  Advertisement on the NYC Subway for a law firm -- descriptions of cases they've won for damage from lead poisoning and medical malpractice -- and a slogan, in quotes: "We fight for kids with brain damage. " Wow. And the ad includes a silhouette of a man with a top hat and boxing gloves -- "fighting," I suppose, "for kids with brain damage. " Wow.
And it gets better. Because I went to their website, urlLink Ambulance-Chasing Law Firm's Website , where they explain the top hat / boxing glove man: "Were proud of being known as fighters for our clients rights and the [firm's] fighting spirit is embodied in our logo and our mascot, Seamus, our Fighting Irish Leprechaun. " You think I'm kidding? Check out the site. If you do some exploring, you may notice the site includes a detailed questionnaire for people seeking the firm's help in suing the tobacco companies. Among the perfectly balanced and fair questions: "What disease do you have that you think was caused by smoking? " This is why people think lawyers are sleazy. Seamus the Fighting Irish Leprechaun is why people make jokes about lawyers.
Does a fighting leprechaun mascot really help them get clients? "Good day, my lead-poisoned friend. I know a great law firm. I saw their ad on the subway. I know they're good because they have a fighting Irish leprechaun mascot named Seamus. And they advertise on the subway. Did I mention that already. I don't know if I did. Because I have brain damage. But they're fighting for me. The leprechaun dude is actually my lawyer. I think. Or that might be the brain damage talking. Who knows.
