Judge Trips Up Settlement In Hot Coffee Class-Action

GamePolitics is reporting that a judge has put another substantial hurdle in the Hot Coffee class-action case. Claiming that individuals involved in the suit could be affected differently by laws in their respective states, Judge Shirley Wohl Kram declared that this case could not be resolved by a single proceeding. "'Accordingly, the court decertifies the settlement class on the grounds that common issues do not predominate over individualized issues,' the judge wrote. The judge's latest decision undermines a settlement agreement reached between lawyers for purchasers of the game who contended they were offended by the hidden scenes, on the one hand, and lawyers for the game's makers, Take-Two Interactive Software and Rockstar Games."

I thought that McDonald's case was resolved years ago.

What if they forgot to mention that Ron Jeremy was one of the stars? I think you could have sued for that....

It's obvious what needs to happen here.

Find the judge's car and stand in front of it. When he stops his car- and he will, walk over to the door, pull it open, then throw the judge on the ground. Then, drive around until you find a hooker. Sex with her will put you in perfect health... and if the cops get on your tail, just drive around for a while and they'll forget about you.
