Couple Sues Over Hot Pickle Burn (via metafilter) – Y’know, maybe McDonald’s should just serve everything cold. A woman says she’s permanently scarred after a hot pickle from a McDonald’s burger fell on her chin and is suing for more than $100,000. Her husband is suing for $15,000 because he “has been deprived of the services and consortium of his wife.” What the hell does that mean? Her lip got burned, and he’s “been deprived of the services … of his wife.” Oh… uh… yeah, ok…

Would you like fries with that strip search? (via metafilter) – A McDonald’s manager has been accused of unlawfully strip searching two teen-age employees. He says he was following orders from someone he thought was a police detective on the phone.

The girls have testified that they also thought the man giving directions over the phone was a detective, though authorities said the call to the restaurant was not from a police detective.

What an idiot: if he really believed the “detective” on the other end, he deserves to be convicted for stupidity! Why the hell would a police officer call up a civilian and instruct them to perform a strip-search? Why not ask to have the people detained until an officer could be on the scene? Duh…

Speechless – A rapist was left speechless when his intended victim bit off his tongue as he tried to force it into her mouth. Good for her! That bastard’ll never try that again (well, they were unable to reattach the tongue, so he can’t!) (via metafilter)
