This is a real complaint and “law suit” filed by one prisoner of South Carolina. It’s actually so ridiculous, I had a hard time believing it to be true. But this just takes the cake and is easily one of the most fascinatingly ridiculous claims I’ve ever read in my life. Enough of the bantering, let’s take a look at ‘Riches vs Vick’.
According to Above The Law, plaintiff Jonathan Riches has been increasingly irritated by Micheal Vick (yes, the football player). In fact, Mr. Riches, while in prison, was able to determine that Micheal Vick has “pledged allegiance to the Al-Qaeda”, “is in the steroid business”, “subjected him to microwave testing” and even “uses drugs in school zones”. Of course all of this hadn’t take place before the stay at prison, but according to Riches, these things had identity theft (of Riches), illegal dog fighting, extortion, racketeering and tax fraud.
So, as the plaintiff, what does Mr. Riches want? A “63,000,000,000 billion dollars” return for ‘damages’, backed by gold and silver… As wildly entertaining as this is, I have to question what he means with that asking price. And the audacity to ask for it backed by gold and silver? Oh, he’d also like a restraining order, too (because you never know when a player of the Falcons is going to harass you in your own cell). Hilarious enough, this complaint to file suit was actually sent to The District of Columbia.

Blogs are powerful weapons, especially when you infringe copyright on… yourself. You would assume that the due process of law wouldn’t allow this to happen. Then again, we’ve all been told what assuming makes you and I both look like.
Anthony Curtis, the owner of a Las Vegas blog, is being sued for using material from a Righthaven news source in his online journal. The most entertaining twist of this entire situation? The material Anthony “stole” was his own.
Mr. Curtis created a survey for Las Vegas, sharing said information with Righthaven and their newspaper. He was then sued for using portions of his own work from the article he contributed to. Critics of the foolhardy lawsuit have agreed that public domain should apply, but that isn’t changing the plaintiff’s mind.

The world and the people in it are becoming dumber every day. Although we are surrounded by idiots, there are a handful of frivolous savants that put the human race to shame.
For example, a woman playing golf hit the ball into railroad tracks only to find the ball crashing back in her face. Horrible coincidence right? The courts didn’t think so and awarded her $40,000.
How about a $2 million dollar paint job? A guy bought a BMW only to find out it had been repainted prior to his purchase due to damage from acid rain. His reward… $2,004,000.
A Swedish man donated his sperm to a lesbian couple so they could start a family. However, the same sex relationship did not last and one of the woman ended up suing the biological father for child support. She won and now this generous sperm donor is coughing up over $3,000 a year.
Ever walked by a vending machine and had it fall on you? This does not happen by chance. A teen was trying to steal a soda and his struggle to save a buck ended up costing him his life when the soda machine fell on top of him. His family sued Coca Cola for over a half million, blaming the company for not securing their machines and posting signs.
And the finale… a man turned gay after being rear-ended. No really, this guy got into a rear-end collision. Several years later, the man left his wife and started to frequent gay bars. Claiming the rear-end collision changed his personality (obviously more than that), this newly established gay man was awarded $200,000. His wife… she was awarded $25,000.

A woman visiting the Maritime Aquarium with her family sued the city of Norwalk after her toddler stepped in dog poop just outside the Maritime garage.
The woman tried to recoup her lost day and a new pair of shoes in the amount of $100. Who spends that kind of money on kids shoes?
Luckily, Norwalk officials denied the woman’s claims and she will be forced to hose the shoes off just like the rest of us common folk.

A teenager is electrocuted after a bet with friends “made him” climb a 35 foot electrical pole. After nearly 20,000 volts of electricity were sent through his body, his mother is now suing the electric company.
Apparently, a 30+ foot pole and the sight of electrical wires is not enough. Instead, according to this kid’s mom, the area should have been fenced off, signs should have been posted, and the tower should have been designed in a way to deter climbing.
This may be a weird concept for some parents but maybe, just maybe, this kid should have been raised with some common sense.

Lawyers are more than aware of frivolous lawsuits, or even better, dumb lawsuits filed by ignorant people. This lawsuit combines the best of both worlds.
When you take a woman from New York who happens to be a lawyer and throw in a wedding, out comes Bridezilla! Elana Glatt decided to sue her florist after they did not furnish the anticipated flower arrangements for her wedding.
The flowers were prepared by a Manhattan Floral Company for the amount of roughly $27,000. Elana is suing for $400,000 claiming breach of contract! Taking into consideration reasonable restitution and damages, where in the h@ll did she come up with this number?
All said in done, the real victim in this story is the poor man Elana married.

What do you get when you mix vodka and radio together? If you answered “your every day radio host” well, you are are right. But, the better answer is an “absolutely ridiculous lawsuit”.
The makers of Absolut Vodka (V&S Vin & Spirit) have decided to go after a local radio station for trademark violation as the station recently changed their name to Absolute Radio. [more...]

Now this is a dumb lawsuit! First, lets start off with a few questions. If you are shot by a stranger (and live), do you sue the person who shot you or the company who made the gun? If someone is texting while driving and rear ends your car, do you go after the driver and their insurance or the cell phone provider? If you eat fast food regularly and refuse to exercise, do you sue McDonald’s or shut your fat mouth…. you get the point. [more...]

The Chinese have finally distanced themselves from a stereotype that is often associated with Asians. They are not good at math!
Had this lawsuit been filed for $4 million dollars, it probably would have been settled “behind doors”. Instead, on behalf of all Asians in Los Angeles, a woman by the name of Lucie Kim filed a civil rights class action lawsuit against Miley Cyrus for $4 billion. [more...]
