Mom wins tort lottery ticket
Cynthia Pereles takes her 5 year old son to Applebee's at 10 PM where his tantrums annoy the waiter who brings little Perles a Long Island Iced Tea (300 Proof) in a juice cup. Little Perles reacts by singing "Tiny Bubbles," and pinching the butt of women passing near his kiddie chair. Well, that's close. Of course mom's first thought was to call a lawyer and sue Applebee's. WTF? There is little question that the waiter acted maliciously, so sue him after he's fired. There are other aspects of this story that annoy me. First, Fox & Friends spent five minutes interviewing Perles, and now has come back to it with some guy named Dr. Manny Alvarez weighing in on the kid's supposed "post traumatic stress disorder." Who cares? This is insane. I'm fining FNC $ 1,000,000 for nincompoopery. And I'm fining myself $18 for mentioning it.

I'm planning to sue the creators of "Photo Shop" for the scalding hot coffee that I blew out of my nose when I saw the banner at the bottom of your Fox pic. Gaaaah!

Give her a meal and drink refund, fire the waiter and charge him with giving alcohol to a minor, he pays fine.

She's another offended minority with an attitude. Just look at the sanctimoniously angry face.

And where was the boy's father; not at home or else a five-year old would not be out at 10 P.M. Betcha the boyfriend gives the kid a drink to shut him up when he's calling on momma.

Skank's just looking for a deep pocket to pick and a chance to play the race card. Because it's a Federal suit, I bet "civil rights" will be in there somewhere so we taxpayers pay her legal fees.

WTF? Why is she dragging a five year-old out to a restaurant at 10-frigging PM?

Man have the trial lawyers got a large portion of the populace knee-jerk conditioned to sue over anything... Apparently there doesn't even need to be any real harm to anyone anymore; it really seems that any event can be lawspun such that party A owes party B ( -> lawyers) a shitload of money... I can't wait for the first suit over a muslim accidently being served pork.

When I see ridiculous stuff like that (at a frequency that is more than a little alarming), I keep saying to myself, "I gotta hop on this suing bandwagon so I can retire early..." But then I remember that I'm not an evil tool like Ms. Supermom here. Too bad being an evil tool comes with such a [seeminly] good benefits package; makes me question a society that lets such things fly...
