Refusing to listen to your stupid "Ted Talk"...since 2004

Thank you sir, may I have another?
People, it just never ends. Now a group in California is suing Mickey D's over their happy meals. It turns out that kids like them and get mad if mom says no. So mom is suing!!
I am not making this up.
Of course mom is not "just" a mom; she's an employee of a state funded vegetable advocacy group.
To put a stop to things like this you could start with introducing a proper tort law that caps damages at a reasonable amount and then reform the judicial procedure (no pleading, cross examination; maybe even abandon the jury) and all of a sudden suing for things like this seems not very enticing and people are much less likely to find a lawyer for it.
liability cap is a total non sequitur. Do you actually believe the plaintiff thinks she will win $ from this? This is a publicity stunt to bolster support for limits on marketing directed towards children and nothing more.
Here's what a quick Google image search turned up. Looks pretty chubby to me: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/12/16/article-1339088-0C817C29000005DC-289_468x359.jpg
I'll bet she's fat. I haven't seen a picture of her but this type behavior screams out beached whale.
ReplyDeleteI have to confess to my sins.
ReplyDeleteI am personally acquainted with the emeffing lawyer from Dallas that is behind the suit.
$@#!&sucker has been in my home.
I bet you can smell the stench from there.
I don't normally comment anonymously. I don't have the money to fend off lawyers. Yes, I am afraid of them. Kind of sad, huh?
CSPI is behind it. Par for the course.
