Default Seattle Restaurant Serves Up Obesity Waiver

It's the 'class action' lawyers that are the true scum. Always claiming to
be working on your behalf, and then pocketing millions while you get a
coupon, if you're lucky. And then what? The companies zinged up their
prices to cover the cost of the class action. So you get shafted twice.

I agree. I put these "personal injury" scum bag lawyers right along side
rapists and child molesters. I would like to see everyone of them run
over by a fully loaded cement truck.

Order a signature dessert at the 5 Spot eatery in Seattle, and you'll

have
to sign a liability waiver first.

The semi-serious gimmick applies to "a sugar-coated, deep-fried,
ice-cream-swaddled, caramel-drizzled, whipped-cream-anointed banana"

called
The Bulge, reports the Washington Post.

Before you can take your first bite of the fattening fare, you have to

sign
a waiver that states, "I will not impose any sort of obesity-related
lawsuit against the 5 Spot or consider any similar type of frivolous
legislation created by a hungry trial lawyer."

5 Spot co-owner Peter Levy says the creation stemmed from anger at

trial
attorneys who want to make restaurants accountable for their patrons'
eating habits. "We came up with the most fattening and delicious

dessert
we
could think of," he tells the Post.
