Or, the McDonald's coffee lawsuit.

Uh, I'd venture that 99.9% of the people who bring this up as a supposed
example of a frivolous lawsuit, actually have never heard the real
story.

Fact 1: The woman received THIRD DEGREE burns. The coffee was FAR hotter
than any reasonable restaurant ever serves it. This was a deliberate
ploy to reduce requests for refills, as the stuff couldn't even be
sipped for 10-15 minutes.

Fact 2: The woman asked McD's to pay her medical bills, which IIRC were
a couple of hundred dollars.

Fact 3: She brought suit only AFTER McD refused to pay the paltry
medical bills.


Fact 4: She stuck it between her legs in her car. Who in their right
mind does that?


Who in their right mind thinks someone THAT stupid should be rewarded
for suffering the consequences because THEY ARE THAT STUPID? O_o


Not me. She should have been sterilized for being so stupid,
hopefully before she had any idiot offspring.


The hot coffee douche didn't take care of that? ^_^

At her age I think the prospect of future offspring was a moot point
regardless. As someone once said of Australia, "it's down there, but
nobody cares".


There is always cloning. ^_^
