Moral of the story: don't screw with people's livelihood for a practical joke. This lawsuit strikes me as being more sensible than the radio station suit because it was her job (and a crappy job at that) and she probably worked her ass off in hopes of getting that car, and I'd think there's a good chance that having a vehicle was going to alleviate a lot of stress in her life. I still have the gut response of thinking it's "frivolous" but then I wasn't the one who got the stupid doll... > --- On Thursday, June 23, 2005 12:49 PM, Nick McClure > scribed: --- >> >> So a DJ here in town did a call in contest, 10th caller >> would get 100 >> Grand, well, he didn't come out and say it was the candy >> bar. >> >> So the woman that was the 10th caller is now suing the >> radio station. >> >> http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=874653 My gut says I want this to be a "frivolous lawsuit" and get thrown out... but then again, I remember trying to call radio stations when I was a teenager -- not to win contests or anything, just to call in and make a request or whatnot... At least, at the time in Dallas just getting something other than a busy signal was a challenge, so actually winning something typically required a lot of effort and a lot of patience... To have it turn out to be something you can buy at the store for less than a dollar would have been monumentally frustrating. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:161794 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
