Lawyers Using Databases To Grab Clients

bc90021 writes "It seems that lawyers are using jail-house email lists to send potential clients letters offering their services. One couple, on finding their son who'd been missing for two days, '...was astonished that deputies failed to call them when their son was arrested -- though contact and medical information was in the young man's wallet -- yet managed to inform people who wanted his business.'"

What do you think was a better finishing move, Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Dream or Jake Roberts' DDT?

Also, what the hell was up with Hulk Hogan's leg drop? It seems that the move would have been much more effective if he moved over a bit and hit the guy with his ass.

Try "government of the people, by the people" at it's best.

Re:article text (incase it gets slashdotted)

[satterth]

It was slashdotted on 9/11 as I recall.

I wouldn't even call that a Slashdotting. More like a World Dotting. Their connection was going down regardless if Slashdot was there to help.
