Life’s short. Get a divorce.

I came across this genius advert this morning for an all-female law firm in Chicago.

Lots of Americans are not happy about it…

“It’s grotesque,” said John Ducanto, past president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. “It’s totally undignified and offensive.”

The creators of the ad saythey wanted to stand out, as most law firms have such boring advertising. Defending claims that it trivialises divorce, the makers deny this and instead say that it promotes happiness.

People are getting way too uptight. It’s different. No baby pandas were harmed. I like it.
