Lawsuit Mania

Steve Bainbridge tries to imagine the legal climate that would have followed if Judge Roy Pearson had actually won his $54 million case against a dry cleaner who had posted a “Satisfaction Guaranteed” sign and yet not satisfied him.

  • Run into a grumpy flight attendant on United, sue because you didn’t experience the “Friendly Skies”
  • Disappointed to find only gasoline in your tank, sue Exxon for failing to provide the “tiger in your tank” they promised
  • Your insurance agent fails to hold you close, sue Allstate for not providing “good hands”
  • Think Fox News leans GOP, sue them for not being “fair and balanced”
  • Get bitter coffee dregs, sue Maxwell house for not being “good to the last drop”

I’m guessing it’s been a long time since Steve watched television commercials, but yes.

This one actually sounds rather sensible to me. We'd likely win.

And G.A., if you think Donkeypoop is bad, try a big steaming bucket of Elephant sh*t. (Yes, I have a number for John Edwards. No, you can't have it.)
