Blah Blah Blah

I just found out that real life was invaded by TV.

Before I continue to write, I absolutely insist that all of you go out and watch the entire run of Arrested Development. Go ahead. I'll wait.

Ok. At least promise me you'll try to make an effort to watch at least part of it. If it suits you.

Or not.

Whatever. Its in your best interest. It is, perhaps, the funniest thing you're going to find on DVD. The critics back me up. The TV viewers, sadly, did not.

This is not just a commercial for a defunct show. This is almost as pointless. This is a post predicated on the reader having watched said show. If you haven't done what I asked by now, you might as well save your time and stop reading this post.

As it turns out, Bob Loblaw's Law Blog (say it fast), a blog written by a character played by Scott Baio, has made the leap from my DVD player to the interweb. It describes itself as:

A daily summary of the best (and worst) of federal appellate decisions

This website is intended purely for entertainment. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive review of appellate law. It is not intended as a legal research tool. Nothing in this blog should be interpreted as legal advice.

Despite the fact that nothing about that description sounds remotely like entertainment, it was a pretty solid move for some bored lawyer to capture web traffic via a (weak) pop culture reference. If a curious lawyer loved Arrested Development and happened to google the law blog, he would pretty much be a reader for life. On the other hand, if this is Scott Baio getting a little too much into his character, its a little disturbing.

I'm not sure how I feel about fictional things existing. Unicorns, I can handle, but law blogs make me nervous.

Why should you go to jail for a crime somebody else noticed?
