Lawyer Wants To Ban Oreo Sales (http://www.channel3000.com/family/2197762/detail.html)

A California lawyer wants to ban the sale of Oreos to children because they contain "trans fat", which is also in about 40% of all food sold at grocery stores.

Can you imagine having to show your I.D. and prove your age in order to buy cookies? I guess we should pretty much just ban kids from purchasing anything these days.

THAT IS PATHETIC!!!

America, the land of the free - until there were lawyers (if that statement doesn't upset somebody I losing my touch !!!)

first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers...

Then turn them inot Lawyer-O's.

wait, we want fatty cookies, not slimy cookies. :)

[Qwikshot]

Send lawyers, guns and money...

Lawyers have their place, the problem is, like everything, there are many of them...and idle minds are the devil's playground.

As the driver of the #12 Oreo car, Rewbie Newsday is officially on record as "against" this silly litigation.

It is. I'm off to eat some cookies now.

I'm for it if it drops the price of Oreos.

That must be one bad and bored lawyer to come up with that idea. It has laready done everything he wants though, PUBLICITY! He could not afford to buy advertising so he probably came up with this.

[cincyreds]

He's a chicken!

Here's a link to a CNN article (http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/05/13/oreo.suit.reut/index.html) with more details. Perhaps this guy didn't get his piece of any tobacco lawsuits, so he wants to sue Altria (Phillip Morris) for something else.

I really need to get going with my lawsuit against our nation's farmers and ranchers for all the unhealthy meat and dairy products they force-feed me.

Only in America can kids get away with buying porn and alcohol but will soon get nabbed for buying cookies ....sad .

[RendeR]

If this idiocy doesn't get otssed into the shit heap out of hand, I think I will find a gun and start eliminating the offending species (IE Lawyers) from the planet.....

Law suit has been cancelled, and the lawyer admits he did it for publicity to get the "word out" on transfat. Do the link (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2003/05/14/state1814EDT0162.DTL) .

Truthfully I think all he did was prove how swarmy civil-suit lawyers really are.

[Ksyrup]

I have often joked that I became a lawyer only so that I could get a piece of the class-action lawsuit I intend to file (one day) against Chapstick (Wyeth and its subsidiaries), since I'm convinced that they put something in Chapstick that actually dries your lips, requiring you to use their product at all times, not just when you get chapped lips due to weather conditions.

I have to constantly use it, or within a couple of hours, my lips start cracking and blistering. I'm this close to proving that Brewmeister Smith did not really die in the Elsinore Brewery, but has gone into hiding and is assisting Wyeth in perfecting Chapstick's addictive control over the lives of millions of people.

Care to join me?

how much money do you think we'd get?

[Ksyrup]

I'm not a trial lawyer anyway. I'm one of those who screws people from behind a desk. ;)

There are rules to protect against frivolous lawsuits, but they are hard to prove and usually not worth the time and effort. Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, for example (and most states have a state counterpart to it).

This guy seemed to have benefitted from that particular CA law (go figure) which I'm betting most states don't have.

There might not be any thing that actually dries your lips, but our bodies likely adjust in that they don't have to provide their own moisture anymore, so we are still dependent on it. My dad got me using chapstick as a kid, but I broke the habit.


I use Blistex now :D ... which isn't any better.
