Hopefully people will think through these ads a bit more since people continue to protest. I am so glad it was taken down.

Public pressure really works-and if a hue and cry from Autism activists was not enough.....if I was at the Dairy Board right now I would have been meeting with my lawyers....think about what happened to Oprah when she did a show about beef and safety. The 'beef, it's whats for dinner' people sued her but she won because she did not lie about the beef industry-everything she showed on TV was found to be the truth about slaughterhouses. PETA would not have fared as well in court, IMO. ~Sarah Lamar Advertising stated that after reviewing the copy internally it was decided that the ad was inappropriate-um, four days after the ad had been displayed…after they took the $$ and built and hung the billboard.
