Not For Adults Only: “Dignity, Always Dignity”

The South Dakota Special Committee on Judicial Ethics Campaign Intervention has issued an opinion that concludes that, with dignity, a judicial candidate can advertise in a movie theater.

The opinion relies on the Merriam Webster dictionary definition of “dignity.”

Warning: it would not comport with the dignity standard to advertise for a judicial campaign in an adult movie theater.

Also, dignity may be affected by the particular movie that is being shown when the ad runs.

I welcome reader suggestions as to movies that may not satisfy the dignity standard.

For instance, how about The Verdict, where the judge clearly favors the big law firm throughout the litigation?

And what if the candidate mistakenly thinks that “Deep Throat” is a movie about the Watergate investigation?
