Who has'nt laughed at the silly, frivolous lawsuits that we keep coming across in ths US? Not only the lawsuits themselves, but also the ridiculous amount in damages that the plaintiffs get as a result? (Yes, I am jealous).
The Stella Awards were inspired by Stella Liebeck. In 1992, Stella, then 79, spilled a cup of McDonald's coffee onto her lap, burning herself. A New Mexico jury awarded her $2.9 million in damages.
Check out the 2003 Stella Award Winners and the 2002 Stella Award Winners.

If you can, change the comment post template to launch commenters' URLs in new windows.
Of course, I could rightclick>Open in New window; but that's too much work!
