I don't want you Freepers to make any cheeky, half-a$$ed, wise cracks about this stupid woman's war wound.

The Dallas Cowboys are being put on the hot seat for literally having one.
Jennelle Carrillo, who lives in Cleburne, is suing the Cowboys and team owner Jerry Jones for the third-degree burns she suffered on her buttocks after sitting on a black, marble bench at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium two years ago while waiting for the debut Blue & Silver scrimmage.
Carrillo was hospitalized and had to have skin grafts on her derriere, according to a lawsuit filed in Tarrant County civil court late last week.
"It was hot enough to produce third-degree burns through her clothing that day," said Mike Wash, the Austin attorney representing Carrillo. "She did not stay for the scrimmage. I'm surprised there aren't more reports of burn injuries from sitting on those dark, black benches."

In her lawsuit, Carrillo contends that Cowboys Stadium officials didn't warn her or others about the dangers of sitting on the uncovered bench in the hot summer sun.
"No signs were posted at or near the bench warning that it was too hot to sit on nor was the bench roped off to prevent persons from sitting on it," the lawsuit states.
Wash said he didn't know how long Carrillo sat on the bench, but when she got up to use the restroom, she discovered her burns.

Because of her bench warming experience, Carrillo has suffered mental anguish, physical pain, and disfigurement, according to the suit.

Sounds like she wants her some glory hole.
This thread should be an interesting read in about another 30 minutes.....
can they sue her for a lack of common sense? although maybe white marble would be more humane.
Third degree is charring. How is that possible? How is it possible to sit still long enough for that to happen through clothing, even if it is possible?
Would we be saying these things if had been a white marble bench??
Patriot fans have a few things to feed our humility perhaps but generally we know enough to move away from a seat that is giving us third degree burns.
Personally I wish her luck.
Jerry’s old house was one of the worst stadiums I have ever been to.
His new house is such a rip off I refuse to visit.
“Caution. Objects on rear may be hotter than they appear.”
Do you know what really burns my ass?
A small fire about two and a half feet high..
Q. Any of you Freepers know how the Royal Idiot is like that bench at Cowboy Stadium?
A. They both tend to burn your butt.
Well, watching the Cowboys implode the last decade has burned my butt too.
Uh....uh... she was waiting and DE BUT got burned.
That was my first thought, too.
At least the lady who sued McDonald’s over her hot coffee knew that she was burned as soon as it spilled. How on earth you could sit still long enough to get a third degree burn from the seat you are on is really hard to imagine.
Stupid never ceases to amuse me....
Having been to Cowboys Stadium twice, I’d like to know where the black marble benches are. If the scrimmage was held in the stadium in July or August, Jerry would have had the roof closed. Texas heat, being what it is, would dictate that. Even if the benches were on the end zone to the left of the Cowboys bench, the sunlight still wouldn’t be hot enough to cause the alleged third degree burns. There is simply no way for that to happen under those conditions. Secondly, Cowboys Stadium is air conditioned. That would lower the heat on those seats. The seats would be warm but not scorching. I would just like to know where these benches were located if they don’t fit the scenario I outlined.
This lady is after a huge chunk of change. What better way to get it than to sue America’s Team and its owner. Jerry has some cracker jack lawyers and will win this even though he’ll end up letting lose of some cash.
Her reparations would be guaranteed and trebled by the Injustice Dept...
Attorney Wash: “... I’m surprised there aren’t more reports of burn injuries from sitting on those dark, black benches.”

Maybe they realized the bench was HOT and got up.

Client-to-be Carillo on bench: How long do I have to set here, burning my buns, until I can sue and get lots of money?
