I swear, Americans can be such dolts. [I am, by the way, an American and glad and to be one] However, what the hell is going on? If I were to follow this lawsuit's line of reasoning, I guess I should sue a halogen light bulb manufacturer. After all, when I stare into one of their light bulbs from a distance of an inch and a half, my retinas suffer a bit of scarring. Also, while my logic is floundering on the shores of nincompoopery, I might as well request that my tax dollars be spent to find out if EXTREMELY BRIGHT and HOT light can damage eyes. ...OF FREAKING COURSE it can! I suppose it's an ice-pick manufacturer's fault when I stab myself in the groin.

Let's sue publishers because of paper cuts.

Let's do a study on blenders to see if they can mutilate your fingers if you put your hand inside it while its running.

...I'm sorry, I must stop writing. I'm dizzy from the rolling of my eyes. (I wonder if I can sue someone for that?)
