I didn’t know Netflix got sued until I received a case settlement email from the company. Apparently, Netflix was sued by lying about “unlimited rental” and “one day delivery promise” in the marketing materials. The case is now settled and you can read about the benefits you can collect if you signed up before Jan 15, 2005.
I will not collect the benefits simply because I don’t think Netflix can do anything better than what they have been doing. You get “unlimited rental” as long as you sign up for their 2 or 3 DVD program and it is a one day delivery service in most of the metro areas.
I think this country has gone mad when it comes to lawsuit. “Just sue it” was printed on Tulane University’s Law school T-shirt a few years back when I visited the campus. Everybody can get sued by virtually doing or saying anything. If some people don’t like the way you look, they can sue you for “public appearance disturbance” and ask you to pay for their mental damage.
Just over a year ago, some students made cookies for the neighbors. They unfortunately rang the door bell of a professional suer’s house and got sued for scaring her. I don’t remember the details, but the students were fined around 900 bucks for the hospital fees the bitch claimed that she had spend on “calming down”.
If there are people who work full time to figure out the lottery wining algorithms, I am sure there are people out there who are doing absolutely noting but trying to figure out how to screw other people for money. Sick bastards!
Update:
Coincidentally, RJ pinged me this morning and sent me a story happened a few miles away from me. A home depot shopper sued Home Depot after he got stuck to a restroom toilet seat because a prankster had smeared it with glue.
Bob Dougherty, 57, accused employees of ignoring his cries for help for about 15 minutes because they thought he was kidding. …This is not Home Depot’s fault,” Dougherty said. “But I am blaming them for letting me hang in there and just ignoring me.”
Here is the full story.

Hey, that sounds like a Jackel song, “just sue it, sue it, sue it, sue it; no one should be let off easy; show’in how greedy and sly is your fight; it doesn’t matter who’s true and who lie; just sue it”. Now I just need some beats, help me out here Yuna.

I didnt like the way you write, and this post makes me sick, it caused me mental damage
should I sue it ? lol
that’s why it’s important to find jobs for jobless, find solution for poverty, … not to be a good person, but if we don’t we should accept the consequences.
