So, good on you for that Sarah....we have enough of the thugocracy controlling the media...it will die down when you go back to Alaska.Suing someone else for spilling coffee on yourself is frivolous.....correctly suing someone for defamation of character is not (especially when character is such an important part of politics).



Have you ever looked into that McDonalds case about the coffee? We studied it and it was most definitely not frivolous. The coffee was crazy hot and they found out that McDonalds had payed off numerous other customers that spilt the coffee to keep them silent about how hot the coffee was. They then found out that they were keeping it so hot so they wouldn't have to make as much and it would stay hot longer. Now I'm not saying there aren't stupid cases out there but when we studied that particular case it was definitely not one of them.

that still sounds stupid and frivolous to me. if you are stupid enough to spill coffee on yourself then you deserve it. its COFFEE for god sake, of course its gonna be hot...

As I remember the case, the lady was driving at the time with the coffee between her legs, the top off, as she attempted to add sweetener. The finding was that she had no expectation and had not been warned how very hot the coffee was made. In fact McDonalds had made coffee much hotter than normally expected so that it would still be warm when the customer arrived at their destination. I still think the final finding for 3 million was frivolous but the judge added a serious punitive award because McDonalds had been warned in the past.

Hot coffee can only be so hot, and it's not like it's sitting there bubbling 'til you order it.

If your stupid enough to put your hot ass coffee between your legs and drive around, well, sorry, but you deserve to get your genitals scalded......and if you can't handle that but insist on keeping your drink snuggled up to your cock and balls, then order a fucking iced coffee or a soda or some shit.

Then they'll sue for undue shrinkage.

She didn't sue for as much as she was given. Like was said earlier the judge added big time to it because 1)McDonalds had been proven to been paying people off to keep from being sued which showed they knew the coffee was too hot and 2) They had been warned before.

Look at these facts about the case.. especially that the amount was reduced to $480,000.
McFact No. 1: For years, McDonald's had known they had a problem with the way they make their coffee - that their coffee was served much hotter (at least 20 degrees more so) than at other restaurants.

McFact No. 2: McDonald's knew its coffee sometimes caused serious injuries - more than 700 incidents of scalding coffee burns in the past decade have been settled by the Corporation - and yet they never so much as consulted a burn expert regarding the issue.

McFact No. 3: The woman involved in this infamous case suffered very serious injuries - third degree burns on her groin, thighs and buttocks that required skin grafts and a seven-day hospital stay.

McFact No. 4: The woman, an 81-year old former department store clerk who had never before filed suit against anyone, said she wouldn't have brought the lawsuit against McDonald's had the Corporation not dismissed her request for compensation for medical bills.

McFact No. 5: A McDonald's quality assurance manager testified in the case that the Corporation was aware of the risk of serving dangerously hot coffee and had no plans to either turn down the heat or to post warning about the possibility of severe burns, even though most customers wouldn't think it was possible.

McFact No. 6: After careful deliberation, the jury found McDonald's was liable because the facts were overwhelmingly against the company. When it came to the punitive damages, the jury found that McDonald's had engaged in willful, reckless, malicious, or wanton conduct, and rendered a punitive damage award of 2.7 million dollars. (The equivalent of just two days of coffee sales, McDonalds Corporation generates revenues in excess of 1.3 million dollars daily from the sale of its coffee, selling 1 billion cups each year.)

McFact No. 7: On appeal, a judge lowered the award to $480,000, a fact not widely publicized in the media.

McFact No. 8: A report in Liability Week, September 29, 1997, indicated that Kathleen Gilliam, 73, suffered first degree burns when a cup of coffee spilled onto her lap. Reports also indicate that McDonald's consistently keeps its coffee at 185 degrees, still approximately 20 degrees hotter than at other restaurants. Third degree burns occur at this temperature in just two to seven seconds, requiring skin grafting, debridement and whirlpool treatments that cost tens of thousands of dollars and result in permanent disfigurement, extreme pain and disability to the victims for many months, and in some cases, years.

McTip No. 1: Don't use your vag or ball sack as a coffee cup holder.

Thanks for all the McTips, but coffee is hot, ice is slippery and lawn mowers should not be turned over while running....certain things need not be advertised, but rather should be used as a darwinic separator

I do find it questionable though, that she doesn't address or refute any claims directly, nor has she taken any legal action against the people making the claims (which I find especially strange, since she most certainly could if people are making false claims that damage her reputation). I guess we'll have to keep waiting and see what happens....

As far as I know, these claims were made by unnamed sources so suing isn't an option... that's why she called them cowards because they wouldn't say it to her face or even put their name beside their claim.

So this turned out to be a Hoax... for what purpose I don't know... but unfortunately for Palin, this will be remembered as a 'fact' in the future.

At what point did we say that people now take absolutely no responsibility for themselves? This isn't corporate negligence, its personal stupidity. I guess this is another version of "redistribution of wealth."

I think you might have misunderstood. The guy outing himself as the "source" of the story is the hoax, not the story itself.
