April Fool's Day Blog Roundup 1

April Fool's Day produced an avalanche of great blog posts. The Corporate Counsel Blog has great posts about (1) the first whistleblower suit about executive compensation disclosure - against McDonald's! (2) an argument that if one hedges too aggressively it can be hard to say who's side one is on and (3) a funny rundown of fake, and/or insane SEC filings from the past.

The filing he's trying to remember is the F-1 registration filed by Apollo Publication Corp. in September of 2005. George Bush, Jimmy Carter and "Al Greenspan" are listed as directors. The business plan involves, "found[ing] An Imperial Of Earth (IOE) with One God Luo, One Language, One Culture, One History, One Law, One Standard, One Currency, One Postal, etc on One Land of Earth of Solo Solar System." The decision granting the SEC's petition to put an end to this insanity is almost as funny as the Apollo registration.
