A New York City lawyer has filed suit against the four big fast food corporations, saying their fatty foods are responsible for his client

[eartotheground]

Yeah sure this lawsuit is ok ... just like the one where the lady sued temple university hospital because an MRI scan of her head robbed her of her psychic powers. She won of course.

[Corporate Law]

Stealing an analogy from Animal House, I guess fat and stupid IS a way to go through life. Another winner in the legal system lotto.

oh, for crying out loud

[mombonn]

Addicted to fast food???? "I'm a bad cook"???? These people have no shame.

[DJ MacWoW]

And these, um, ahem, mental midgets never saw the salads on the menus? They could always carry their lunch. Another get rich quick scheme. Pigs in more ways than one!

[Corporate Law]

"....I ate it more often than not because I was single, it was quick and I’m not a very good cook," Barber said in an interview with Foxnews.com.

Another poster child for the Democrats: "I am lazy and stupid, therefore someone owes me." They need to suspend the license of his pinhead lawyer as well.

The problem with these lawsuits is that they are going to seat some jackass jury, and they are going to award millions to this fat piece of s&*t because he can't walk by a french fry without inhaling it!

Is there another place other than New York to file these lawsuits? Plenty of jackasses there...

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

OBESE?No,try a fat as* tub of guts!

[pubmom]

I would like to know exactly what these individuals are doing to help themselves now. Are they exercising? Taking supplements? Have they stopped eating the fatty foods?

Personal responsibility is dead in America. Communisim has shown that collective responsibility brings only misery, but the trial lawyers are determined to drag us down that path.

[Sunshine Sister]

I think that if this dude doesn't want to die he should get off his butt and get to work on that body. What a surprise he will have when his time comes and he dies. Who's he gonna sue for that?

[GSWarrior]

Are we to be spared nothing?!

[LouD]

The lead plaintiff, 56-year-old maintenance supervisor Caesar Barber, ate at fast food restaurants four or five times a week and blames his fatty diet for his obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol and the two heart attacks he has suffered.

Ever hear of a gym, you fat f*&k? How about the word "moderation."

[maxwell]

IT FINALLY HAPPENED, FOLKS! LET THE GAMES BEGIN! I am definitively eating Mickey D's tonight. Double cheese burger. Off the dollar menu, so make it five.

[Chemist_Geek]

I guess fat and stupid IS a way to go through life.

With the correct jury, it's renumerative, anyway. Were't you the person who wrote that "The only difference between a civil courtroom and Las Vegas is the free drinks"? That sentiment is borne out again here...

[maxwell]

Eat yer fries while you still can, folks...

ONLY FOUR MORE SIGNS OF THE APOCALYPSE!

[Little Bush]

You're kidding??? McDonald's food is bad for you?

I wonder how long it will take for this Plaintiff to discover that red meat is not so good either. I wonder if that will bring a case against farmers, who will in turn bring a case against the government... the FDA!!

Of course everything causes cancer... my God, he could sue his mother... for having him and making him suffer so fatly... I mean badly!!

[SheLion]

"I got addicted to it," he said.

Food! We're talking FOOD here! FOOD!

[Retired Chemist]

Dennis Miller said this wouldn't happen until courts got drive through windows!

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

When are we going to sue the Caribou for surviving so well around the pipeline?
