Anybody watch this show? Strange is an understatement. 

The only thing weirder than the addictions is these people’s willingness to admit their addictions.

My first time watching this show a few years back, I had the pleasure of catching the “I Love My Car” episode. 

I couldn’t turn away. 

Meet Nathaniel. 

Nathaniel is in a committed relationship with his car, an older model red Grand Prix he affectionately named, Chase. Nathaniel caresses and kisses the car and admits he even gets sexually “physical” with Chase, referring to the car as his “sexy man.”

If you’ve never seen this ‘strange’ episode, check out a clip:

Law Student Sues School For Lack Of Employment After Graduating

  

Anna Alaburda a graduate of the Thomas Jefferson School of Law left school with roughly $150,000 in debt and says she was unable to find employment as a lawyer.

According to a report in the New York Times: 

“Alaburda argued that the school reported a higher percentage of its graduates landed jobs after graduation than was actually the case, and that she relied on the bogus data to choose to attend the school.” 

The jury disagreed that the school should be held liable.

Alaburda is one of many law school graduates across the country who have tried to sue their former schools for publishing what they argue were misleading statistics on graduates chances for high-paying employment after graduation, but the Alaburda case is rare in that it actually made it in front of a jury without being thrown out or settled.

Alaburda relied on California State anti-fraud statutes to argue that the school mislead her into believing that 80 percent of its graduates found employment as lawyers nine months after graduation. In fact, those statistics included graduates who found “such work as a pool cleaner, waitress or sales clerk,” according to the report.

Michael Sullivan, a lawyer for the Thomas Jefferson School of Law told the jury: 

“I’m not here to tell you a law degree is a guarantee of career success, is a guarantee of riches. It’s not. No degree is.”
