Incredible Lawsuits

Yes, they are no doubt frivolous, but the word amazing is also quite appropriate. Over at List Universe they have the Top 10 Bizarre or Frivolous Lawsuits. Here's the link. As an alcohol counselor my favorite is # 3:

For a while in the 1990s, Anheuser-Busch, the producers of Budweiser, ran a series of ads in which two beautiful women come to life in front of two truck drivers. A Michigan man bought a case of the beer, drank it, and failed to see two women materialize. Cue the lawsuit. He sued the company for false advertising, asking for a sum in excess of $10,000. Thankfully the court dismissed the suit and the man remained penniless and dateless.

In addition to drinking the case of beer, the fellow should, perhaps, have done a hit of acid.
