“The Purge: Election Year.” A violent fiction just barely stranger than the truth.

Gods of Advertising

Say what you will about the horror franchise but the latest Purge movie is eerily prophetic in its depiction of the divisive state of our Union. For those unawares, the concept deals with a government sanctioned night of rage that takes place once a year in America. All crimes, including murder, are legal for 12 hours.

Golden Rules: Diving Into Rule 40

All About Advertising Law

The next issue in our series of blog posts about the Olympics considers “Rule 40,” which can get both advertisers and athletes into trouble.

Rule 40 restricts participants in the Olympic Games ( i.e. , competitors, coaches, trainers, and officials) from allowing their “person, name, picture or sports performances to be used for advertising during the Olympic Games.
