The people who sue over stuff like this need to be launched into the sun.

Counterpoint: advertisers and marketeers bend every truth they can well past the breaking point. Fear of this stuff is the only thing that keeps them in line, and even that doesn't work too well.

Now, you give me a world where Marshal Dillon actually punishes corporations themselves and the fancy suits who run the departments caught lying actually face jail time for deceptive business practices, then we'll talk tort reform. Until then, we're living in the wild west of capitalism, and sometimes the only one willing to face the bandits is a madman. So sometimes I prefer to keep a madman or two at the bar with me, just in case.

EDIT: Yes, it appears the site is having some major technical issues. Status Pages Site
