AND they knew the machines were making coffee that was dangerously hot but elected to settle individual lawsuits rather than go to the expense of modifying all the machines (the old ones couldn’t even be adjusted, they just squired out scalding-hot coffee). That verdict was meant to send the “Enough!” message (which…

Curious if this would apply to disappointment over any scene cut from a movie between trailer and final release. I mean this happens with almost every trailer since movies are edited right up to distribution.

It’s like any other amusing warning or disclaimer out there that is clearly the result of some absurd complaint or litigation. I have a sealed storge tub with a sticker on the side warning you off of storing your children in it.

The girl actress looks to be having a blast, at least.

Karloff does not deserve to smell my shit!

Running a side hustle like that would definitely be a public nuisance so I can understand it. One dude selling a truck is a different animal.

Oh I know. Specifics of this case aside, legal action is the default course because otherwise you’re ignored. But our system allows anyone to sue for anything with no penalty for absurdity so it’s hard to not make fun of some of the lawsuits you read about.

Hey those legal theories aren’t going to write themselves!

Perhaps in Mayberry, but Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio are a bit big to operate that way.

Yeah seems like the thing to do would have been going after 1991 guy for running an unlicensed car lot out of his garage and front yard. 

We have met the enemy, gentlemen, and it is ourselves.

Force majeure covers mechanical failures?  The ship wasn’t blown into the bridge by unexpected hurricane-force winds.

Seems like they would have to ticket every work vehicle on the road that had a phone number advertised on the side. Isn’t that “using the streets for commercial purposes?”

I can understand not wanting parking lots filling up with people trying to privately sell their cars, but if the vehicle is on private property or in a public parking area I don’t see what the big deal is. Sounds like this was in reaction to a specific situation 30 years ago, making the ordinance more of a reminder to…

Cheers!

The were too busy proving they could to stop and ask whether they should.

Word is he can do a double barrel-roll on a wakeboard.  

Same with Usual Suspects. He turned out to be the big bad, so it’s okay to like the movie!

Ah, The Mist. Most unnecessarily downer ending maybe ever. Even King was like “damn...”

I’d like the civil penalty to be each complainant gets one shot of beer for each 24 oz cup ordered.  Lawyers get a couple of kegs.
