What Took So Long?...

"Victim's kin file suit in Wal-Mart stampede death"

I was beginning to think that the bloodsucking vampire lawyers were all safely sleeping in their dirt filled coffins in the basements of their tree lined McMansion subdivisions before I read this one.

Thank God opportunity strikes! And at Wal-Mart no less.

Well, I'm actually not surprised that they were going to sue but I am surprised it took so long for them to file the lawsuit. 3 business days! I mean Christmas is fast approaching and you'd think they'd want that Wal-Mart money AT LEAST before the end of this week to get that Wii game system or new flat screen LCD TV. Because you know, they'll be all sold out before the 25th...

I don't get why they are suing the police department though. It's not like it's their job to "police" the doorways of every retail store giving away free toasters or kitty litter with every $100.00 in purchases. You'd think the managers of said stores would somehow herd the crowd in some form BEFORE the doors are opened, but, alas this happens every year.

Next year I'm taking bets on which store will have the first casualty. I'm placing mine on Fashion Bug, the store for "Rubenesque" or zoftig women...

WAH!

"Devout Muslim sues Tesco for making him carry alcohol"

This douchebag needs to get a clue. At this point it doesn't surprise me what these so called "devout" religious donuts will sue for or protest at. And I'm not just talking about Muslims. It's basically all of them: Christians, Catholics, Scientologists, whatever. Unbelievable...

How in the world can you not know what in the hell your grocery employer sells? If you are stocking and moving freight, wouldn't you have the fucking sense to look around and see where you are putting that shit?

"Mr Ahmed, of Derby, who is suing the firm for racial discrimination, victimisation and harassment, should learn the outcome of the case later this week. "

So typical. I suppose the next thing he will sue for is the fact that they made him walk down the same aisle where the bacon was kept. And let's not stop there. How about having to use the same restroom that someone who drank alcohol and maybe ate a ham sandwich used previously, therefore, contaminating him and forcing him to endure undo persecution from pork and hops cooties scarring him for life leaving him unable to perform daily functions in a religiously healthy productive way.

I smell a rat and he is probably looking for a nice payout. He sounds like a lazy ass.

Tom Is Going To Be Pissed...

"Scientologists charged with fraud in France"

Is this a surprise to anyone with half a brain?

For starters, if your being recruited for a "church" outside of a train station, or any other station for that matter (bus, train, gas, TV, hot dog...) then the zealots that are hounding you are probably crazy and full of shit. If said zealots are trying to sell you something then add shady to that list. God, or any other deity, doesn't want your money - he/she wants your soul. It's that simple.

These Scientologists are a scary species no doubt. It seems that they prey on the weak minded and after they have conquered your mind they go for your wallet. Any industry that makes you pay in order to "move up through the ranks" is either a scam (remember Amway?) or a higher learning institution. The only other place I have been financially raped and sodomized is college and the hell if I'm going to let a space alien do that to me as well!

What exactly is this religion about anyway. As far as I understand, you have to pay a certain amount of money to reach different plateaus of enlightenment within the organization and then you have to aggressively recruit other members in conjunction with the money you are shelling out so they can "donate" as well. The more money these people bring in under you, the higher you go. Sounds like a fucking pyramid scheme to me.

I watched the videos Toad Cruise made to entice other people to join and he seemed to be somewhat, okay who am I kidding, A LOT deluded and really creepy weird. Anyone who is prone to sudden fits of maniacal laughter followed by a dead stare into your eyes is not well. I'm just saying...Anyway I digress...The mere act of viewing these videos turned me off to the program. Besides the test to get in was way too long, so I gave up around question 25...

Memories...

"Teen Sues Teacher for Calling Her Ugly"

Ah, the joys of high school...

I would love to see a picture of this kid. Perhaps she is ugly and a singing telegram might not be the best occupation for her. And she may also be a brat or trouble maker as the teacher so eloquently put it.

Then again the teacher might be a total asshole. You never know. I'd love to see what really happened and what led up to the incident...

"I'm Not Lovin' It: Hearing Impaired Woman Sues McDonald's Over Refusal to Use Drive-Thru"

Another frivolous lawsuit...

Well, this one is so ridiculous I don't know where to start first of all, if you are feeding your kids fucking fast food all the time you need to be slapped upside the head.

The article states that on 3 occasions this particular Mickey D's did not "accommodate" her and "Other McDonald's restaurants in Lincoln have accommodated Tumeh, Mora James said." She also states that "other drive-thru, fast-food restaurants have a policy to allow deaf and hard-of-hearing people to order at the drive-thru window.", implying that she has been through these before and has first hand knowledge of their practices. Stay at home and cook a healthy meal for your autistic children you idiot. I go to McDonalds probably 3 times a year and that's out of sheer desperation for leaving my lunch at home or having been forced to while traveling...

Secondly, if your too lazy to get the fuck out of the car and go inside, regardless of your children's issues, then again STAY HOME! Why should the rest of society cow toe to you because you got dealt some shitty cards in the game of life? Recent studies have shown a child's nutritional intake can affect their physical and mental state and may lead to things such as autism. How about spending time researching your child's issues instead of wasting time suing others over stupid shit.

Here's the reason why they won't let her order at the window. When you place an order at a drive-thru, your order is automatically put in a queue and made in the order that they are placed. In theory, if you are the 3rd person in a line your order will be made third. This helps the employee keep track of who has what and keeps the line moving.

If you order at the window, this fucks up the whole queue and then your order has to be put in front of all the rest and, in essence, the rest of the people's food, which may or may not be on the grill at that time (ready to come off) will get cold leading to complaints and orders having to be remade. What does this equal?- Wasted food, as those items will get trashed because they are not up to standard and will also lead to wasted profits as the money spent on that order is literally "thrown away" and more money wasted as new product has to be used. Not to mention, you have basically caused everyone behind you to wait longer because your ass had to order at the window and couldn't just walk in, basically defeating the purpose of a "FAST FOOD DRIVE-THRU". Hence the term FAST...

Also, if the other Mikey D's accommodated her, I would like to know at what time of the day was that specifically? How many cars were there in line? How many orders were there at the time? If there were none, it wouldn't be a problem. Also, at what locations? Some locations have less business than others and can be far less busy and have the time to do so for the deaf woman.

McDonalds theoretically could have helped her but the question is at what cost would that have been to do so? I see 2 solutions to this issue if you absolutely HAVE TO go to Mc's to feed your kids:

1) Write the order down before you go to the restaurant and walk in and give it to the cashier at the front counter. This speeds up the order process for both of you and you spend less time having to wrangle your kids up at the counter. You can sit and wait while the order is being processed and everyone's happy.

2) If you absolutely have to order at the window, do so and you'll have to park your ass in a parking space and wait while that order comes up in the system. That way people behind you are still getting theirs made in a timely fashion and able to physically receive those orders in the window and wouldn't have to wait while your is being processed while their Big Macs are sitting in a bag waiting for you to move your ass from the window. I'm sure they probably gave her this option and it would be interesting to see if she turned that down and refused to park.

Either way, it's a stupid lawsuit. The next thing that will happen is that restaurants will get sued for not having someone at the window who understands every fucking foreign language thereby making the ordering process racist and exclusionary...
