David Stanley launches new series of probably deceptive Christmas ads…

1:55 PM EST on December 15, 2015

Back in 2014, we let everyone know that David Stanley Dodge was hit with a record $350,000 fine by the Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Commission for misleading and deceptive advertising practices. We were literally the only media outlet in the state to report the news, because unlike our rich friends in the TV, print and radio media, we don't count on David Stanley to hit advertising quotas, and therefore didn't have to worry about them pulling their ads.

As part of the fine, David Stanley apparently agreed to stop deceptive advertising practices. They were also required to have all advertisements reviewed by either a lawyer or local televangelist. I honestly can't remember which one. As a result, we now get ads like this one for Riverside Chevrolet in Tulsa.
