McJustice

Perhaps you remember a lawsuit against McDonald's I mentioned a few months ago here. Super-sized, porky, fat-munching junky children claimed that McDonald's made them fat, and should be forced to pay restitution.

In a rare, strange, and altogether exciting twist of fate, the lawsuit has actually been thrown out because it was stupid. The judge in the case said, "If consumers know (or reasonably should know) the potential ill health effects of eating at McDonald's, they cannot blame McDonald's if they, nonetheless, choose to satiate their appetite with a surfeit of supersized McDonald's products." I quote him for the sole reason that I very much like the word "surfeit," and I am pleased to see it used. "Satiate" is a pretty good word too. Plus, he gets into some hot alliterative action, which I think is pretty Sweet.

P.S. If those sorry fuckers who write for Smallville do not get around to opening the spaceship like now, I will march right down there and kick their collective ass. Also, Mrs. Kent is stacked. Who knew?
