I know it isn't a spoof but when I read this article I couldn't believe it was real. It just seemed such a risk for a lawyer to publishing so many inaccuracies. I won't say lies because I don't want to risk being sued but it did make me wonder how anyone could seriously hire them if they read that and checked the claims for themselves. |

I wonder too. Not only that, but it's such an immature rant- it sounds like a teenage fanperson, not a presumably educated adult. |

The concept evolved through several steps: |

In other news, I just stopped by a used bookstore. Unfortunately they were lacking copies of the hottest newly released books. And to make matters worse, all the books had previously been in someone else's possession. I explained to an employee that I wanted a wide selection of new books. And that the savings from buying a used book just aren't worth it to me. I was going to write up an emotional rant for my blog about how used bookstores are a piece of crap, but then it dawned on me that if I want new books I shouldn't go to a used bookstore. |
