some people try anything for a quick
buck welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 most ridiculous lawsuits of all
time lawyer up blue boy
cuz I’m gonna sue you all for this list
we’re looking at lawsuits throughout
history that have made the most
outlandish and ridiculous claims whether
the plaintiffs won or not we’re
excluding purposefully silly ones like
state senator Ernie chambers suing God
to make a satirical jab at the absurdity
of certain lawsuits I needed that hook
to catch the public’s attention engage
their mind and get them to see how
important the operation of the court
system is in assuring that every
grievance should have a right to at
least one review by a judge only serious
legit lawsuits are allowed here no
matter how silly they may be and trust
us they get silly ah number 10 Moore’s V
Frederick I find it absurdly funny I was
not promoting drug I assumed most people
would take it at a joke high school and
weed are an unfortunate combination and
pop culture can sometimes create
decidedly silly behavior living here yes
you want to be it oh my god I just want
to shove it up my nose and have that
smell all day that’s a major govern
anywhere you lie you to fall case in
point
in 2002 the principal of a high school
suspended student Joseph Frederick after
he put up a banner with the words bong
hits for Jesus across from the school
during an event that was supervised by
the school and what was said event you
asked feel in pictorial a naturally
Frederick took the opportunity to sue
and claimed his right to free speech was
violated there’s a reason why the First
Amendment is first that deals with our
ability to engage in our own
philosophical and ideological pursuits
and to practice freedom of religion and
to express ourselves was initially
dismissed by the federal district court
but the decision was ultimately reversed
on appeal and Frederick was awarded a
forty-five thousand dollar settlement
out of court
a high school teacher and I tend to
incline to side the students number nine
Joseph the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration NASA at hall in
January of 2014
astronomers revealed an interesting
photo of the Martian surface showing a
strange rock that was not present in the
same spot 12 days earlier it naturally
brought considerable attention before
scientists deduced that it was likely
knocked into place by the rover’s wheels
the opportunity to over did a kind of a
pirouette we call it a turn in place but
but drove in such a fashion that it
would drag the right front wheel kind of
shattering across the ground undeterred
californian ron joseph filed legal
papers claiming that nasa wasn’t doing
enough to study what he believed to be a
living organism and a sign of life on
mars in the courts papers joseph
suggests that the rock may not be iraq
at all but rather a fungus-like organism
if so that would mean opportunity had
discovered life on mars we’re excited
about such a prospect but this one’s
just a rock dude I do like the way a
challenge like a lot number eight
heckard V Jordan and heckard V Nike pair
George from Nike in this case of
celebrity look-alike versus celebrity
and the company that made said celebrity
famous an african-american man from
Portland Oregon named Allen heckard sued
both NBA star Michael Jordan and Nike
for four hundred and sixteen million
dollars each he was supposedly suffering
from being constantly mistaken for the X
acog o Bulls player whenever he was out
in public well that’s I mean they’re
things could be worse yeah if I’m
playing basketball and people think I’m
Michael Jordan that seems like it’s
pretty awesome though they differ in age
and height heckard and jordan both have
shaved heads and we’re single earring
once a famous athlete and the other is
an airport shuttle driver with a
criminal record in the end heckard
dropped the suit before going to trial
and without being given any money
everyone get mad at you
no worse everyone was really nice about
number seven clardy V Nike something
else you can’t do in Air Jordans beat
someone up and blame the sneakers you
asked us there’s nothing more disgusting
than an immoral person blaming someone
or in this case something else for his
or her crimes it’s an anonymous keynote
check he ordered and out of that fing
object a pimp named sir Giorgio Sanford
Clardy was given a 100 year prison
sentence after he viciously beat the
customer one of his prostitutes with his
Air Jordans
clardy repeatedly stomped on the dudes
face resulting in the victim requiring
stitches and plastic surgery according
to Clardy this was Nikes fault and he
sued the company for not putting a label
on the product warning consumers that
they could be used as deadly weapons
yeah your prison sentence has nothing to
do with the fact that you stomped on a
guy’s head you just make an excuses
number 6 Recording Industry Association
of America v Walton we must promise them
that new technology and distribution
will pay them fairly The Recording
Industry Association of America are
known for being bloodthirsty creatures
and not even the deceased can escape its
rack to the RIAA music piracy is the
biggest reason revenue in that industry
has declined from over 14 billion
dollars back in 99 to less than half
that now proof they attempted to sue an
83 year old woman for making seven
hundred songs publicly available on the
internet but they sued her following her
