this has to be the most pathetic thing i've read all year:

An American woman has filed a lawsuit demanding billions of dollars in compensation for "serious injury" suffered when Janet Jackson exposed her breast on television.

Bank worker Terri Carlin is demanding compensation for herself and millions of other viewers who were watching last Sunday's Super Bowl.

serious injury, my arse. looking to make some money, more like.

people like this make me sick.

"The injuries suffered by Ms Carlin are not specified."

'Absence of brain' comes to mind. Christ, what a pathetic creature.

Just another example of our legal system going haywire. We are a very litigious society. It all comes from greed. That women needs to get a life. We need legal reforms yesterday!

[ghost_flash]

Wasn't there some lawyer down south suing
on behalf of everyone?

Something in the neighborhood of 1 billion?

- Count me in on some of that! I was
deeply moove... offended I mean, Yah!

I got my wee-wee caugth in my zipper!
They owe me!

We are a very litigous society. Boy, isn't
that a two dollar word!

[gorickey]

I want to sue for not seeing the full breast...I got ripped off and am now suffering from "Fully Naked Breast" syndrome...

Yeah. I also want to sue whoever made up the term boob tube for false advertising.

That woman is one.

The Smoking Gun is all over it. Anyone care to call the Atty and let him know how much of an asshat he is?

What's funny is that he fails to really set forth any cause of action. A mistake that will get his complaint tossed in the round file rather quickly I think.

/works in law office.

Another good example of where a "loser pays" system would be great in this country....

She never would have filed this stupid lawsuit, if she thought that she'd have to pay all court costs involved. Also, make the lawyer accepting/filing this case pay part of the court costs. This would prevent many of these frivolous suits from clogging our courts and costing the people.

Loser Pays is a horrible idea.

Nobody would go after large companies that are really doing evil things.

Name one that isn't!

I was watching Biography this morning and
they had "Donald Rumsfeld" as the topic.

He was CEO of some corporation that he
cut to the bone and raised stock value so
it could be bought out by Monsanto, another
Pharmaceutical corporation, so he could then
get some 13 million dollars...

BTW: Monsanto was just found to have been
leaking toxic waste into a local waterhole
in a small town causing serious damages.

Nice.

There is so much more I am learning every
day that it is making me quite upset about
the current climate that many corporations
are getting off way too easy.

I'm inclined to believe there are many more
corporations or corporate executives that
are fleecing the little guy for the sake of
a nice golden parachute, and money for
some stockholder "FRIENDS" of theirs.

Can you say, cosey retirement, and no
severence for those CUT by these thieves?

-Just sick.

[Sherwin]

Is this lawsuit going to be an international one? 'Coz you know I watched the SuperBowl and found myself subject to serious injury too.
I now need at least $50m to cover doctors' fees.

[Millennium]

Injury? What? Was her self-esteem injured because Jackson's are bigger or something?

Seriously. I don't think what happened was appropriate for the Super Bowl, but this is just frickin' ridiculous.

[KeyLimePi]

Oh right. She's suing because there was a breast on TV for two seconds and yet no one got sued for airing six episodes of Emeril.

[SeSawaya]

I actually LISTENED to Justin and janet "sing". I'm sueing for billions!!!!

[starman]

I'm distraught over this lawsuit. Can I sue? .

Mike

[quandarry]

i should sue for pain and suffering for having to watch timberlake.

[starman]

If I were to sue for pain and suffering, I would have sued the Lounge for bad Photoshop hacks over the years .

Mike

[chris v]

So. does she sue herself every time she gets a glimpse of herself in the bathroom mirror?

What. The. ****?

I should have clarified - Loser pays if the case is thrown out of court due to frivolity.

You can still go after the big guys for the "evil things".

But this would likely slow down people going after the "big pockets" of corporations for trumped up suits, like this.

[RooneyX]

That stoopid nipple thing was a ninja star. They can kill.

[Spheric Harlot]

I was severely shocked to find actual images from the SuperBowl show and the exposed breast embedded in a thread on this board, that I unwittingly clicked on.

I will be suing MacNN for damages and mental pain.

[d4nth3m4n]

just another case of someone seeing a bullsh.t lawsuit as another lottery ticket- with better odds

can we spam her email like that kid with the g5-> dell hoax? please please?

She took some of the magic Pixie dust and was standing on stage invisible when it happened. The force of the boob popping out and hitting her in the head knocked her out.

Anyways, personally, I'd disbar the lawyer representing her if I could, for taking advantage of the mentally incapacitated.

[Lateralus]

An American woman

Did they even need to point that out?

[ghost_flash]

The first thing I thought of was Clinton
when I read this topic.

I thought, she finally sued him, or her.
Whatever.

Actually, to a certain extent this already exists. The lawyer who took the case can be slapped with sanctions. FRCP Rule 11

At the very least, he's in for a wicked tongue lashing from the judge for wasting the court's time.

..and you go to jail for touching them.

I had been staring at it so long I crashed my car and killed a dog.

[talisker]

Why not do like here in NZ? No suing. None. If you actually get an actual injury you are compensated out of a government run fund that everyone pays into, but only enough to cover your actual medical fees. Anything else, f*ck off and grow up. Mind you, I suppose having all the f*ckwits in the world concentrated in one country isnt a bad thing. A bit like bees in a honeypot.

A nice highlight for these of you not lucky enough to have time to waste reading the whole thing

"...because the defendants knew the Super Bowl halftime show would have a worldwide audience and knew that for much of the world, these events would reflect the standards and the reputation of Americans abroad, plaintiff and the members of the plaintiff class have been defamed by the defendants and have suffered injuries and damages to their reputation as Americans ......" (emphasis mine)



Its GOT TO BE A HOAX!!!!

[macvillage.net]

What's even more fun, is that she will most likely get something by settling out of court.

[TheMosco]

While it might not have been appropriate for the half time show, if this bothered you for more than 2 minutes, you need help.

She's most likely a deeply repressed lesbian.

That sadly is what the whole lawsuit is about. Its the lawyer that will gain all the money. We will end of paying for ti in the end, just like always.

[gadster]

You Americans, you should get out more. Yes you should.

HAS THIS WOMAN NOT ALREADY NOTICED HER OWN F�CKEN TITS?? I mean, really, what a ****.

Here's a crazy idea, how's about y'all get out there and VOTE one day? Could be fun!

Whacky concept, I know, but you could make a day of it. Go crazy! Vote away.

It's easy, it's like picking things off a menu. Seriously, it's that easy. And it's fun, really. It's like Disneyworld. A bit. It's all clowns and happy faces. And not a 'bulge' in sight.

[Eriamjh]

Lawsuit dropped.
