Survivor Winner Yul Kwon Speaks About Law School in S.F.
Famous local Yul Kwon spoke to college students and recent grads today about the pros and cons of entering law school. Larger photo here.
Survivor winner and yogurt loser Yul Kwon spoke to a crowd of aspiring law students about the advisability of making that choice. The Asian American Bar Association Law Day for Minority Youth gave a chance for young people to weigh their options.
It seems Yul is thinking about going back to public service. Is elected office in his future? In the meantime, he's still out promoting the Asian American Donor Program.
He says that he isn't necessarily a "cheerleader for law school" and that Yale was "depressing", but he values the experience of law school because it can "sharpen your ability to think critically." Fair enough. Choose wisely.

Yul Kwon? Elected office?
What.
A.
Nightmare.
Working as an aide to Sen. Lieberman, he was instrumental in drafting the parts of the Homeland Security Act that allow the Federal Gov't to spy on US citizens.
Which makes him, in my book, a first-rate douche.
Jackie Speier, on the other hand, is a huuuuuuge privacy rights advocate. And even she's going to be challenged from the left by super-duper-web-rights-guru Lawrence Lessig.
This is going to be a very internet-y election. And I genuinely can't think of a worse person to win it than Yul Kwon.
So he won a game show where the biggest subversive asshole wins, tried to open a yogurt chain in North Beach AND he's a lawyer. Sounds like he wins the dickhead trifecta. I hear that his next venture is opening a Kool-Aid stand next to the Fillmore, you know, in front of the post office. yeah, right there...
"Dickhead trifecta" is now my phrase of the day. Thanks, RobininSF!
Easy now, childrens. The yogurt shop wasn't chainy enough to be banned when it was originally approved. It became too chainy during the long build out process.
And as for being a lawyer, everybody loves lawyers, right?
RobinSF wins the thread.
Thank you folks, I'll be here all week. Please tip your wait staff generously!
You guys are just haters and jealous that he did more than your pathetic asses. Whats wrong with talking t o minority students about law school?
What's wrong with that??? Two words: More lawyers. And the day I am jealous of a bottom feeding, scum sucking lawyer is the day I carve the brain out of my own head with a used KFC spork.
Everyone hates a lawyer. Until they hurt themselves at work, or get their entrails sucked out because of some defective product, or their car explodes because of a defect the company KNEW about (and decided it'd be cheaper to just pay out the occasional wrongful death action) and their boss/giant corporation tells them to go fuck themselves.
Then they run crying, wee, wee, wee to who? To a fucking lawyer, that's who.
