Suit accuses Match.com of fraud

A Brooklyn man filed a federal suit for $5 million against Match.com accusing it of fraud and deception for failing to let subscribers know if some of their "matches" aren't active on the site.

Sean McGinn's attorney, Norah Hart, said "They are left feeling they've been completely ignored and rejected. For some people, it could affect their romantic future."

Is this guy for real? Is he just tired of rejection and taking his anger out on someone else? What if the "matches" had already found someone? What if the "matches" weren't interested in the site anymore? I wonder if he thought of any other possible reasons before launching this stupid suit.

Ah, America the beautiful, home of the brave, and home of stupid law suits.

Man awarded $95,500 in suit against mom

A New Jersey man was awarded $95,500 plus $20,000 for medical expenses because he cut his pinky finger off when his mom tapped him on the shoulder.

John Garrity was working in his mom's garage with a miter saw when she came in and tapped him on the shoulder. If she said his name, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear her because you know saws are loud. Anyways, because he tapped him on the shoulder, he turned around and it caused his finger to move into the path of the blade. What if she said his name and actually heard her, would his finger move into the path of the blade in that situation too?

So, the State Superior Court said Garrity and his mom were each 50 percent in the wrong for the incident.

Lost XBox causes $1M lawsuit

What is it with people and their XBox 360's? I'll give them the fact that the game consoles do cost a bit of money, but is it anything to sue someone or a major company for? I thought only the people on Judge Judy do something stupid like that. I guess I was wrong, and I thought people who went to Ivy League schools were supposed to be smart.

In an article reported by the Associated Press, a Yale University student from Ohio is suing US Airways for $1 million from over his lost XBox 360.

While he was flying from New Haven, Connecticut, to Cincinnati in December, his Xbox 360 went missing from his luggage. Maybe he didn't pack it? Sometimes I swear up and down I packed something, and when I returned home I found the "missing" item right where I left it.
