Wanna know what pisses me off? The fight over Oreo cookies. Some asshole is suing Nabisco or whoever makes Oreos because they're bad for you. Hello!! Am I the only one who realized cookies do not have the same nutritional value as spinach? And this guy won. I don't know exactly what he won, but the fact that you can sue a cookie maker for making things that taste good but are full of fat and chemicals. Read the ingredients. They're right there on the lable. Do you see fiber? No. Do you see sugar? Yes. Do you see things you cannot pronounce? Yes. Those do not equal good for you. If you don't want to get fat, don't eat a box of oreos. Don't go suing the company so they have to make them healthier. God. People in this country just don't take responsibility for their actions. Like the families suing McDonald's for making their kids fat. Big Macs aren't made of carrots and broccoli, folks. Let's get a grip here. And if you ask, they will give you a chart with all the nutritional information. Or go to Subway. It's on their napkins. There are something like 800 calories in a Big Mac. Besides, Ronald didn't go shoving the fries and shakes down the throats of these kids. He didn't hold a gun to their heads or beat them because they wouldn't comply. There's an award out there, similar to the Darwin Awards named after the woman who sued McDonalds for their hot coffee. I forget the name of it. But it's real lawsuits and their outcomes. There were two that made me particularly sad. One was a man who set his RV on cruise control, then went into the back and took a nap. The vehicle overturned three times, and he won some ungodly amount of money. This company then had to change their manuals explaining that "cruise control" did not mean "auto pilot". The other was a woman in a department store tripped over a rowdy kid and broke her arm. She sued the store and won. The child was hers.

Someone, please restore my faith in humanity.
