The October issue of the American Bankruptcy Institute Journal has an entertaining and humorous tribute to Reader’s Digest, in honor of its recent bankruptcy filing, written by Dallas attorney Eric Van Horn who regularly writes for the ABI Journal’s ”Chapter 8″ humor column.

The tribute provides Reader’s Digest-style synopses of events leading up to recent media and celebrity bankruptcies, along with a clever take on the leveraged buyout.  If you are an ABI member, it is the Sideshow article that is part of the Chapter 8 humor column; otherwise look for it on Westlaw or Lexis (although we encourage all bankruptcy professionals to join the ABI).

Eric Van Horn can also be contacted for a copy of the article at chapter8humor@gmail.com.

LawShucks added its own take on Bankruptcy Bill’s Fantasy Bankruptcy in its Quick Shucks 10.08.09:

Fantasy bankruptcy is brilliant. Harvey Miller is the Adrian Peterson of the draft, but then do you go for the double-down strategy of picking Goldstein, or do you diversify and go with someone from K&E?
