Default Seattle Restaurant Serves Up Obesity Waiver

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.

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.

Viewing lawyers that way is fine. Until you need one. Every profession
has some who are not exemplary examples of rectitude but dont fall for
urban legends of uniform abuse. I'd rather tolerate a rogue lawyer
rather than the rogue president we suffer under.

Er? And what, pray tell, would you do if you were hit by a car (with
the accident the result of, say, driver inattention -- you're in a
crosswalk on a walk light & the driver barrels through) and the driver's
insurance company was willing to pay your medical bills, but the
accident left you in horrible pain that interfered with every single
thing you tried to do for the rest of your life, and they claimed you
were just pretending to that?

Many people are in situations where they are unable to fight for
themselves; the worse you are hurt, the less likely you are able to
recover damages to put you whole again. PI lawyers do the work for you,
when you're just struggling to be able to walk and eat & such again.

We surely can't count on the "law" in such situations; they didn't cite
the woman chattering on her cell phone who wiped out an immigrant family
of 4 while she sped down the road in her SUV, and they didn't even cite
the old guy who whipped around the waiting line of cars to kill two
12-yr-old girls crossing in the crosswalk by their school.

..... You make all the wrong assumptions about personal-injury lawyers.

You are correct, but you are making a rational response to an irrational,
vitriolic, whining mind-fart. Just let the air clear because neither of us
will be able to change anyone's mind or argue anyone else down. Lawyers
have always been (and probably will always be) the scapegoats for the
general public's tolerance of inequity.

Juries ... you know, the people who are supposed to know what justice is ...
are the ones who hear the cases, award the outrageous verdicts, and let the
murderers loose on the street. But the general public doesn't blame the
juries who set the awards or who let the OJ's go. It doesn't blame the
judges who uphold the judgments. It blames the lawyers who ask for the
awards. By its own refusal to accept responsibility for the way the legal
system is, it empowers lawyers far beyond the influence they ought to be
able to wield. Yes, lawyers love to be demonized. It gives them power.

Take the idiots here, for example. None of them would willingly serve on a
jury. They are too busy. They would be the first in line to tell the
judge, "I can't be on this jury. I have a business to run and customers to
service. I don't have the time. I have travel plans with my family, and
besides, I have medicine to take and doctors to see." Any excuse will do.
Anything to keep from doing their civic duty.

These same idiots, if injured, will be the first to seek out "the smartest,
meanest, son-of-a-bitch lawyer" they can find. They don't care about
fairness. They want the largest amount of monetary damages they can squeeze
out of the defendant that hurt them. They DON'T CARE about fairness, and
who do they blame when jury verdicts are too high or when plaintiff's claims
are silly (except for theirs, of course)? The lawyers!

The general public created the very "pond scum" they hate. The problem with
our legal system looks back at us from our mirrors, but it's too difficult
to take responsibility for how our government operates. It's much easier to
point fingers and spout popular tripe. In truth, WE are the pond scum
because we tolerate the way things are.

Yep, we blame the lawyers, not the juries. We blame the politicians, yet WE
put them there year after year. You are so correct!
