My roommate and I were having a joke about this. In our native countries (Neither of us were born in the US), if someone were to bring a suit forth such as this one, that person would be ridiculed and most likely beaten.
This reminds me of another case involving (I believe) Johnson and Johnson. Some idiot wanted to dress up as a sheep for Halloween and covered himself in cottonballs. He later (Accidently) lit himself on fire when he went to smoke a cigarette and tried to sue to recover damages. Luckily, he lost his case (And only because he admitted to knowing that cottonballs are flamable).
Still, such things make you wonder. I'm pretty sure that the founding forefathers of the US didn't intend for such a blatant misuse of the legal system.
