[It’s the anthem of The Bad Place, and rightly so.] If you’ve ever been unfortunate to hear “Kars4Kids” jingle, it’s probably playing in your head right now. I’m sorry for that. If you’re in California, though, you might be hearing less of the jingle for at least a little bit. Bruce Puterbaugh brought suit against the organization for deceptive advertising, and won. Kars4Kids now has 30 days to amend the ad, likely by adding disclaimers, or stop airing it. Despite the legal victory, the case feels rather weak. But anything that reduces the amount of play that awful jingle gets is a win. Don’t miss KarsforKidsJingle.com, either, which rather bizarrely catalogs all sorts of (almost entirely negative!) mentions and references to the song.Link: https://www.thedrive.com/news/how-a-disgruntled-man-and-his-2001-volvo-got-the-kars4kids-jingle-banned
