Quite frankly I'm sick and tired of these sorts of lawsuits (referring to all the stories mentioned, not just the original). When did we as a society completely do away with personal responsibility? I don't know how to drink responsibly, so I get blotto at your party and do something stupid to myself or someone else. Hey, it's not my fault! It's yours! You provided the alcohol. You should have been babysitting me!

Same thing with suing a bar &/or bartender where some a**hole gets plastered, then goes out and kills someone because he was drinking and driving. How about the woman who spills hot coffee on herself and sues McDonald's? It's not my fault I'm in debt up to my eyeballs. It's the credit card companies because they keep sending me these pre-approved applications and upping my limit.

It's not my fault I weigh 400lbs, it's Buger King's because it's all part of their plan to destroy the world by selling Double Whoppers and king-size fries. How dare they? Let's not forget the evil empire of Frito Lay with it's sinister potato chips and other tasty fat filled snack foods. No, no, it has nothing to do with the fact that I can't push myself away from the table, can't pass up a drive-thru, eat nothing but junk food and never get any more exercise than hauling my butt of the couch and head to the cupboard for another bag of double stuffed Oreos. It's Playstation's fault that I'm a loser who at age 35 still lives with my parents and doesn't have a job. I'm addicted I tell you and PS2 did it to me on purpose! (I'm just waiting for that lawsuit to happen.)

All this garbage out there where people are getting multi-million dollar settlements because they are stupid and brought it on themselves. Then there are folks who have a legit injury claims and they get tossed out on technicalities or some other BS reason.
