To make money in this day and
age, there are people who like to justify the means. And the funny thing is
they can take an unreasonable manner, for example by making a ridiculous
lawsuit and prosecution in court. There is a failure, there is also a success.
Here are 10 of the most
ridiculous lawsuits in the world.
1. A Nebraska Senator sues God
Nebraska State Senator Ernie
Chambers, perform a lawsuit against the Lord on September 17, 2007, she claimed
that she had made terrorist threats against the citizens of Omaha. He also said
that God inspired fear and dread that while this caused "widespread death,
destruction and terror against millions of inhabitants of the earth."
Provincial Judge Douglas
County area, Marlon Polk, set a rule to the plaintiff shall have direct access
to the defendant in accordance with the rules of the prosecution can be held.
Considering the circumstances, it proved to be a bit difficult. Senator
Chambers, however, claim that God is a figure known in the courts and can be
recognized, he realized that the party from which they will fight and
consequently he had to submit to him as much as anyone else. Look at the letter
of reply from the Lord of the demands of Chambers, published by The Star
dated 22 September 2007.
2. A Jack Ass sued other Jackass.
A man from Montana suing
Viacom, the media giant that produces the TV Program "Jackass". He
claims the TV program and movie, released in 2002, had plagiarized his name,
did not appreciate trademarks and dropping his name. Name? Jack Ass. He legally
changed his name from Robert Craft to Jack Ass in 1997 because of
"increased awareness of the dangers of drunk driving." Jack Ass - people, not the name of a TV program - said he
changed his name after his brother and friend were killed in a car accident
caused by drunk driving. He is seeking at least $ 10 million in damages.
3. Be careful with whom you
will marry.
A woman suing her fiance when
the man's seven-week break their engagement. Overall the jury agreed that the
man should provide compensation to a former fiancee of USD 178 000, - for the

of income while she solve the case, and USD 25.000, - to counseling with a
psychiatrist. The total was USD 356,000, - or about Rp.4 M.
Very bad at all. Try to think
about how much it cost the guy if he really married?
4. The effects of a car
accident is not just physical injuries.
A male 27-year-old Michigan
involved with a small crash on the back of his car. Four years later, he sued
the man who ran him down, claiming that the collision had sexual orientation.
He no longer wanted her and no longer able to perform his duties as a husband
in bed. He claimed that the accident really changed the whole personality,
causing him to leave his wife, forced to move in with his parents, and began to
come to the dependence of the bars gays. But is the worst part of this case?
Turns out he actually won his demands! He managed to obtain an indemnity of $
200,000, - and his wife awarded USD 25,000, -.
5. Unexpected haunted house
that turns scary, huh?
In 2000, a woman sued
Universal Studios for $ 15,000, - by claiming that the studio Halloween Horror
Nights (Part of the film studios are open to the public) is a haunted house
caused him "scared to death, deep mental anguish and emotional distress .
"Women who are poor. In my opinion, he really never thought before where
what is being entered, huh? Who could have guessed ...
6. Michael Jordan demanded by
the "twin"
In 2006, a man named Allen
Heckard sued Michael Jordan and Nike founder Phil Knight, amounting to USD 832
million. He claimed that because he was considered the cape as the original
Michael Jordan nearly every day over the past 15 years, he has suffered
permanent damage, including character assassination, and emotional pain and
suffering. He then became losers in the dispute.
7. Beer = beautiful women?
In 1991, a resident of
Michigan, Richard Overton sued Anheuser-Busch for fraud and false advertising.
He also claimed that he suffered personal injuries as a result of false
advertising. In the complaint, he is referring to Bud Lite ad featuring two
beautiful women who come into the lives of the Budweiser truck drivers. Because
it does not happen to him when he drank beer, he claimed that the ad was false
and caused him emotional distress, mental injury, and financial loss. He
demanded more than $ 10,000, -. The Court then canceled all his demands.
8. A man suing himself.
In 1995, a prisoner named
Robert Lee Brock sued himself for $ 5 million. He claimed that he was entitled
to sue himself because he had violated the rights of its own citizens, as well
as religious beliefs, when he allowed himself to be drunks and committing
crimes such as grand larceny. At the time he made this claim, he is serving
23-year prison term for his crimes. Brock claims that because he has a sense of
responsibility to the state and then prevented from receiving income, the state
should pay him for $ 5 million on debt to him. The case was immediately buried.
Just shows more evidence that prisoners have too much time to reach the point
...
9. Who told trust the
weatherman forecasts
A woman in Israel sued a TV
station (TV? Stupid TV) and a weather forecaster at USD 1000, - when the
weather forecasters predict will one day be sunny, but it rained. He said that
weather forecasting is very clear, and she went out of the house in a dress
alone. As a result, he was exposed to influenza, stay home from work for 4
days, out of money for the medical expenses of USD 38 and "sustained
pressure" as a result of one day with severe weather forecasting.
