‘Tighty-Whities’ Caption Contest Winner
A clear winner emerged from the 2499 votes on ATL’s Tighty-Whities caption contest:
The man in the photo is David Remes, a partner at Covington & Burling — but not for long, as reported by the Legal Times. From the WSJ Law Blog:
David Remes, who made Law Blog headlines last week for removing his pants at a news conference in Yemen, is leaving the firm, according to the Legal Times, which reported the news over the weekend. Remes will reportedly devote himself exclusively to human rights litigation.Last week, we reported that Remes (Columbia, Harvard Law), who’s representing 15 Yemeni detainees at Guantanamo Bay, removed his pants at a news conference in Yemen. Remes was attempting to demonstrate what he feels are the inappropriate body searches that detainees are undergoing several times per day.
“At the press conference in Yemen — this is a society where the rule of morality is so strict — I wanted to drive home the degree of humiliation that these searches cause by illustrating a typical body search,” Remes told the LB.
Biglaw doesn’t like seeing those kinds of briefs.

I hope Remes did not illustrate a "typical body search".

Kash, if I fail the bar next week it's going to be because you and Lat posted 12 times per day this week on flame-worthy topics, requiring me to put aside bar prep to troll and bait people. I hope you're happy.

I'm...at a loss. He was part of that whole...Yale thing,
you know.
KIMBALL
Yale thing?
A pause.
BATEMAN
Yeah...Yale thing.
KIMBALL
What do you mean...Yale thing?
A pause.
BATEMAN
Well, I think for one that he was probably a closet
homosexual. Who did a lot of cocaine...that Yale thing.
LOL - just saw this - I was the author! Thanks to all for the votes...
T14 eh? Go figure.
"Of course, the nail-packed vest which the bomber my client trained wore was located slightly higher than his junk. Said junk is now scattered across a few city blocks in Kandahar, horrifying passersby in a country with equally strict moral standards."
*vomits*
Jesus, if this stunt was premeditated, he could of at least donned a sexier pair of skivvies - Calvins maybe?
Or a less sexy pair. Boxers?
Dudes should not be allowed to purchase tighty-whities, unless they are over the age of 50. Don't they know that women do not find those attractive? Yuck!
I am emotionally distressed from witnessing this picture.

You are correct, sir.
Are Gitmo prisoners issued tighty whiteys or boxers? Is there some sort of approved muslim bananna burqa?
The fact that the "briefs can mean both legal filings AND underwear" joke (using the term loosely) made not just the finalist list for this caption contest but also made it into this post should tell everyone that lawyers have a long way to go in the evolution of their sense of humor.
