A lawyer had to agree to take the lawsuit, blame them as well. This is one of the many reasons why everyone hates lawyers

We're not all bad.

Actually, a person can bring a suit per se, and there was no mention of an attorney. Not only that, there was no record of a suit found either.

No, not all, just 99% of the trial lawyers, medical malpractice & personal injury lawyers. Yet, I bet some lawyer will take it.

Why do you have to bring race into this? How do we know he's white? He could be off-white or non-white trash. DA Cracker Anti-Defamation League
Because only a stupid white person from Wisconson would sue for something like this.

OK... so are you saying that everyone in Wizzleconsizzle is a cracker? You straight trippin', beeeeyatch.

I was in Wisconson once for the College National Curling Championships and I can easily say.. yes, there are all crackers.

Maybe that is how that 700+ lb. woman got to be that big. She was from WI, right? Does she have Charter Cable?

I smell class action :D
I just got charter cable for internet. Hopefully I can get a piece of the pie too! I will first sue charter for not being available when we moved here and me having to use antenna for tv.

I think we should start suing people for having stupid lawsuits because reading abotu them gives us mental anger.

Yeah, but that way he can't sue the ISP a year down the line when his wife gains another 50 lbs and his kids become addicted to German Schizer videos.

*Reads the article* Good gawd!! Only in America would a man sue for having been given 4 years of free cable TV!! And for being stupid enough not to take a pair of wirecutters and solve the problem himself. I WAS going to say that if I was the company I would cut off his service immediately, but now I'd leave it on in the hope these people see something stupid on TV to immitate and remove themselves from the gene pool.

-- Jack

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
