Young & Rich, J.D.: One Gignatic, Hilarious Fail

Normally, I don't like linking to blogs/sites that are delusional or full of propaganda or illogical conclusions. But today I'm making an exception to give you the epic fail that is Young & Rich, J.D. Reading it makes for high comedy. I can only hope it's an elaborate joke, but sadly, I'm not sure that it is.

The premise of the blog can be explained by the absurd About Me section:

Young and Rich self-made millionaire with a JD from a third-tier law school. A law school referred to by so called "scambloggers" as a 3rd-tier toilet (TTT). Such law schools are often blamed by the students for their own misfortune. The inspiration for this blog was the class action lawsuit against Thomas Jefferson Law School by a graduate who couldn't find a job. Young&Rich, JD is meant to be the antithesis to the typical law school scamblog. We talk about success. We talk about making it. We talk about money and what it buys. We are inspirational yet condescending. We tell the truth even if the truth hurts. We are real.

Sloppy writing aside, I encourage my readers to check it out. Whether it's ironic or earnest, it's genuinely hilarious. It reads like some back-room administrative assistant at a law school decided to make stuff up on a blogger account, complete with god-awful writing ability.

The icing on the cake is that yesterday's entry celebrates Carson Block, a guy who:

• became truly successful by leaving the law;
• graduated top 10% from a T-2 back in 2005 (I don't think any of us would argue that him getting a gig at Jones Day was a surprise)
• left the law to become a researcher for his father, who is an investor wealthy enough to hire someone in this capacity;
• has done nothing post-law that required his law degree; and
• runs a company that engages in extremely shady behavior by short-selling companies they issue public, sometimes-dubious research on, e.g. when they buried Orient Paper's stock price on what turned out to be mostly false allegations. Just today, their recent target, Sino-Forest, is up 16% on an article that rebuts some of Muddy Waters' recent allegations.

To whomever is behind it, it's very entertaining. Like The Onion of legal field blogs, only there's a chance that some anonymous "millionaire" buffoon actually believes this stuff.
