A Million Little Lawsuits
It should be no surprise that the scandal du jour (Oprah get's duped by a lyin' addict!) results in a flurry of lawsuits from wronged citizens all looking for a piece of a punitive damages pie.
A couple of Seattleites hopped on the bandwagon by suing James Frey, the author of the not-so-autobiographical "A Million Little Pieces," a book that probably wouldn't have gained the sales and acclaim it did if not for Oprah. He also probably wouldn't have been caught publishing "a million little lies" about his redemption from a life of drugs and crime:

Read the lawsuit story in today's Seattle Times:
Annoying? A little (Enough With the Title Case Already, Mr. Frey). Worth millions for pain and suffering reading a memoir that turned out to be fiction? Please! What are we talking about here? Finnegan's Wake, it ain't!
SO... Frey and Random House are being sued for a litany of crimes against humanity, including breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation, violation of the Washington Consumer Protection Act and, my personal favorite, unjust enrichment.
Got me thinking there's a lot of other people who deserve to be sued.
Sue the plaintiffs and lawyers who clog our courts with stupid lawsuits such as this.
Sue the judges who don't throw these lawsuits out, therefore encouraging more of them.
While we're in a litigious mood, why don't we...
Sue Fox "News" for failure to provide unbiased and balanced news coverage. They are a true crime against humanity.
Sue Steven Spielberg for ruining the Stars Wars franchise with Jar Jar Binks.
Sue Tim Eyman for breathing. (He REALLY SHOULD should be sued for his stupid, ill-concieved, state-fund-bankrupting initiatives. Why can't he just GO AWAY?!!??!)
Sue the dumbass who ran out of gas on I-5, causing rubberneckers to create the traffic jam that made me 20 minutes late for work.
Sue the rubberneckers.
Hell, sue everyone with a driver's license-who hasn't rubbernecked?
Go ahead and sue me. I'll countersue and we'll see who lasts the longest!
