Suing

Consider this:

You go out for a loud evening with the band Motorhead, and they decide to crank their monsters up to 160 decibles for two hours straight. But wait, YOU forgot to wear earplugs. Or maybe you prefer to hear the band at full force. The volume keeps rising, and the sound engineer chuckles to himself at the thought of bleeding ears.

Now you've gone and damaged your hearing. I think it's time to sue Lemmy and his godforsaken band from hell (not to mention the sound engineer who apparently can't keep his finger off of the volume slider), don't you? What's that? You say it's my fault for going to the show in the first place? That I should have expected nothing less from Lemmy and his crew? Well THEY didn't warn me. THEY thought it would be COOL to stretch their sonic repertoire to the outer limits of human capacity. THEY didn't care about me.

I'm suing.

And so is this guy.

You know who else I'm going to sue? General Motors, for engineering my Buick in such a manner that I would eventually have to do maintenance on it. I mean, what are they thinking, making cars that don't last forever? I didn't see anything in the manual that said "vehicle will eventually require maintenance", or "brakes will eventually wear to metal, leaving you without the ability to make a clean STOP". Clearly, THEY don't care.

And Nature. Yeah-- Nature. Nature is going to be served some justice for dropping all this wet snow that eventually turned into the ice that I slipped on, subsequently crushing my elbow. NATURE didn't put any signs up. NATURE didn't warn me. NATURE didn't care.

I know I've got some well supported cases here, but what about this guy?
