If you're an ass, Sue someone!

The amount of lawsuits in this country is completely obsurd. I'm not saying anything you don't know already, and the amount of writing that one could do simply on litigious lawsuits is more than anyone cares to read about. What I will do, though, is point out one recent lawsuit that tickled my fancy.

Microsoft sued over alleged Xbox 360 glitch

A Chicago man who bought Microsoft Corp.'s new Xbox 360 has sued the world's largest software maker, saying the new video game console has a design flaw that causes it to overheat and freeze up.

The proposed class action claims that in Microsoft's bid to gain share in the $25 billion global video game market, the company was so intent on releasing the Xbox 360 before competing next-generation machines from Sony and Nintendo that it sold a "defectively designed" product.

Now, anyone who was lucky enough to get their hands on an Xbox 360 has seen and knows about the infamous Power Supply Unit (PSU). Basically, its about the same size as the original Xbox. Now, this thing, this PSU, gets VERY hot. Thats it's POINT! The "defective" rate of this unit is about 3-4%. And I guarantee that the reason people are having overheating issues (the 3-4%) is because they burried this thing under 500 lbs. of wire and cable, behind their entertainment unit, shoved against the wall, sitting on very thick shag carpeting.

I hope this douche wastes 1000's and 1000's and 1000's of dollars, or gets fined for wasting a judges time.
