Mesothelioma Huh?

Posted in Blog, Daily Life, Law

I saw four commercials last night for Mesothelioma as I do just about every time I watch more than 15 minutes of live tv after midnight. I don’t know what’s more surprising: the fact that there are so many attorneys hawking ads for Mesothelioma or the fact that I still haven’t got the slightest idea what it is. Is it an ailment like cancer or a substance like asbestos? Or is it just a very big word meaning “tiny pecker?”

The way the lawyers salivate over it, I’m inclined to believe it’s some sort of Vegas affliction and the responsible parties are the smoking, gambling AND drug industries. With little private jets in their eyes, the suits urge me to call but for some reason, they’re very cryptic. If they’d just give some sort of hint to what Mesothelioma is, maybe they’d find a few more victims who want to earn pennies to their class-action dollars.

I know I could have easily done a search for Mesothelioma in the time it took me to write this. But with my luck, in the process of searching, I’d discover I have all the symptoms for something like Maxothelioma, Mesothelioma’s more-scarring-yet-less-profitable big brother. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

    Plus, if you had just searched for the definition we would have all missed the opportunity to mislead you with phoney ones like this:

    Afflicting 90% male patients, Mesothelioma is a behavioral disease which causes the patient to use public transporation wearing little more than vintage 80’s basketball shorts which are clearly too small.

    Symptoms may include “visible junk”.

    When you sit through a horrible movie or TV show, and it gets promoted by the actors who call themselves “professional” (like Heather Grahm or Melissa Joan Hart), and you want to be reimbursed for lost time…isnt that what mesothelioma is?

    Until I worked as an asbestos paralegal, I had no idea what meso was, either. And I had never heard of James Sokolov. Now I know. It’s a bad disease, terminal, really, and the lawyers are all chasing the money to be made off some dead carcas who had meso when he was still alive.

    A good rule of thumb is anything ending with “oma” is bad.

    yeah, speaking of tiny peckers, imagine the disappointment when all those claimants recieve their HUGE settlement check in the amount of $1.29 (before taxes). Well, those fucking attorneys all suffer from penis envy, you know, they have no balls! Every good lesbian knows that.

    You would think that with all the media coverage of the Olympics, everyone would know that Meso Thelioma is an Italian ice hockey player. Although I do suppose that since Italy is not that well known for their prowess in hockey, perhaps he has been overlooked … I’m guessing that’s why all the lawyers have gotten involved.

    Oddly enough, people tend to think Pavol Demitra is a hockey player for Slovakia, but pavol-demitra is actually a rare skin disease found in dogs.
