Ads I Hate

For some reason I don't like the ads on the Weather Channel, these two categories in particular:
  1. the law firms trolling for those who suffer from asbestos or various medicines so they can mount a class action suit.  Not sure why they bug me; maybe I remember in the old days when it was both illegal and unseemly for lawyers and other professionals to advertise.
  2. the medical device makers, particularly the motorized wheelchair ones.  Here my puritan soul is aggrieved: you should make do with crutches or walkers, not sit on your butt in a device my tax dollars help pay for.
My burst of aggravation was triggered by this NBC news piece on no. 2, and maybe the fact spring is late this year.
