WARNING : THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH SECURITY, I MERELY FELT IT NOTE WORTHY AS IT SICKENS ME NEARLY AS MUCH AS DOES THE GOVERMENT POTENTIALLY PERMITTING HOLLYWOOD TO CRACK P2P NETWORKED MACHINES.
Get a load of this :

Man sues fast food restaurants for his obesity.
Minor Rant starts :
Now, I listen to NPR radio and its programming a lot. Some months ago they were talking about the manner in which people were now sueing the tobacco industry. One lawyer/ expert they had on at the time said that with the way things were going, the increase in litigations, it wouldn't surprise him to learn that people would start sueing snack manufacturers, (ie Pepsi, frito-lays, hostess, etc), for the fact that they were making something that was considered "Addictive" in some fashion. What in the hell makes people think that for their laziness they can sue a major manufacturer and get away with it? Do they really belive that all this time they were gorging themselves on triple cheeseburgers, french fries, twinkies, cream pies, and so on and so forth, that they were consuming healthy items? Do they really believe that the one leaf of lettuce they get in their cheeseburger is enough of a vegetable to keep them healthy and somewhat fit? Does it ever occur to these people that if they would get off the couch and excercise even a little bit each day they would be more lively and well equipped in life? If this kind of thing ever crossed their minds, what did they think, eating buttered popcorn while watching jerry springer would be better for them? What a bunch of f@$%ing retards. God forbit they should start to think for themselves and realize that hey, maybe the lifestyle they lead isn't so good. But neh, it's easier to pass the buck and potentially make a few on the side while doing so. Bunch of jack asses.
This really aggravates the crap out of me. It aggravates me nearly as much as knowing that hollywood is pushing for the ability to crack machines running p2p sharing. In the end, maybe these idiots sueing the snack food industries will be a good thing.
rant ends.
What do you all think. Is this any more justified that hollywood pushing for the right to crack with the reason of suspicion? Am I way off base and askewed from the rest of the worlds way of thinking? I can't see that I'm too far off here, this just doesn't make sense.
