Or what about the case where some lady spilled coffee on herself and sued McDonalds because they didn't tell her coffee(which is ussually hot) was hot. That's a classic!
btw-She won that case

McDonalds should have a disclamer.
"You might get burned
the food might be raw,
you might lose teeth, your life, your sanity
your kids might barf
If you walk through the front door, anything can happen.
So, if you buy something, your taking responsibility for your life, and health.
The customer is always right.. We hope so"
Theres no big deal, nothing wrong with Mcd's!
Except that time I ordered a fish sandwhich thing.. and some chick used catfood instead..
wierd :/

Well, not a link but take your pick from this...
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
It's time once again to consider the candidates for the annual Stella Awards. The Stella's are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonalds. That case inspired the Stella Awards for the most uniquely successful lawsuits in the United States for last year. Actually, joint awards should be given to the plaintiff attorneys and the flaming idiots on the juries who awarded anything at all to these morons--who deserved NOTHING!!!! The following are this year's candidates:
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $780,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving little toddler was Ms. Robertson's son.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A 19-year-old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn't reenter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of $500,000.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded $14,000 and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor's beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. The award was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A Philedelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an arguement.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, successfully sued the owner of a night club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
This year's favorite could easily be Mr. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On his first trip home, having driven onto the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the owner's manual that he couldn't actually do this. The jury awarded him $1,750,000 plus a new motor home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there were any other complete morons buying their recreation vehicles.

To be fair, I do recall a story about McDonalds sueing a Scotish Restaurant with the same name. The american version presumed that it had the right to a name that the owners of the scotish restaraunt had been using for centuries as a name, and decades as a name for the restaurant.
Big Business can be just as stupid when it wants to be in this case.

Bwaaahahhahahaaa
It surprises me how dumb some ppl are!
Also,how absurd decision the jury makes!
One thing,not at all funny,was 4 policemen beating a black man in LA.It was caught on tape and shown in the court.
No matter the evidence,the 4 policemen won the case.
That triggered a riot in some parts of LA.
