I dunno, Bub. I keep asking people citing this whole Fat Lawsuit Crisis, and nobody will answer me.
So answer. What happened to the "lawyer leeches going after McDonald's etc."?
Oh, wait. There was only the ONE lawyer leech, who basically floated two cases, one of which was thrown out of court because it didn't show clear negligence, and the other of which I don't think was even filed?
Dur. All those damned one lawyer leech[es] and his two unsuccessful fat lawsuits. I remember that. Society as we know it almost crumbled.
Have you looked any of this stuff up at all? Are you aware that the tobacco cases were slightly more complicated than you portray them as? Do you actually have evidence that dumb warning labels have anything at all to do with actual litigation or threat of litigation, or is it just that marketing people are usually about as stupid as other people, and as such, tend to have some generalized, unfounded idea that they'll get sued for dumbassed shit like that?
And don't cite that Weekly World News' "contraceptive jelly" case, either.
