I want to sue Megan Fox for being too hot. She gives me complex. I suffer mental anguish because my boyfriend has a picture of her in his bedroom.

Spare me!!!!!!  This sound like the old woman who burned herself with her McDonald's coffee and won.  What a crock considering there was a warning on the beverage!?!?!  Starbuck's & McDonald's should sue them for being idiot's!

Wow, what a moron...... NEWS FLASH!! Tea and coffee generally HOT beverages! Operator error, not Starbucks' fault!! It's like making a baby bottle and not testing it and burning the baby, whose fault is that? People need to take responsibility for their OWN actions. We are a sue happy nation, and this is sad.

Come on. What a bonehead. This has got to be another one of the most stupidist people in AMERICA. Lots of people have turned to sueing to get money now days. When are the courts going to wake up and counter sue this idiots for doing this crapp. Hello, If its that hot. DON'T drink it. Let it cool down. With a name like that. Its seems like she don't belong in the US anyways. AMERICA should not have to pay people for being STUPID....

It seems that no one ever wants to take responsibility for their own actions anymore. If one spills a hot drink on themselves, it's not their fault. Shows have to say "don't try this at home", because, inevitably, some idiot will otherwise hurt themselves and, you guessed it, it's not their fault. Once upon a time people took responsibility for their own actions and the consequences thereof. Now people just sue, not accepting fault and trying to make a fast buck as a result of any negligence or idiocy on there part. And believe me, Lawyers love you for this. It pays their bills and makes them lots of money. But be warned, if they don't do the same for you, that's not their fault either.
