I was heart crushed to learn from my brother-in-law (of all people) that the “Stella Awards” that I passed on to you last week are… well… fake news. Though the Stella Liebeck case that they are based on is real, there is no organization presently giving out awards for amazingly ridiculous litigation results. There should be, because there are plenty of stupendously stupid adjudications. Alas, there isn’t. Maybe one day I’ll find the time to promote a verifiable version of the Stella Awards. In the meantime, we’ll have to be satisfied with the fake ones.
