Looks like the RIAA might be watching you. ;)

These are hilarious...
PS: I don't know about other countries, but in America, everyone of those people would be awarded a huge settlement for "emotional distress".

when people outside the US say 'only in America' they are refering to situations like this.

Someone told me the other day that a Winabago driver in the US had successfully sued them after he turned on the autocruise and went in the back to make a cup of coffee.... obviously he crashed and sustained injuries! But he sued them because it didn't state anywhere that autocruise didn't actually drive for you!!??... thats not a real story is it?

Apparently not...
For instance, in February last year, the Weirton Daily Times in Weirton, W. Va., published an editorial supporting tort reform and blaming juries for outrageous decisions in frivolous lawsuits. Among the examples was the story of an Oklahoma man who put his Winnebago on cruise control at 70 mph and "calmly left the driver's seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee." Naturally, after the crash, the man sued Winnebago for not advising him of the dangers of cruise control. A jury awarded the man $1.75 million and a new motor home, the paper said. But it turned out that every one of the lawsuits mentioned in the Daily Times editorial stemmed from an anonymous email and was fiction.

...but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty that are real.

awww damn... that was such a funny story..

When I get time I will tell you the story about an ex college that got his penis trapped in a letter box. But for now I am gonna return to the football!

The idea of a penis in a mailbox makes me cringe. Being an American, I may just sue you for emotional distress. What's your full name and how much money do you have? :D

That cruise control story was around in the 70s or early 80s when it was just becoming available.

I know many hardcore-Mac users who disagreed with Apple's move to Intel chips, and though I disagree with the message of the video, I did find it mildly humorous.

I saw this on revver and can't figure if its fake or not. It looks like its from the 50s but I never heard of the brand. Kinda funny, actually.
