Official *********
This one's like the quotes threads, just post any stupid things people did, said, or are suing for.
 
"A murder suspect who hanged herself in a Florida jail left a suicide note asking her lawyer to sue the jail for failing to prevent her from killing herself, authorities said." Full Story :confused:

"He may be the world's richest man, but that didn't prevent Bill Gates from falling for an April Fool's Day joke by two Quebec radio comics pretending to be Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien." Full Story :D :D
 
Going back in history for one of my all-time favorite stupid quotes:
"The police are not here to create disorder, the police are here to preserve disorder." - Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, 1968
:p

Not that I know of. We have a Stupid Quotes thread, but this thread is for any stupid occurrence, not just a quote.

I don't know every thread, though. There may be another thread for stupid events and occurrences, but I don't know of it. If you see one, can you post a link to it
 
Someone sued because she spilled coffee on herself a while back and seinfeld stole it... I have the link to the article somewhere in my favorites I can't find it though.

I also have the link somewhere in my favorites that I can't find to someone sueing companys for making fattening products... Simpsons anyone?

Thats not all, she wants the warning labels to say that Everquest is addictive like cigarettes! She's just trying to shift the blame, her son had a mental illness and it makes her feel better to think that he killed himself because of eq instead of because there was something wrong with him.
 
I know i've been involved in many discussions on this one with different boards. A lot of people think it may have helped him and he would have commited suicide earlier without eq.
 
Even if he did kill himself because something bad happened in the game, it would be crazy to put warning labels for addiction on games. These people cannot realize that there are two types of addiction: Chemical addiction, like drugs or alcohol or cigarettes, and substance that you get addicted to and it is hard to stop, and 'Fun' addiction, things like TV and Video Games, where something is so fun or entertaining that you want to keep doing it. There is no scientific reason why you can't stop, you just don't want to. They're making a big deal out of this because it is a videogame. What about TV, the largest worldwide (Fun) addiction, or people who play sports all the time. Everquest is no more addictive than another fun activity like TV or sports, and far less addictive than things like alcohol and caffene, things which do not say that they are addictive (correct me if im wrong)
 
Posting is very addictive for me. I just can't stop! \

Exactly!

By the same logic we should have a warning label on this site warning people that it might be addictive.

Who will believe that?:confused:
 
Some people are REALLY stupid I don't care how old the guy was what kind of mom lets her son play a game that much?!??!
 
They might if it is certified by the government however they do it, besides it's just stupid, and some idiot may decide to put restrictions on the use of 'addictive' games and services. Besides, it makes a precedent that lets gives people more freedom to make stupid suits.
 
I think he was living alone, the impression I got was that he was and adult, his mom had no control over him. It's not her fault, but she seems to think it is thats why she is trying to shift the blame to the game
 
Even if she was, what is she going to do, go to his house and say I don't think you should play that game so much. :p

It would be like your grandma coming to your house and telling you mother what to do. SHe couldn't do anything, except try not to let this get out of hand
