My Beer is Racist!

As I hover over my half drunk beer, a tear rolls down my sad, sad, sad face. Or should that have been: As I hover half drunk over my beer????? Oh well.... Here's a toast to all of you beer drinking Hindu Hate Crimers.

A California man is suing a microbrewery for featuring an image of elephant-like Ganesh holding a couple beer bottles on the label of its brew, according to the Contra Costa Times.

Brij Dhir, a Golden Gate University law student and attorney licensed in India, calls the use of the Hindu diety for such purposes a “hate crime” and wants $1 billion in punitive damages on behalf of Hindus around the world.

The owners of Lost Coast Brewery say no offense was intended and are considering the label of their Indica India Pale Ale.

that one guy will get all the money on behalf of the hindus? heh
people come up with anything to get money

$1 Billlion = about $1 EACH :D

surely they should get more :)
I'm with fyrewall: it's a scam, pure [not] and simple.

Watch out ACLU... religious symbols could be a hate crime.

maybe a crime of ignorance but hardly a hate crime!

How many americans even know that these icons are still apart of a live religion. IMO the court should make the micro-brewery remove the figure from the label then throw this greedy hindu f!@# out of the country but i kinda think the courts will give a large award. if it were a christian suing because the picture was of christ holding the bottle up with his teeth drinking while hanging on the cross the case would be thrown out.

We need the frivolous lawsuit law, now!

holy Jesus Cybr1d is alive... /me checks the AO Clan Forums.

/sarcasm Since he is suing on behaf of all Hindu's I am sure he is going to give up the money to them. (Minus a hefty legal fee perhaps? [900,000,000?]) :)

How much money can he get out of a microbrewery anyway? Are Microbrewery's by defininion small breweries?

I think Christians did sue about these types of displays, and were ruled against under some type of freedom of expression. The courts said it was artistic interpretation instead of a Hate Crime. It will be interesting to see if this makes it anywhere.
