    I am NOT a frivolis lawsuit anti captialist guy in any reason or fashion but if you look at this case McDonalds does hold some of the blame.

    MasterKiller just spelled out the reasoning's a few cases below.

    I have nothing against McDonalds either, as a business they do an amazing job doing what they do best, provide cheap though crappy food, at very cheap prices to the public.

    That's a good point.

    I love this bit though:

    Chuck Norris used to soak his feet in McDonalds coffee, but found it too cold, he now uses lava.

    Some, yes. But not $2.7 million in punitive damages when an idiot put a cup of hot coffee between her own legs while in a car.

    While the coffee was too hot, the accident would never have happened had she not put the cup there in the first place. Again, thats why cars have cup holders in them. It's common sense. One should not be rewarded for having none of it.

    Agree, she was wearing a large pair of clown shoes that day, but my main point is the word frivolis.

    I don't think it merits frivolis, tarded yes, but since McDonalds has some of the blame, I think this case in specific falls outside of that zone by a few feet.
