Blizzard Sued By South Carolina Inmate
Benjamin Duranske writes "Jonathan Lee Riches, an inmate in South Carolina famous for filing long, handwritten, rambling screeds against celebrities, politicians, and even buildings, has filed a third-party motion in Federal Court in Arizona in the MDY v. Blizzard botting case claiming that Blizzard's World of Warcraft 'caused Riches mind to live in a virtual universe, where Riches explored the landscape committing identity theft and fighting cybermonster rival hacker gangs. Riches was addicted to video games and lost touch with reality because of defendants. This caused Riches to commit fraud to buy defendants video games. Riches chose World of Warcraft over working a legit job, Riches mind became a living video game.'"

Can the judge sue Riches for being driven from having to read such drivel?

Well, I always thought Al Jazeera and Bumble Bee Tuna were connected somehow.
Finally, proof.
He also sued Hurricane Katrina
I'd like to sue the game Dead or Alive. I can no longer perform sexually unless my girlfriend wears tight clothes and high kicks me repeatedly in the groin.
Now we can get back to the quality stories that Slashdot is known for.
Most people forget that important little "Home Depot" bridge between the two...
Common mistake. Don't beat yourself up about it.
The Da Vinci Code? Magna Carta? Statue of Liberty? Miles O'Brien? George W Bush?
He's suing inanimate objects and fictional characters? Good luck with that!
When our name is on the back of your car, we're behind you all the way!
Can a judge just say "fuck off already" to this kind of crap?
Talk about a campaign slogan. Vote Judge Common F. Sense in 2008! If you don't like it, fuck off!
I'd sure as hell vote for him.

George W Bush is a fictional character? That explains so much and is a great relief at the same time.
No, that was one of the inanimate objects.

Looks like Pluto is off the hook. He calls it a "Planet".
Lawyers don't play the Kevin Bacon game anymore, they play the 1 degree of separation to Jonathan Lee Riches game.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it!
I should sue /. for forcing me to live in a fantasy universe where my input is considered, alternately, funny, insightful or merely overrated.
The CB App. What's your 20?
I guess that's why he was suing GWB, since Bush used the weather machine to create Hurricane Katrina.
He must be lonely in prison.
Maybe we can arrange for him to get a new friend...
My favorite quote doesn't fit into 120 characters. Now no one will like me.
If he wants to sue Blizzard at least sue them for a real crime, like the warcraft reputation system.

Isn't that when Sarah Palin will run for President? Perhaps she needs a running mate?
Apparently he doesn't realize that when google lawbot indexes this, it is gonna toss out all these random keywords, right?
Or is there some secret message in there somewhere?

I'm not sure what "Jewish Mossad" is though. Is there a "Hindu Mossad"?
Yes, there is. They are not as good at intelligence, but their song and dance routines are legendary.

I wonder if he could be transferred to an Alaska prison...
Nah. Just put him in a cell with an ex-lawyer from Florida.
That would be classified as cruel and unusual punishment...
Life is complex, with real and imaginary parts.
Yeah, but against which one?
