Today's LA Times had this ad/article running today! What is it? Google knows! (Original Post) CaliforniaPeggy Aug 2021 OP
Has Trevor Noah seen this? They should ask him Budi Aug 2021 #1
Since he was heavily involved in making it, I think the safe answer is YES. ♥ CaliforniaPeggy Aug 2021 #2
LOL. I spose so. Budi Aug 2021 #3

I'd like to hear his reply to the question, "what's this all about Mr Noah?"

My guess its a mockery of someone he finds in need of mocking.

...are grifters and political operators who are more interested in advancing their political agendas than actually doing the best job of reducing their clients' likely sentences, since the best strategy for that for many of them would be to swallow hard and say "Yes sir I am guilty as charged, I thought I was just a tourist but I realize I contributed to the chaos and I take responsibility for my actions." Antagonizing the bench by advancing a political agenda, which is what some of them particularly for the more hardcore participants, is rarely a good idea for the defendant.

from the LA Times. Reportedly they ran it there and in the NYT, only, but everyone can call the hot line they set up to go with this:

1-85-OOPS-JAN6 (1-856-677-5266)
"No habla Espanol"

They guarantee to win your case or claim they did.