death and the filed lawsuit came after
her daughter responding to a warning
letter with a copy of her mother’s death
certificate to RIAA lawyers sorry guys
but we’re pretty sure you’re not winning
this one the record industry association
of america needs a guide dog they cannot
tell the difference between a pirate and
someone who’s operating a lemonade stand
number five
Overton V anheuser-busch Co you’re
certainly delicious there’s no denying
that but we’d be hard-pressed to find
anyone who believes that it has magical
powers however Richard Overton was
certainly fooled as he sued Bud Light
1991 for their false and misleading
advertisements in their commercials mail
drinkers are often depicted in tropical
settings surrounded by gorgeous women
when
into the stretch good Overton’s lawsuit
concluded those particular
representations of life after drinking
the beer were quote untrue and should
therefore be labeled false
advertisements this case was suitably
dismissed interestingly Overton doesn’t
drink alcohol he filed a lawsuit when
his young kids had become entranced by
Bud spokesdog spuds Mackenzie number for
calc NV Nolan and Warner Bros helped by
its grim tone and dark subject matter
The Dark Knight became an immensely
popular film in 2008 all the success
became an issue for the mayor of a city
called Batman located in Turkey in his
bat craft crazy lawsuit Hussein kalkan
made plans to sue Warner Bros and
director Christopher Nolan for using the
name Batman without the city’s
permission as if the capital of Batman
province owned the rights to the name
cow can’t even blame the movie for a
rise of unresolved murders and suicides
in the area claiming that the Dark
Knight had made a negative psychological
impact on the city’s residents well they
never loses their minds the suit doesn’t
appear to we’ve ever seen it today in
court and Kalkan was also sentenced to
jail for promoting terrorism the same
year it’s number 3 Sevier V Apple Inc
this sound gets me hard as a Kim Brock
we’re not gonna lie there’s a lot of
porn on the internet that said it is an
apples fault no matter what Chris
heavier thinks severe complained that
his Apple product didn’t come with a
porn filter and argued in his lawsuit
that because of that he became addicted
to pornography which in turn destroyed
his life I don’t know if he knows but
Apple doesn’t own the Internet while we
can understand his argument about the
lack of a filter it’s unbelievable to
think he’s blaming Apple for his desire
for quote younger more beautiful girls
featured in porn videos rather than his
wife but that’s why you like to watch
those boys in those videos cuz you don’t
got to do anything for that right we
don’t know about you but random porn
sites don’t just pop up on our computers
you have to actively search for that
that’s not supposed to be on hey I’m
sorry hey we were just trying to like
have fun I mean is thinking on you
mouse pulse is really talking about
email that this came up on the line
number two
Rosenberg V Harwood and Google getting
directions is easy start from the search
box and search for a specific location
Google Maps is an astounding creation as
it gives directions to almost anywhere
in the world
however the web mapping surface doesn’t
account for cars
Lauren Rosenberg was following Google’s
walking directions which led her on to a
busy highway with no sidewalks she
intelligently kept right on following
the highway and was subsequently hit by
a car as a result she sued both Google
and the driver
Patrick Harwood for $100,000 but her
claims were ultimately dismissed
we don’t think Google needs the explicit
statement of please don’t walk into
moving cars on their directions but
apparently they do oh and by the way it
was nighttime when Rosenberg ventured
out onto this Highway
before we take our Silius lawsuit to
court here are a few honorable mentions
number one Lukas V McDonald’s he says he
suffered undue mental anguish after he
was given only one napkin when he
visited the burger chain while you’ve
probably heard the story about the woman
who sued McDonald’s for serving their
coffee too hot and her suffering of
third-degree burns at least that one had
legal grounds we bought a product it was
used as intended
it was unreasonably hot and therefore
unreasonably dangerous and those were
the essential facts nothing Trump’s
Webster Lucas’s lawsuit though in which
he sued McDonald’s for 1.5 million
dollars over a confrontation stemming
from a request for more napkins instead
of giving him more napkins the manager
allegedly resorted to racist remarks and
cursed at Lucas instead which left the
customer distressed unable to work and
demanding a cool 1.5 million dollars
it’s not that being discriminated
against isn’t legitimately distressing
but the thing is mr. Lucas seems to have
a history of suing fast-food joints he
reportedly sue jack-in-the-box twice and
also brought suit against Walmart and
Denny’s it’s the best way to celebrate
friendship do you agree with our list
can you think of any other silly
lawsuits if they are learning at such a
young age that you know freedom of
speech is more a myth than a fact then
that is sort of a dangerous precedent to
set for our country for more sane top
10s published every day be sure to

phone receivers boots ropes and scalding
hot water have been classified as
dangerous weapons in oregon they aren’t
required to have warning labels
