Federal judge throws out lawsuit against McDonald's http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...&e=1&u=/nm/20030122/ts_nm/food_mcdonalds_dc_5 I love that "McLawsuits" line by the judge...Hmmm, perhaps these people need to take up smoking?? They're getting billions...
see..sometimes the courts get it right...i particularly liked this: "If consumers know...the potential ill health effect of eating at McDonald's, they cannot blame McDonald's if they, nonetheless, choose to satiate their appetite with a surfeit of supersized McDonald's products." justice. except this should be called a friviolous lawsuit, and the plaintiffs ought to have to pay for McDonald's legal fees to this point.
The first tobacco lawsuits were thrown out as well. I fear that the fast food lawsuit will be revisited. What a screwed up time we live in.
The plaintiff included a 14-year old 4'10", 170 lb girl? Someone sue that mom for child neglect ASAP!
No joke. Seriously, she's like 15 inches shorter and 15 pounds heavier than me! I'd be scared to meet her in a dark alley. I picture the newly rotund Webster from "Surreal Life"
