Self-responsibility has been declining for decades in the western world...but these kind of things are just ridiculous.

CHICAGO - I'd like to tell Michael Strauss something about
onion rings. Like most food, when onion rings are just
cooked - they are HOT. So, you might want to be careful when
you first bite into them. Well, Michael Strauss, the idiot
that he is, bit into an onion ring from White Castle two
years ago and apparently "scalding hot grease splattered out
and onto" his arm, "scalding and severely burning him." He
has now filed suit against White Castle, asking for over
$50,000 for the "severe and permanent injuries" he suffered
after ordering White Castle "onion rings that were in an
unreasonably dangerous and defective condition." This suit
comes almost 10 years after a jury awarded more than $2
million to a woman who sued McDonald's after scalding hot
coffee spilled in her lap. You know, I'm really sick of
these people who don't understand that food and coffee are
hot! Where is the common sense, folks?
Some people just need to be punched square in the nose once in a while.
