Sadly, yes, "we" really are this stupid.
Hilarious! Have you REALLY seen all those warnings? Or did you take some artistic license and fudge them a little?
They're all real. Found 'em on the web while surfing one night, copied them down and forgot the site. Some of them I've seen before.
So who do we blame? The consumer that does something THAT stupid, the lawyers that are willing to take the case, or the corporation willing to settle?
My father is a surgeon. He actually knew a doctor that was sued because he gave a woman a MRI and she claimed she lost her psychic abilities. She won...it was overturned later...but she actually won the first round.
