[Tango-L] Tango and Junk Science commercial

[Irwin L. Singer]

	Four couples dance to the strains of  “La Cumparsita” (QuinTango) in a 
commercial filmed in Washington DC this summer. The commercial, which 
exploits "Tango" to 'highlight partnerships between some personal injury 
lawyers and "expert" witnesses who manufacture junk science to promote 
questionable lawsuits', not mine), begins “It takes two to tango and some 
personal injury lawyers know that too.”  Acting out this theme, the couples 
­ one a lawyer, the other a scientist ­ tango and grin smugly at each other 
as they ponder ripping off US Corporations. The 30 second commercial ends 
with a couple separating as the narrator demands: “Let’s stop the junk 
science tango.”
	Five Washington - Baltimore tangueros can be seen in the commercial: Pablo 
“Not Qualified” Fontana and his wife, Flavia, Jake (Sleazy Lawyer) Spatz in 
full-facial nudity, Irwin “Junk Scientist” Singer and Karen (Sleazy Lawyer) 
Frances.  You can see the commercial at

TV set near you.
