Somebody Was Embracing Ingenuity, But It Sure Wasn’t Bank Of America

This is the best thing ever. Bank of America tries to foreclose on your home. You owe Bank of America 0 dollars and in fact never have owed them more than that because you paid for the house outright. The case goes to court, where you easily win. Bank of America is ordered to pay …

Can I Use This Title Without Paying Somebody?

This is the kind of stupid crap that makes me never again want to buy anything with electronics in it. If you can read 10 physical gestures that have been patented and then explain to me how the world’s patent systems aren’t broken perhaps beyond repair, I’ll buy you a beer. Honestly, I will…on one …

Rubba Dub Dub, Sexual Abuse In The Tub?

I always thought that social service agencies were supposed to look out for the welfare of children. After stories like this, I have to question what their mission is. A Swedish woman was separated from her husband, but they shared custody of their two small children. After a few months, the woman started to notice …

Hey Hey! Ho Ho! Come On Rapist, Make That Throw!

I don’t recall either of us writing about this case before, perhaps because in a moment of foolishness on our parts, we figured that the girl winning would be a slam dunk. But of course, as happens so often when something makes perfect sense and there’s no other answer but the one you’d think there’d …

A Horse Is A Horse, So It’s Not A Big Deal If You Lose Your Arm In One

I love and hate lawyers for exactly the same reason. They’re willing to say any fucking thing no matter how ridiculous it sounds. Most of the time it’s completely infuriating, but other times the shit that comes out of their mouthes is so entertaining that it’s hard to stay angry for long. On this day, …

It’s Bath Fittings, Not Baptism

If all this is true, which it probably is since this woman’s lawyer has more clients saying the same thing, this Bath Fitter franchise is messed up, and needs to learn a few lessons. Jo A. Yochum says that she began working for this bath fitting franchise, and had to pay $90000 for the training …

The Unthinkable Was Certainly Not Untried

In the 1950’s, lots of attrocities happened at residential schools. According to this class action lawsuit, W. Ross Macdonald was not immune. If all of this stuff went down the way they say it did, somebody needs to pay, and in a perfect world, I’d like to see some folks go to jail, even though …

Some More People On That Bus With Tim McLean Want Heads To Roll

You know, when I said that the McLean family suing everyone related to the Greyhound stabbing was a little ridiculous, I had no idea that a more ridiculous lawsuit was possible. Now, I know. Two women who were on the bus when the incident happened have decided that they need to sue the exact same …

Another Update To The Wendy Portillo Story

Somehow, I missed a development in the Wendy Portillo saga. The mom of Alex Barton, the kid that got voted out of kindergarten, sued the schoolboard and had to take a settlement. $300000 doesn’t seem like nearly enough punishment for what that teacher did. But I guess this will be the real end to the …

Fountain Of Stupid

We now have a name for the texting chick who fell into the fountain. It’s Cathy A. Cruz Marrero, and she’s suing the mall security for releasing her video to YouTube. The funny part is she would have been completely unidentifiable from the video, but she started demanding apologies and suing over it. But she …
