The word of the day is "ridiculousity"

[Kosmo]

So apparently they stopped fining for stupidity and started rewarding it and suing afterwards.

So where was the line we crossed that everything that happens after you have played a video game is NOT necessarily connected to it.

The story goes that some dimwit jumped from 24th floot after playing WoW, and the parents thought that "it was most propably maybe somehow connected to something that might have had in someway have something to do with something like a game or something " so they decided to sue Blizz. Smart move from a stupid animal, it's like a snail started to use a bicycle or something.

So does anyone else think that this is just starting to go to bit over the top of common sense? My friend jumped from a roof after eating some bread, I propably just in case should sue the company that made the bread, just in case I should sue the company that made the butter and the one that made his jeans, maybe the company responsible of the asphalt had something to do with it, of and not to forget the company that build the building, it was their fault that after eating dry bread he decided to jump off the roof because his jeans were too tight and the butter was supposed to be low calorie product and the building builders made the building way damn too tall and the asphalt was not nearly soft enough. Yeah that was it.

So should we start a organization that countersued people just for kicks, "sued for stupidity!"

Link YEAH!

(disc. ridiculousity is not an actual word)

This guy almost sounds like a Chinese Jack Thompson

Anyways, these things happen quite often. But as far as I know, if they ever get to the courtroom they are often dismissed. And if it did turn into a case, I'm sure Blizzard has a bloodthirsty legal team, or atleast the funds to get one.

This is the only known image of the head of Blizzards legal team.

Didn't the US Congress pass a law forbidding the suing of fast food company's for making people obesse? I think that this is something along the same lines. People need to stop making excuses and finding scapegoats for their inadequacies.

[Kosmo]

There should be a world wide law against stupidity.

[D3ads]

There's a solution to this problem, it's called 'kill all the stupid people'.. if only...

I can't take your comments seriously, but if I were I'd have to respond "Who decides who is stupid" The world is based upon opinion in which case majority rules. No single person can judge right or wrong.

You forget it's also China, and the Chinese government HATES video games. They do not like their citizens to be able to freely talk and interact with large numbres of each other at once. It's why their internet cafe's have a strict time limit.

Most judges in America would throw this out before it even reached a jury because it failes to show anything beyond post hoc ergo propter hoc (B happened after A, therefore A caused B). Most judges in China will allow this because it allows the Chinese government a method to crack down on people playing WoW, EQ, Lineage, Ragnorak, etc.

[Kosmo]

Fletch, what you just said has no accuracy at all and I believe that even in China the judgess will pull the plug on this legal action because it has just no base to begin with.

[Fletch]

I think you put too much faith in the Chinese legal system.

[von*ferret]

too say that the chinese government does not go at great lengths to censor the population is to be silly.
