Northern Alabama, eh? And here I was thinking it might be from California.

@michael reynolds:

I’ll leave it to James to comment on the Alabama part of this if he chooses to.

To be fair to the firm in question, from Lowering the Bar’s accompanying text

So far, I have not seen any evidence that McCutcheon & Hamner, P.C., actually approved these ads or that they have ever run on TV or elsewhere. At one point the creator seems to refuse to “confirm or deny” that the firm actually bought them. So the firm may have been just as horrified as others are, and these spots are on YouTube only as a promotional effort by Definitive Television. (I have asked the firm for comment.) If so, then the firm itself would not be responsible for this ad.
