It's crap like this...

...that makes me glad I'm not a lawyer.

Let me be perfectly clear about something: while I have a legal education, I am not now, nor have I ever been, an attorney.  I have never taken a bar examination.  I have never represented myself as a legal practicioner.  I hate lawyers.  Lawyers are responsible for crap like this:

Woman sues because her guacamole isn't "avocadoey" enough.

And from her own lips:

"I looked at the ingredients and found there was almost no avocado in it."

In other words, she could plainly see on the label that she was buying something that didn't have much avocado in it, and now she has the nerve to sue Kraft over the lack of avocado.  It's not like Kraft was producing something it called "avocado" and fraudulently listing avocado as the main ingredient.  She is suing Kraft because Kraft made something the way Kraft said it was made.

"We think customers understand that it isn't made from avocado," Claire Regan, Kraft Foods' vice president of corporate affairs, told the Los Angeles Times. "All of the ingredients are listed on the label for consumers to reference."

This idiot should be thrown out of court on her backside.  This is tantamount to buying root beer and then suing because you wanted orange soda.  If you want something made with lots of avocado, buy something that says "made with lots of avocado" on the package.  I suppose next she will want to sue Pinnacle Foods because Mrs. Butterworth's pancake syrup doesn't have any maple in it.  Oh damn, I hope I'm not giving anyone ideas...

It is idiots like this that make me wish I had studied for a Ph.D. instead of a J.D.  Then I wouldn't always feel so, so, dirty when I think about my education.

Maybe I could go after suger free Trix cereal?

This woman should not only be tossed out of court. She should be held up as a model of stupid.

Perhaps we should send her to a court emforcing Sharria Law and see how they would handle her crap?

I have a hunch.

I blame the lawyers for high health-care costs. However, there is much to be said for the highway robbery perpetrated by pharmaceutical and medical equipment industries.
