Wait! Wait! Wait!

A law firm's billboard in Chicago's “Viagra Triangle” area is drawing criticism from some area attorneys who say it makes light of divorce.
Chicago has a “Viagra Triangle”? WTF?

Must be some kind of happening place, this Viagra Triangle. An attorney named Corri Fetman just made a splash in it by putting up a billboard that read “Life is Short. Get a Divorce.”

“It's grotesque,'' said John Ducanto, past president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. ”It's totally undignified and offensive.“
Or at least as scary as the cartoons in Boston.

Apparently the billboard has now been removed (although ABC has a picture, for your edification) - by whom is unclear. ABC says the owner of a parking garage took it down, the Washington Post credits ”city workers“ (which could, in Chicago, be the same thing).

”They ripped our billboard down without due process,“ Fetman said. ”We own that art. I feel violated.“
