1 Life's short, get a divorce...An all-female law firm is turning heads in Chicago with a new billboard and a blunt message: "Life's Short. Get a Divorce.'' The billboard features the six-pack abs of a headless male and a tanned, scantily clad female. The ad is the brainchild of Corri Fetman, who said, "Law firm advertising is boring. Everything's always the same. It's lawyers in libraries with a suit on and the law books behind them. They don't say anything. What, I should hire you because you have a law degree? C'mon. So we wanted to try something different."
