Wednesday's Three Burning Legal Questions

Here are today's three burning legal questions, along with the answers provided by the blogosphere.

1) Question: We've got a great new ad for our law firm featuring a "gong" sound. It's gold, I tell you -- gold! Are there any legal issues to deal with here?

Answer: What? You put the gong in?! Who told you to put the gong in?! I didn't tell you to put the gong in!! Why'd you put the gong in?!! (National Law Journal, Law Firm Can't Use Certain Phrases, Sounds and Visuals in Ads for Now) (click on video below!)

2) Question: My mom said I can get a pet for my birthday! Hooray!!  We live in San Francisco -- what should I get?

Answer: That's your call, but I hope your birthday is soon if you want anything with either fur or feathers. (Los Angeles Times, Fur and Feathers Fly as San Francisco Weighs Ban on Pet Sales)

3) Question: Today is my big job interview at the clothing store! What should I wear?

Answer: NOT the clothes that the store has a videotape of you stealing from it the day before. (QMI Agency, Applicant Can Add 'Shoplifting' to Resume) (via Consumerist)
