:x oh man what a ass! some one should hit this guy with there car! :x

I know!!! It's people like him that give me a reason to not like hockey.

I say we go burn this guys house down!

Yeah I'd like to burn Todd McFarlane's house down.

:lol:

It seems in US you can sue people for just about everything...

The case will probably get thrown out, or they will settle out of court.

yup, there was this one case were some guy was breaking into a club so he didnt have to pay the cover charge, but he fell out of the window in the basement and sued the club for his injurys

:lol: Almost as funny as the fat guy who sued McDonald's for losing his health..

Why?

The guy? There were hundreds of those cases! :lol:

There was also a guy who fell asleep on the train and missed his stop, and got stuck on the train overnight so he sued.

heh I remember those cases :lol: :lol:
how stupid do you have to be to sue some one for somthing like that

To hell with the legal fine print. They should use common sence and when people bring any of these cases to court, tell them shut the hell up and stop complaning.

:lol: :lol: :lol:
i like that idea!

damn right

Lets not forget the lady who sued McDonalds over her coffee being hot.

I don't see why that consitutes disliking hockey. Well known enforcer my ass. That guy was a loser. He couldn't get the job done on the ice so he left and now he's flat broke so he decideds to sue over something so stupid it hurts.

I just took government in school, and, if I'm correct, then Twist is the one not protected, since slander/libel doesn't apply to people of national fame.

Besides, what if McFarlane had NOT heard of Tony Twist (Hell, I didn't until I read that article)? Illogical.

In most cases it doesn't apply, but sometimes it does.

Oh, excuse me, Prof. Shirley, I forgot that apparently you can prove people wrong without giving proof.... :roll:

At least you remembered my last name :lol: , anyway an actress (can't remember who) a few years ago won a case against a tabloid newspaper which accused her of some criminal acts. If that isn't slander than I don't know what is.

And there was also a similar case in which Michael Jackson won $2.7 million in a slander lawsuit against an author that accused him of sexually abusing little boys.
