:: In yet another in a never-ending series of insane and idiotic examples of "this can only ever happen in the USA", a Knoxville TN woman is suing Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, MTV, CBS and Viacom, alleging that she and millions of other viewers suffered "outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury", as a result of the nano-second baring of Jackson's right mammary gland during the Super Bowl halftime show. The woman is seeking billions of dollars in compensatory and punitive damages! She has not specified what serious injuries she suffered as a result of the incident.
This woman needs to sit down and shut up. How do people come up with this garbage? What lawyer would take this on willingly? (Well, maybe that's not a leap of faith, actually...)
Here's hoping this is dismissed as fast as the Al Franken/FOX News lawsuit was last fall.

Posted by: Biff at February 10, 2004 11:36 AMMaybe I should sue the German guy who was on our resort beach - one girl we met said that just thinking about his "big bambu" frightened her. ;-)
