Just about anybody can be sued for just about anything.

UM...who drove them to the REDBOX??? Or...don’t they have a friend or relative they could get to get the movies...sheesh...this is ridiculous!

[P-Marlowe]

The Americans with Disabilities act was signed and promoted by George Bush I.

[Bobalu]

This is silly.
The person that took them to the store can get a film for them.

[Jonty30]

They’ve never heard of Netflix?

[Orange1998]

I guess this explains why brail is on ATM, still don’t see how they count the money.

[Vendome]

Can’t see their point.

[KoRn]

THIS is yet another example of why our country is going into the shitter! Garbage like this shouldn’t be allowed to even see the light of day in a courtroom, but judges allow it.

When I was in Car Rental, we had to have a process in place to rent cars to BLIND PEOPLE. In my state, blind people can’t get a drivers license.

But, we’d still have “Blind People” who worked for attorneys trying to rent cars, and be denied, so they could sue us.

The ADA is one of the BIGGEST scams going.

Enrolling in law school should be a capital offense.

[Orange1998]

But they sure can find a lawyer. Next you know they will be suing Apple for no tactile keys. I really feel sorry for the blind but this is pushing the envelope.

Until you, like, ya know, actually need one of those students.

It’s nonsense for them to clutter up the legal system with this sort of crap as long as there are worthier causes.

Thats easy,

$100 bills feel newer and less folded with a hint of leather

$50 bills have multiple fold grooves with a hint of pot and channel

$20 bills are usually triple folded and smell of Dennys, Mcdonalds, and booze

$10s feel slightly crinkled and smell like the mall

$5s are flimsy, worn, and smell of pencils, erasers, and cafeteria food

$1s are infamous for feeling greasy and smelling of underwear,
and when licked can cause hallucinations and vomiting

Oh, and $3 bills talk funny.

What next, Coke machines owners being sued?

[JennysCool]

I’m not hiring one that goes after video companies for not kowtowing to the blind. There comes a time when ANY trade overreaches. I remember a time when lawyers were supposedly so honorable they were prevented from advertising. Now all I see on the tube are amateurish, mawkish, lawyer advertisements. The profession has jumped a seaful of sharks.

[dfwgator]

Isn’t this like deaf people suing radio stations?

[Orange1998]

That is funny!!!! LOL

[Orange1998]

Yup and Blind people suing GM for not having operator friendly cars.

The profession has jumped a seaful of sharks.Why would lawyers have to jump the sharks, the sharks won't eat them.....professional courtesy.
