After covering dumb lawsuits for months on end, the old “hot coffee” lawsuit has come back to bite us in the ass once again. Hey, you can’t mess with a classic. Well you can, but you’d just get your ass kicked, ripped off and then you’d get your ass kicked with your own ass.
Unfortunately this isn’t the “hot coffee” lawsuit you’re thinking of. According to Legal Blog Watch, Take Two Interactive has settled its suit over an adults only mod hidden in “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.”
Yes now thousands of innocent little hackers who know how to access everything on the web from free porn of Asia Carrera to illegally copyrighted movies of Asia Carrera have received the justice their innocent eyes deserve from having to waste a full week hacking into a game to watch fake characters do it.
The settlement could provide owners of the original game with a $35 refund and a replacement disk or Take Two has a special deal for hardcore gamers. Instead they can show up at your door, give you your money and then you can just give it right back to them since that’s what you were going to do anyway when the new “Grand Theft Auto” hits stores next year.
The lawyers meanwhile will get a whopping $955,000 in attorney fees and $45,000 in court costs, all of which will be paid in Sonic rings.

You’ve got to be kidding right??? Why has America dissolved from a nation of hard-working people with intelligence into a country of worthless-assed lazy people who just sit around and look for new ways to “get rich quick” by finding new things to sue about?????

People are always trying to sue but to sue a teacher, the person who spends more time with a child then the parents, a person who is teaching your child a basics and life skill, and the person who has the authority over your child’s future for an entire school year some people are idiots if a teacher is doing wrong to your child a lawsuit is the last thing you would want.

Ladytee,
I think you commented on the wrong article (since I remember reading the article about the teachers being sued for lowering their children’s “self-esteem”).

Hmm…Sid NightWalker …Sounds like the next Silly Law Suit: Take Two Interactive counter suing the boy for releasing the hack that opens up the hidden content…I am sure the End User Agreement that the boy accepted by opening up the game prevents reverse engineering of the game.
