Sanity wins a round
Reuters is reporting that U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet has bounced the plaintiff's revised attempt to sue McDonald's for poisoning the wells and making Bic Macs from the blood of... I mean, sue for using misleading advertising to lure children into eating unhealthy foods that make them fat.
I don't know about you, but there was never any doubt in my mind what those fries and burgers were doing to me. Even after they switched to vegetable oil. McDonald's? Unhealthy? Retards. How could you appear in public, with your face hanging out, and claim that you were duped by the fiendish ad campaigns of a fast food restaurant? I would die of shame if I ever signed onto that lawsuit.
Thank God the judge has some connection to reality. We need more judges like that, and less assholes trying to game the system for easy money.

One other quick note: The
One other quick note: The judge rejected the case in part because the plaintiffs couldn't show that Mcdonald's food was WORSE for you than if you cooked the same thing in your own kitchen. In other words, a hamburger you cook yourself isn't different nutritionally than one at McD's. The judge did say that if the plaintiffs had been able to show that the McD's hamburger WAS significantly worse for you, they might have had a case.
The plaintiffs didn't even bother to try to demonstrate this, scientifically. They'll be back, I'm sure. Apparently there were 700 lawsuits that failed against tobacco companies until the one that succeeded.
Common sense rules, for now...
