    There were lots of US stories about “oh, this lady got millions for spilling coffee on her” (with no mention of just how bad those burns were and how unreasonable the temperature settings on McDonald’s coffee machines actually were. This spurned a bunch of laws and rulings that put limits on liability.

    The refrain of “they just wanted money” resonated with people. People who don’t recognize that punishing companies on their balance sheet is often the only method capitalism offered to ever rectify these things.

    So what I’m saying is, Luigi did nothing wrong.

      Yeah, from now on, if anyone negatively speaks of the victim of McDonald’s boiling hot coffee, I just say this, “two words: fused labia”.

      Either they are too stupid to understand and therefore not worth my time, or they understand and are horrified.

      Free Luigi.
