He ruined his dad's law firm. What Mr. Jerry built was impressive, and Gordon is now dragging that name through the mud.

I applied for a job with him.

They never contacted me, however.

It goes farther than the local airwaves. He started running ads during the morning, and evening news in Monroe a couple of months ago.

Out of the 10-12 injury attorneys on our stations, his ads are the worst.

People care because he is a man of god and loves jesus. His bible verse flag and giant cross have led millions to heaven.

I have often wondered the same thing OP.

And why the frick is it a “grand dog”? You don’t have grandchildren. Just call it a dog.

He is truly hateable.

When you make a living by siphoning money off of the misery of others, your public image can take a big hit. People begin to think of you as what you really are: a f**king leech.

So the purpose of commercials like Gordon's is to soften that image and try to humanize him. And then maybe you'll hire him to feed off of your misery.

Gordon is the wolf, and the commercial is the sheep's clothing.

Gordon is the worst. He's completely ruined watching the local news. Have to put it on mute because it's an onslaught of nonstop idiotic annoying commercials.

the entire point of that marketing strategy is just to have his name repeated over and over again to form an association

that's why they buy a million billboards. each billboard is worthless, but a swarm of them is effective

he knows it doesn't really matter what's in his commercials, so i guess he's just praising his family. maybe it's a midlife crisis or something. maybe it's guilt. who knows, but since the content doesn't matter he's apparently going personal

I just want to know why his son has his entire number ripped off his jersey for the commercial

I do find it odd that he's making commercials showing off different parts of his ridiculously nice house, it makes me not want to give him any more business (if I was into making bullshite claims)

Someone made a good point to me not long ago.... We are watching a real life brewster's millions situation unfold and it's Gordon at the center. He has one month to unload 5 billion or he dosen't get a dime. Naturally he's decided to blow a ton of that on commercials, but ran out of things to make a comercial about....so commercial about my son's football career, commercial about my daughter going to college, commercial about my daughter coming back from college...frick still have to spend 2.8 billion...ummm commercial about the new dog!!!
