Debate: who controled the super bowl tits?

[Peregrine]

Ok, so I live in an ideal world where justice is more than a nice word for the lawyers to get paid for and people are actually responsible for their own stupidity. Let me have my delusions!

 

 

But anyway, I think even our court system would throw out a lawsuit complaining that she revealed the truth if there was no contract preventing her from doing it.

Exactly, you can try to sue anyone you want. But if you sue without a justifiable case, you get your lawsuit dismissed.

 

Lol, that's funny. Let's recap 3 high profile lawsuits I can remember from the last 10 years that have won large settlements.

First, a woman got a cup of coffee at the McDonald's drivethru, placed it between her legs while she drove, had to hit the brakes too quickly, squished the cup and got a lap full of coffee. She then sued McDonald's saying the coffee was TOO HOT! and was awarded $3 million. All drivethru windows now have a sign warning that the coffee is served hot. (On a side note, I've done the identical same thing twice before she did, and never sued anyone..... I figgered it was my own fool fault for driving with a cup of coffee between my legs)

Second exhibit: A woman at a fast food restaurant(I forget which one) goes to the bathroom, places her feet on either side of the seat, squats to urinate, slips, falls, and breaks her arm. She sued on the grounds that the porcelain she was standing on was too slick to be safe. The restaurant's argument that it was meant to be sat on, not stood on, came to no avail, and the woman was awarded an amount in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Third exhibit: A man bought a brand new Winnebago motor home. On the way home, he got on the interstate, set the cruise control to 70 MPH, and went in the back to make a pot of coffee. The vehicle left the road and flipped before crashing. His suit was on the grounds that the manual didn't specifically say you couldn't leave the controls while on cruise control. He was awarded a brand new replacement motor home plus $1.75 million. The manual now carries a disclaimer that you cannot do this.

Obviously, you no longer have to have a justifiable case to win many in the American court system.

But that being said, I don't believe CBS or MTV knew about this stunt, simply because they know how much of a witch hunt the FCC is already on about the live broadcast shows, ever since that Hilton girl and Lionel Richie's daughter dropped a few F-bombs at a recent awards show(November, I think?), and there is no way that they would knowingly do something guaranteed to get them investigated and heavily fined. If there's anything Hollywood executives know how to do, it's to cover their assets.

very good examples. I think this proves my point of suing for anything.
