A Contracts Exam Hypothetical: Review Levi Johnston's Gay Porn Offer Letter

As tout le monde knows, Levi Johnston — the Alaskan hunk who fathered Sarah Palin’s grandchild, and who came thisclose to becoming the Republican VP nominee’s son-in-law — recently posed for Playgirl. To the disappointment of many, he refrained from full-frontal nudity (but did bare his bum for the cameras).
To check out the pics, visit [Not Safe for Work (NSFW)] Playgirl.com [NSFW]. For collected expert evaluations of the photos — Levi got some flak for overly hairy armpits, among other shortcomings — check out Us Weekly.
Not surprisingly, given his good looks and celebrity, Levi Johnston has received a number of other business propositions as well. He was recently offered a six-figure sum to appear in erotic videos by [NSFW] Corbin Fisher [NSFW], one of the world’s premier gay pornography companies.
No, dear ATL readers, this is not an excuse for your above-signed writer to offer you his personal gay porn recommendations. There is actually a legal connection.
Here’s your assignment. Read over the actual offer letter that Corbin Fisher sent to Levi Johnston (after the jump).
Pretend that Johnston is your client. How would you advise him? Review and flyspeck the offer letter. Do you see any terms in it that might be problematic for your client?
Should Johnston accept the Corbin Fisher offer, reject it, or make a counteroffer? If he makes a counteroffer, what should he include as the proposed terms? What considerations should he keep in mind in negotiating towards a more complete contract?
Okay, enough teasing; let’s see the goods. Check out the Corbin Fisher offer letter, after the jump.


The two-page Corbin Fisher offer letter appears below. You can enter your observations and advice in the comments. Next week we will do a round-up of our favorite comments — and let you know how Levi Johnston responded in real life.
(Disclosure: As you can see from the letter, Corbin Fisher is represented by noted lawyer and legal blogger Marc Randazza. Randazza also represented Above the Law when we were recently sued, in the short-lived lawsuit of Jones v. Minkin.)
