I know this has absolutely nothing to do with the law but it has everything to do with humanity.

I hope you are as touched by this as I am.

I just watched this very cute video on Youtube and thought I'd share it with you. It's a song about the rigors of law school replete with appropriate drawings.  Enjoy!

Octomom Porn Offer Follow-Up: Nadya Suleman Wisely Rejects the Offer

As a quick follow up to my previous blog post, it has been reported that Nadya Suleman, also known as Octomom, has rejected the offer by Stephen Hirsch of Vivid Video to star in a porn film for $1 Million.  Read the story here.  My faith in motherhood has been restored.

Octomom Offered $1 Million to Do A Porn Movie: Sordid & Offensive

I haven't really been following the Octomom story because, frankly, I don't think it's any of my business what she does.  It's a bit scary to know that Nadya Suleman has a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment within which to raise 14 young children and babies.  Is it really any of my business, though? My take on her is that she's a woman who desperately loves her children.  

Octomom is also in a very vulnerable situation right now - the buzz is that her living situation may cause the powers-that-be to prevent her from taking her new babies home from the hospital. Click here

In light of that horrific situation, Fox News reports that Vivid Video has offered her $1 million to do a porn movie. I have no idea how this will turn out but, it seems to me, that Vivid is preying on this desperate woman's love for her children and, in so doing, is asking her to denigrate herself by having sexual relations with 8 men in this proposed movie project.

Please read the following passage - does this offend you as much as it offends me or am I just out of touch?

"The number eight is obviously heavily associated with her so we would like to work with that," Vivid’s CEO Stephen Hirsch told Tarts. "But we would really love just to sit down and talk with her and come up with something she feels comfortable with. We want her to be involved with the whole thing from the plot line to the packaging."

Hirsch says Suleman has received their offer and is considering it. Suleman did not return calls for comment.

"She’s struggling financially and this is a woman who wants to provide for her kids," Hirsch said. "This way she can hold her head high and not be using taxpayers money to support her family."

I ask again: Is anyone else outraged and offended by this sordid plan or is it just me?  I'm not saying that this woman is a saint (I have no way of denying it, either) but she is a mother and this whole idea of capitalizing on her vulnerable situation by dangling $1 million in front of her is an insult to the institution of motherhood.

Lawyer Talk with Super Pat on Thai Television Network NAT TV

I have had the distinct pleasure of twice being the invited guest on Lawyer Talk with Super Pat on the Thai Television Network, NAT TV.  Super Pat, whose full name is Pashree Sripipat, is a Thai celebrity whose vivacious and probing interview style provides her viewers with education and knowledge in a very entertaining fashion.

Super Pat, the lovely lady on the right, is a renowned journalist, talk show and variety show host within the Thai community.  She first asked me to appear on her show in December 2008 to discuss personal injury matters.  What an incredible experience.  Her focus and energy drove the show and kept us on topic.  In particular, we talked about what to do if you're involved in an automobile accident and various aspects of automobile insurance.  Lawyer Talk is broadcast to local and international viewers who have the opportunity to call in with questions.  And they did. 

Super Pat asked me to make a return visit last Thursday, January 22.  Wow, what a great experience.  We discussed supermarket slip & falls, sidewalk trip & falls and automobile insurance. Calls came in from all over California as well as other parts of the country. 

I have been invited to become a regular guest to discuss personal injury matters on the last Thursday of every month. The show airs every Thursday night from 7:00-8:00 pm Pacific Standard Time on NAT TV.

Flying Trapeze - Circus Festival of Monte Carlo

The most amazing trapeze act that I have ever seen.  It's not particularly relevant to personal injury law, but it is so exquisite that I had to share it with you.

Chinese acrobats engaging in such a beautiful act.  It's awe-inspiring.  Please watch the whole video.
