Didn't know where else to put this, but it was new to me when I heard on the local, conservative ClearChannel radio station this morning an advertisement encouraging divorce!
It was from a law firm, of course, but it was surprisingly strong, "... sure, you could try counseling, and wait to see if it gets better -- the trouble is you could be waiting forever! Why should the two of you be even more miserable in 25 years when 4 of you could be a lot happier!" They were pushing their divorce web site and even had a 1-8xx-DIVORCE phone number. Not that divorce isn't absolutely the right thing for some people, but encouraging strangers over the airwaves to divorce seemed like a new low from the legal industry.
