But they do not advertise with "This coffee won't burn you", "You can stick forks into these electrical sockets" or "Jumping from this 12th floor won't hurt". | ||

Actions have consequences. If you fool people with lying (which the court concluded that they are fooling people, i am not saying i know if they are lying or not) sooner or later someone could use it against you. It's the nature of this stuff. And there is no small or big lie. Lie is a lie, especially it gets more important if you're telling it to the intense amount of masses. | ||

I really hate advertisement and all that claims they do within it. Im not stupid enough to fall for it but some people are and thats fed me up so im actually happy to see them being sued over the suggestive advertisement. | ||

If I wasn't so lazy I'd probably try to do the same based on some retarded ads I've seen in my life. | ||

I work at Tim Hortons and the hottest thing we serve is tea, which is boiling water but not enough to cause third degree burns. I've even spilt it all over my hands, yea it's hot but not that hot :S I was getting kind of confused with that too. Until I realised the temperatures were being reported in fahrenheit. So Macdonald's coffee was served below boiling. I make drinks and soups hotter than that. The key to the woman's injury was the type of fabric she was wearing. I don't see how that can be termed "negligently hot". But I'm no lawyer so I won't comment. | ||

What kind of hot water burns through skin for that matter? I have seen sugar burn through skin but not water... | ||

Lie is a lie, especially it gets more important if you're telling it to the intense amount of masses. *sighs* If you were to rape and defile the redhead at the bus stop you would be held responsible and would get punished. But there is a reason you raped her. Get what i'm trying to say? I'm not trying to say you wouldn't be held responsible (i get the feeling you didn't read my full post...) i'm trying to say who's fault is it. Why would you rape the red head, your lack of masculinity, were you abused as a child, did your parents beat you, did you witness a scaring event( murder, rape, horror movie etc.) So YES i'm saying you would be responsible as you were the one who raped the girl, but who's fault is it?(and btw i've stated a few time in the post that the person who did the action of whatever is still responsible...) | ||

Sure it should be fairly obvious that nutella is not good for you but I wonder if the "she should have read the label" people do the same on everything they eat. If a company uses advertisements that is very misleading or just factually incorrect they should have lawsuits coming their way, I don't get why people are opposed to this. If I wasn't so lazy I'd probably try to do the same based on some retarded ads I've seen in my life. Thank fuck, finally someone GETS IT. It's impossible to double-check everything and run a background search on every product you ever come across. The only rational way to keep people informed is to put accurate information (the good and the bad) within the ad itself. Besides, it's not like it's something unheard of in advertising. In a lot of countries, medicine and cigarette ads have to display a message that the product may be harmful for you, and specify how/why exactly - both in the ad itself and make it very visible on the product container (and in clear and simple language, not something as obscure as "nutrition tables"). Food industry has been getting away with far too much crap lately, and they've not been held accountable for it. Given that the quality of food we eat is deteriorating by the day, it's ridiculous to be opposed to lawsuits like this - at least until food advertising is properly regulated and put under control. | ||

Well when she received 3rd degree burns (and they had over 700 similar complaints, many also with third degree burns) then yea obviously something is a bit off there. | ||

So you read the part where it says it is a healthy treat? But somehow not read the nutrition label telling you how much saturated fat and sugar is it in... Selective reading maybe? Sure you may not be able to double check everything for an item you buy once in a while or in the spur of the moment, but if you buy something on a weekly basis for 2 straight years with it sitting on your kitchen counter, don't you think it is more than reasonable to assume you would have had a closer look at it? | ||

It says on the back label "Kids do a lot of living in the day, providing them with a balanced breakfast can make a difference" Example of a balanced breakfast + Two slices of high fibre whitebread with 10g of delicious Nutella per slice + One glass of reduced fat milk + One piece of fruit I really don't see anything wrong with this labelling, this lawsuit is retarded. | ||

By that same logic people about to retire with no financial knowledge deserve to lose their life savings if they get manipulated into putting their super into a high beta investment when clearly it wasn't wise to do so. | ||
