I'm a fat bastard, who can I sue?
Who ever said that people don't take responsibility for their actions?

why they eat that thing... they did not have to eat by force..
this way to make is of unresponsibles and hypocritical persons
It's too bad cases like this go to court at all, let alone that the claimants might win. One particularly stupid case I remember is the woman who tripped on a toddler in a supermarket and fell, breaking an ankle. The woman successfully sued the supermarket for a six-figure sum, for allowing toddlers to crawl on the floor unsupervised. This despite the little fact that the kid was... her own fucking son!
I really hope we don't start going down the same avenue in Britain. If the woman above, for instance, was told to fuck right off by the police, or even given a 15-day jail sentence by the judge for taking the piss, we would not hear of new cases like this emerging.
my mum said she got fat after having me...so if i get fat after having kids, can i sue them?:p
:rolleyes:
He shouldn't put ideas in their heads!!
I hope they lose.
The smokers who sued the tobacco complanies were sueing because originally the complanies denied the fact that smoking causes cancer, and I htink that that is a fair case.
Scarily, that wouldnt surprise me. Not at all.
Damned Americans.
I hope they win, but are fined twice the damages awarded for wasting the court's time.

McDonalds have for ages said that thier chips are fine for vegitarians, BUT it turns out that they fry them in beef fat. This is a case of the companies mis-selling their goods.
The layer who has taken on this case is the same one who started procedings for the smokers in the US and I heard him interviewed. He said that they knew it was harmful but that the fast food companies under stated the risks on purpose and therefore are guilty of mis-advertising.
He sounded very inteligent and he did make some valid points;
"cigerette companies cant come out with a healthy cigerette but fast food chains could make their meals better for people"
He has also had some success, McDollalds has already pleged $1m towards a ad campain warning people of the possible risks of eating at they restaurant too often. HMmm the US is quite wierd sometimes.
No, its about people trying to make a quick buck without having to work for it.
It takes a certain kind of stupidity to believe that eating greasy, fatty food isn't going to affect your waistline.
Entirely different story though, isn't it. One deliberately misled people, but none of these chains have ever said that nothing bad happens when you eat a burger. They just point out that it has positive effects too (such as proteins), you'll never hear them say "don't eat our products or you'll get fat"...
Besides the meat fat in the fries was more a case of misleeading religious groups opposed to certain meat products...
Figures...surely not a man looking to make a name for himself.
Does any company actually publicise the downside of their products - effect on pollution, use of child labour etc?
Has he ever heard of consumer choice, do you think. Surely the onus is also on the purchaser to accept atht fatty foods will make you fat, just like cigarettes may cause cancer.
Partly becuase it would be cheaper than fight another frivolous lawsuit...

If this is the girl who was predicted an A in Latin and got an E, apparently the school's Latin teacher left, so they got some random other teacher who had done O-Level Latin about 50 years ago to teach her, and told her he was fully qualified........ Or something......... Or maybe she was just being stupid. I'm not sure.
