A man recently sued the Angels for sex discrimination because he was not given a tote bag as part of a Mother’s Day promotion.
Inspired by this litigious douchebaggery, the Altoona Curve (AA - Pittsburgh) are having Frivolous Lawsuit Night. I’m not a big fan of the concept; most notoriously “frivilous” lawsuits are actually meritorious but popularized in deceptive ways by insurance companies that hate paying the judgments. The McDonald’s coffee case is the prime example. (If you ever want a boring lecture from me, bring that up at a party as a symbol of the tort system run amok.)
Still, I like the whimsy behind the Curve’s promotions:
* A Pink Tote Bag Giveaway to the first 137 men in attendance ages 18 and over
* The first 137 women 18 and over will receive lukewarm coffee so they will not burn themselves
* The first 137 kids will be given a beach ball with a warning not to ingest it
