businessmen, drunk cougars out for girls night out, and drunk wedding parties should be kept off the roads of America. Lindsay Lohan fully endorses ignition interlock devices that have been well-proven to save lives.”
I make a lot of jokes on here, but one thing that will never be a joke to me is drunk driving. Just don’t do it, period! Get a cab, find a designated driver, take the bus, something! Just do NOT get behind the wheel of a vehicle and think that you are going to be okay! Don’t put yourself and others in danger like that!
