Lawsuit--Think they will win?

Hey All,

Thought I’d post a thread about "funniest or oddest" lawsuit claims. We’ve all heard at one time or another, how far someone would go to earn an extra buck or two. So, here’s your chance to post them up, so we can all have a good laugh.

Here’s your first

Apple Sued over iPod Hearing Loss
An iPod owner who says he suffered hearing loss as a result of the device filed a lawsuit against Apple in federal court earlier this week, and is seeking class action status. However, experts say the effort has little chance of success (who seems to think he’ll actually win?)
According to the suit, filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court in San Jose, iPods are "inherently defective in design and are not sufficiently adorned with adequate warnings regarding the likelihood of hearing loss." It asks the court to order Apple to pay compensation and make upgrades to the device to make it safer.

It should be illegal to make stupid lawsuits. It's not rocket science to figure out how to use the volume control when the music is so loud it causes pain. Muppet...

Seems like we expect businesses to protect us from our stupidity but then we complain when they cut into our freedom. Ya can't have it both ways...

He'll win.

If a bicycle co can be sued for not warning people to use lights at night then Apple is likewise screwed....

If McDonalds can loose over hot coffee and Anna Nichole gets to go the Supreme Court, anything is possible.

You won't believe This....

A California woman sued a grocery store after she dropped a six-pack of beer on her feet. The woman was not injured, but she said that it hurt. She won the lawsuit.

Do people really lack common sense nowadays? It's unfortunate that some people find lawsuits like this to be the only way to make money.

Something like this always reminds me of the fat person who sued a fast food restaurant claiming it was their fault. Or the lady who sued because she got hit by a train ... WHILE WALKING ON THE TRACKS.

About this story, I hope he won’t win, but he probably will.

Some people just deserve a good smack to the face.

This is why I will never move to the States. I'm not getting anywhere near a country that allows such idiocy. It's so petty with all these silly lawsuits. It wastes time and money that could have been spent otherwise. I really do think people should get fined for trying to file lawsuits like this.

It's the Lawyers' fault.

If the slimy bottom-feeders weren't so greedy coffin-chasing they'd grow a brain and tell the litigants to bugger off.

Jafo is summarily removed from the Law Society's Xmas list....

Got several lawsuits in mind.......

Gonna sue lil Johnny Howard for his exceedingly bushy eyebrows.....they make my eyes nervous so I end up with repetitive constant blinking and miss things I wanna see.

Gonna sue George W Bush cos his surname reminds me of Poison Ivy and I break out in an itching frenzy every time I see him on TV or hear his name.

Gonna sue the British Bulldog Spirit cos when I sink my teeth into something I just can't let go.

Gonna sue Microsoft for not making an idiot proof OS, cos of the many clean installs I've had to do for messing up XP

Gonna sue Wincustomize for the thousands of great skins on site, cos now there's too many to choose from and I'm unable to leave just one on my system for very long.

And lastly, I'm gonna sue my parents for the birth defect....the lunatic/idiocy gene that would cause me to think about such ridiculous lawsuits.

Oh yeah....and I'm gonna sue myself, cos now I've given myself a headache thinking about it all
