Where the wild crunch berries grow

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfmoms/detail?entry_id=41422


Some lady bought the cereal for four years believing crunch berries were a real fruit, sues.

I'm sure the next lawsuit she files will allege that he's actually Petty Officer Crunch and not a real "Cap'n".

Never underestimate the stupidity of a plaintiff or the mendacity of his lawyer.

At least the judge tossed it out, rather than award her McMillions. Still pretty damn funny, though.

Hahahaha. Well, that reminds me... when our kids were little, we took them to Discovery Place Museum in Charlotte to see the robotic dinosaurs.

We were talking with the woman at the front desk while waiting for my dad to show up and she told us they had gotten several calls from people asking what time they feed the dinosaurs. Not kidding.

Some of the other entries on that "Lowering the Bar" blog are freaking stellar.

Looks like the Cap'n is only a Commander. I imagine the embellishment was meant to impress the ladies.

I can't wait to hear the rationalizations from our resident lawyers about how noble and necessary their profession is, and how it's not a direct contributor to the breakdown and failure of our society today.

This woman needs to be beaten senseless with some black rubber hoses. Seriously.
