On Petition for Rehearing.
The appellants have filed a petition for rehearing in which they suggest that the court has overlooked the fact that their proposed amended complaint alleges that the objectionable advertising by the respondent constitutes a public nuisance.
This matter was considered by the court. We believe that the remedy of appellants should be sought through the Legislature. Where that body, in its wisdom, specifically provided that certain publications by advertising media should not render such media liable for publishing the same, we fail to comprehend on what theory the courts should hold such acts by such media a public nuisance.
The petition for rehearing is denied.
STRUTZ, ERICKSTAD, KNUDSON and TEIGEN, JJ., concur.
BURKE, C. J., did not participate.
