Lawyers Own The Fucking World
$11.3M award for "defamatory" internet posts.
There are way too many lawyers in the world. They are fucking sharks. Predators. Law firms are some of the very few businesses in Buffalo that can afford billboard and TV advertising (the other businesses being car dealerships).
Broke a nail? I'm sure someone out there would be willing to try and get you a heavy reward. What nonsense.
The fact that people can even do something like this sets a dangerous precedent. What, if someone gets offended are you going to sue them? I guess so.
What are we becoming?

Hello hello 
A nation of badass motherfuckers who don't take no shit from nobody?
...which is what happens when you don't show up for your defense.
I'm kind of split. On the one hand, it is amazing to me that people do not yet understand that what they say on the Internet is as public and subject to libel claims as anything you'll find in print. On the other hand, I can't believe that the Internet posts really caused $11M in damages. On the third hand, it is amazing to me that a jury would award such a patently ruinous financial settlement for its own sake.
