Remember when that woman sued Burger King because her child (who, if I recall correctly, was UNDER 3 YEARS OLD, and the package of every toy clearly states AGES 3 AND UP) choked on a Pokéball AND WON? It was freaky to see that commercial from Burger King warning everyone about the Pokéball, all because some whore was too busy doing it doggy style to notice that her child was chewing on a piece of plastic.
There are several other dumb, yet successful, lawsuits out there. I once got an email containing the top 5 dumb lawsuits, known as the Stella Awards. (Stella being the name of the woman who sued McDonald's because she spilled coffee on herself.) One woman was at the store when she tripped over someone's child, who was horseplaying in the store, and sprained her ankle. She sued for several thousand dollars because of the injury that this child caused. And here's the damn thing about it all: it was HER child that she tripped over. Well hell, I'm just going to go to Wal*Mart right now, take my cousin with me, purposely trip over her, and sue Wal*Mart for a million dollars! Apparently, our judges are dumb enough to declare me the winner.
The first place dumb lawsuit? A man put his vehicle into Cruise Control, thinking that it would steer itself, then went into his trailer hooked to the back of the van to make some coffee. He soon learned the hard way that he couldn't do that. He sued for over a million dollars and won. The company changed their manuals on the basis of this lawsuit just in case there were any other complete morons driving their recreation vehicles.
