Ride the Ducks—those amphibious vehicles that have become a tourist attraction at a number of locations across the US—would appear to be a pretty tame ride compared to what's on tap at your local Six Flags theme park—that is, of course, if your eardrums can withstand the continual honking of the duck quack whistles all Ride the Ducks passengers receive.]]> http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/blog/ride-the-ducks-accident-settles-some-question-canopy-safety-010020.html/feed 0 http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/blog/actos-lawsuit-angles-how-many-can-you-come-up-with-09972.html http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/blog/actos-lawsuit-angles-how-many-can-you-come-up-with-09972.html#comments Mon, 14 May 2012 19:50:57 +0000 AbiK http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/blog/?p=9972 If you've tried to figure out what's going on with Actos—and more specifically, Actos lawsuits--you've probably found it can get a bit confusing.

Make that in the court as Penn delivers an offensive lob over to Dunlap in the form of a false advertising lawsuit. Seems Dunlap has had the balls (too easy, had to take it) to dub itself the "World's No. 1 Ball" and the company also claims to have a 70% share of the worldwide tennis ball market.

No idea who sponsored it, though one would imagine it was a Christian organization of some sort. Regardless, as with most billboards, it was advertising something. In this case, Jesus. The come-on of course being that if you "buy" Jesus, He'll seal the transaction by saving you (or your soul). But, what if He doesn't? Is that false advertising?]]> http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/blog/is-jesus-heals-false-advertising-when-he-doesnt-09942.html/feed 1
