From what I read, the gist was that they could either pull them voluntarily or get hit with a false advertisement law suite. I think the whole thing is a joke. There are very few advertisements on TV for any company where a case couldn't be made for false advertisement.
Yes, this is a practice that needs to die but it seems weird to single out one company for it when the entire advertising industry is built around this stuff.
He was in "Parks and Recreation" which just ended on NBC. His character there was a big health fanatic who seemed to be shooting for a body fat percentage of zero.
He had a couple Cameo's in Franklin and Bash as well. It did appear as a resurrection for him though.
D* at this point probably doesn't really care one way or another ...
This Ad Campain is about used up and over anyways.
The first several commercials were good, then it just ran on and on ... time to pull it anyways.

DirecTV Parts Way With Rob Lowe After Comcast Complaint https://www.yahoo.com/tv/directv-rob-lowe-comcast-115853475145.html?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma
Oh come on. You don't care for the hot babe and the talking horse?
They'll probably go after this commercial for false advertising too,because horses don't really talk in real life.
Yes they do
Horses speak horse language I never heard one speak in English Maybe it is a man under the horse skin getting his workout for the day?
They annoyed me so much. I remember people actually buying into those commercials, I know people who won't switch to DirecTV or Dish Network because Time Warner says they are unreliable and crappy. I've had DirecTV since 2006(Except for 2009 when I had Dish for a little while) and have never had an issue with reliability or anything. Great CS, I can't speak any highly of them, I prefer Satellite over Cable TV any day. I do like my Internet to a certain degree, I have TWC but because I don't have AT&T UVerse or FiOS in my area, wish I did. My TWC has been going out, and seems to slow down at night, Idk why but it's just weird.
Anyway, those commercials were so annoying, anytime I see anything like that, especially on local channels, as DirecTV doesn't regulate what's shown like they do with the other channels, I just shut them off. Or if at my dad's who has TWC, I refuse to watch them, he even hates them.
Now don't get me wrong, I think having all different options is great, not everyone wants Cable or Satellite, which is fine, but I do find the bashing of certain companies/providers to be childish, especially when they say stupid things like "Well Satellite hates Puppies" So stupid.
I owe Hannah Davis a HUGE apology(after getting schooled on who she is). I'm glad I didn't post earlier,"I wonder who that actress is on the horse?"
At this point, as with all BBB threads on all subjects, note that the BBB is not really a "bureau" of any form or level of government. It is a shake down outfit that rates companies based on whether or not they pay a fee to the BBB. It has NO authority to have "told" DirecTV anything. The fact that DirecTV has told the BBB to pound sand for years, while COMCAST !!!! (the nation's lowest rated company in any field) pays up is well documented.
Anybody who deals with the BBB is probably out to cheat you.
