Woman Sues Cap'n Crunch For Tricking Her

I think you could only really call it a business in the US. I never hear these kinds of absurd stories about courts in other countries. What does that say about the legal system, really?

Maybe the people more than the legal system.

^ I think it's already been mentioned up there somewhere but people see it as an easy pass out of whatever life they're currently living. Take a risk and if it pays off, reap the rewards. If it doesn't pay off, find something else incredivly lame to sue over. Rinse and repeat until you win.

It happens. It's despicable, but it's also 100% legal and an essential freedom. Those are the same kind of people who may deliberately slam on the breaks to try and get you to rear end them whilst driving a vehicle. Why? Because if a collision occurs and you rear-end someone, they've basically won the suing right there. Game over. (This is not the case for other types of collisions.)

We will always have bad people who try to abuse the system, sadly.
 
ROFL. I mean, some people are seriously too stupid... It's like suing McDonald's because their food makes you fat, or somethin' like that.

... Wait, didn't that actually happen?
 
There should be a federal law that assesses a fine based on the amount you sue for if the court finds your suit to be frivolous.
 
I'd like to point out this isn't something endemic to the US and the US alone. The mayor of Batman, Turkey sued Warner Brother and Christopher Noland over the Dark Knight because he said it caused an increase in violence.

Not a punitive fine, but paying the other side's legal fees. It's called tort reform, and us conservatives support it.
