At least some of these couldn't in some venues such as television. Then recently casinos were allowed to advertise on radio, but certain words couldn't be said. They couldn't say gambling, craps, roulette and other names of the actual things that people goto casinos to do. Some of those laws for cigarettes and hard liquor are still in place. At least they are where I live. We even have insane "blue laws" that state that NO alcoholic beverages can be sold on weekends and after certain hours on week days. I am not going to bother to look up the actual times.MarvelX42https://www.blogger.com/profile/00537462072422407770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-88854436575420863342013-03-01T00:21:41.181-06:002013-03-01T00:21:41.181-06:00I believe the US has only allowed attorneys to adv...I believe the US has only allowed attorneys to advertise since the mid-80's.

You can do it, but there are ethics to it. It's interesting to think of a profession where you couldn't advertise your services. And HELLO, Australia! I happen to be listening to a Midnight Oil CD this week!Adam Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573914395859734760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-25017852153870718032013-02-28T01:04:15.058-06:002013-02-28T01:04:15.058-06:00I don't no what the situation is in the US, bu...I don't no what the situation is in the US, but in Australia, lawyers have only be allowed to advertise comparatively recently (since the 90s if I remember correctly).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06461344783528823076noreply@blogger.com
