Speaking of being sued and copyright…I recently wrote an article for Dr. Barb DeSanto’s class about Dr. Mark Lombardi (Maryville President) being sued by his former employer.
First off, I used the word “scandal” in my article and Dr. Barb informed me that I could be sued just for using that word.
I think it’s stupid that everything you say or do in everyday life can get you sued and paying fines and going to jail. I agree with Kim, I think it’s starting to become ridiculous what people are getting in trouble for these days. Kim talked about how Disney sued that daycare because they had Disney characters on the wall, I think that’s outrageous. Disney clearly has enough money, so why sue a small day care center over something that silly?
I googled on the internet just to see what kinds of stupid things people and companies sue each other over. Here’s a few interesting ones I found…An iPod user sued Apple over hearing loss…A man sued his church after his house was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo and was called “An Act of God”…People suing McDonald’s because it made them fat…A man was arrested, while in jail he sued himself for the stupidity of doing the crime and allowing himself to get arrested. He sued himself for 5 million dollars.
Since he was a ward of the state, he asked that the state pay the 5 million on his behalf…A woman bought coffee at McDonald’s, spilled it on herself and burned herself, she sued McDonald’s…
Has America become “sue happy”? YES. YES. YES. People need to quit being lazy, get decent jobs and quit blaming others for stupid things and trying to sue them and get money that way.
