Comments: "Ransom Notes" Ad Campaign Halted
Oh, well! Irrespective of whether it was the bad press, or the realization that the timbre of the campaign was, how shall I put this, ill-advised(?), I suppose this is a step in the right direction. With a bit of luck, and input from the patients/carers themselves, something a bit more positive might come about, in terms of the message.

Good, I hope he felt the slap on his face and humiliation of appearing like an arrogant Dr. Idiot.

Too little too late?
It took Harold Koplewicz too long to realize that hurting people you want to “help” is not acceptable collateral damage. We should write these officials to thank them for pulling the ads and request that they keep an eye on Dr. Koplewicz to make sure he doesn’t try anything this dirty again to drum up business in the name of public awareness:
