Before you ask, the answer is no, they aren't any.

"When I raised the drink to my mouth, the lid flew off and the entire contents spewed out, whereby I was scalded by the hot chocolate from the center of my breasts down to my navel," Corbin, who is representing herself, wrote in a statement of claim.

No need to go farther than this. Nobody tips a container upside down to take a sip of a hot drink. They tilt the container just enough to take a sip. The idea that the whole contents came flowing out when the lid popped off is unbelievable.

Personal responsibility, huh? not in Canada, our brethren to the North think that mama government needs to take care of them. And if they do something STUPID, it CAN'T be THIER fault.

Once personal responsibility is gone, the country is not far behind, and I put the US right in there too.

Just when we idiot-proofed it, God made a bigger idiot.

She says her husband bought some salve that she applied to her burns for five days, allowing her skin to heal without blistering or scarring.

Right...

Oh dear, I am afraid that we will have to examine the evidence VERY carefully....

Tiger Balm? Who told you to use Tiger Balm? Did I tell you to use Tiger Balm?

Pardon me, I just had a Seinfeld moment.

Since the original "burned by hot coffee suit", Mac D's seems to have adjusted the coffee temps so that you don't get burned to bad.

On the other hand, Chick-Fila, now their coffee is so hot it will practially melt the cup. I think its just a matter of time before they get sued by some burn breasted person.

I thought the hot chocolate was for drinking, not for pouring on her breasts? Does she walk and chew gum at the same time?

I'm sure she'll win the case. Much more of this, and you won't be able to buy a hot cup of coffee or cocoa anywhere in the Western Hemisphere. Thank you, tort lawyers.

"Did I tell you to put on a salve? Who told you to put on a salve? Do you even know what a salve is?"

Xinhua news agency? What the heck is that? But I digress. When you think just how sleazy personal injury lawyers are, and then realize that - it appears - not a single one was willing to take this case, and now she of the toasted tatas has to represent herself, it's almost hard to believe. Just imagine - a case so stupid that a personal injury lawyer wouldn't take it. Wow.

Will hot chocolate containers in Canada say:

"WARNING! CONTENTS OF CONTAINER ARE EXTREMELY HOT. DO NOT DIP BREASTS IN CONTENTS OF CONTAINER!"
