Quote of the day

[The judge] found that their attack on "Crunchberries" should fare no better than their prior claims that "Froot Loops" did not contain real froot.
Here's your sign.

I don't know what's scarier - that this woman thought that a "crunchberry" was a real, actual plant product, or that she was actually a conniving bee-yotch who KNEW it but figured a jury would award her for "pain and distress" anyway.

Geez, it's a good thing they don't sell dingleberries, cuz this woman would buy them too....

Ah, one of the joys of our civil litigation system! Lawsuits for profit......

"Lawsuits for profit......"

There's another kind?

There used to be Smurfberries, too. And, um, they weren't made of Smurfs. Thankfully.

JeffS said...

That's my point, Dave.

There are so many horrible inappropriate jokes that could be appended on to Kate's comment.

(There's also an old, old joke about the kid who got sent home from school because he asked the teacher about apple pies and cherry pies and then Eskimo pies...)

That whole website is brilliant. I really like the Indian Tribe founded in an Arby's in Provo, Utah in 2003.
