Hopefully, my anger at these ridiculous ads by the State of IL will lead me to rant on about more thinks that piss me off. It's kind of my thing.
If you live Illinois (or for those depending on Moline for your local television...one of the mockings of Iowa I'd been holding back on), you have probably seen or heard the "Loser DUI" ads. I'm not overly pissed at the TV ads because, I cannot piss on the art of implication, but this sound bite from the radio ad makes me want to scream for the ACLU to do something about it..
"If you get a DUI, you might as well have a big tattoo of the word loser on your forehead...We can't hire that loser.".

Stacia was also a really smart person who kept her feet on the ground, and knew how to get the most out of life. Usually, that came out through some of the best rock of our generation, her wicked sense of humor, and her beaming smile that never seemed to fade.
Russ, I agree. Thought the same thing when I heard the ad. Being in employment/human resources, while companies can restrict who they hire, they can't withdraw employment for someone who accepts a job and has a misdemeanor DUI on their record for a position that does not involve driving. Now if driving is a part of the job, they can as long as they say that up front that passing a driving background check is a condition of employment. The ad is not clear on this and is somewhat misleading.
