Never mind the Legal ad about Clinton, what about the immigration and abortion ones?

and clever, but land instead on obnoxious and/or offensive, and always punishingly unfunny. There are few things more cringe-inducing than a eyebrow-waggling grandpa trying to sound hep.

Thank goodness Boston has a couple of handfuls of truly excellent seafood places these days. This chain has been embarrassing for a while.

Is where I eat when my mom comes to Boston and I let her pick the restaurant, because if she attempts to veto my picks when I visit Burlington, I throw a fit. So, she gets her way when she comes down here, and yes, the almost 60-year old lady wants to eat at Legals when she visits Boston. I don't hate Legals, but it's not a place I would pick independently for multiple reasons, chief among them my cuts to my dining out budget as I try to figure out a career path.

I think Berkowitz is throwing strikes with his ads if that's his batter.

...it's likely a better deal.

Kind of ironic considering some years back his restaurants were caught with a cleaning contractor who was not paying the undocumented workers who were cleaning his restaurants. When confronted with this he did the usual "Oh they're not MY employees...I have no control over the contractors." Turdmonger.

call his chain of restaurants a "chain of restaurants". He dislikes the word "chain."

I agree, overpriced, mediocre food. Many other better places to eat fish in Boston and its environs.

One of the bad things about the Internet is the constant presence of people, on both sides, that are constantly outraged and offended by something.

I am virulently pro-choice, and I didn't see the ad as offensive-- an ad which, after all, is poking slight fun at the prochoice side, not the antichoice side. Silly, but not offensive.

The immigration one, on the other hand-- the implication that Mexican immigrants are eating overpriced Legal Seafoods fish erstaz tacos is offensive. Not up there with calling all immigrants rapists and murderers, but low level offensive.

The rest just aren't clever. Slim is right-- it's phony edginess, like an advertising fauxhawk.

That the company handling Legal Seafoods advertising is still the clowns who did those horrid chip-on-your-shoulder Suffolk University ads is apparent. How do they stay in business?

I laughed at both the Hillary and the Trump ads.

Those ads are more memorable and entertaining than any other current print ads (and look, we're talking about them) so they must be working.
