Tell you what, I'd like to take some ridiculously hot, near boiling coffee, pour it on your crotch, and see how you handle having 3rd degree burns, and see whether you think that maybe, just maybe, you'd like to have me punished for doing so.

Actually, no, scratch that. I'd just like to take some ridiculously hot, near boiling coffee and pour it on your crotch so that we may be saved from the possibility of you breeding.

You see, this is why you are fucking retarded.

It's not just a "hot" drink.

It was brewed at a near boiling temperature. In spite of the fact that McDonald's had been warned that this was dangerous before this time, they persisted in doing so.

The woman did not merely dive right in. She, as many people do, held the coffee between her legs as she left the drive through. The coffee spilled.

Because the coffee was abnormally hot it burned her to the point where she had third degree burns necessitating skin grafts.

Read that again.

Now, are you really so fucking god damn dense that you think she was out of line for expecting some sort of payment from a corporation that had willfully ignored the danger present, to the point where she was harmed that badly? In fact, all she initially asked for was her medical expenses. Even when the trial started, she was willing to accept roughly $150k, a fraction of the amount that was eventually awarded. Do you know what they offered? $800.

Now, if you have half a brain you will say to yourself "hrrrm, maybe I was fucking wrong, and when RBJ tells me to shut up next time, I will listen before I make a fool of myself again."

I suspect however, that you're not smart enough to make that revelation yourself, so, instead, I ask that you please cauterize your fucking cock with a cup of coffee, mmmkay? Thanks.

Unfortunately, because of the writers strike, I had to run a repeat.

But don't worry, we'll be back with new episodes as soon as the producers give us a take of the internet profits.

She doesn't have a cup holder? If I go anywhere, order any HOT drink, stick it between my legs, and drive, I AM THE IDIOT! Actually driving while holding ANY drink between your legs is just stupid. You're idea of retarded and stupid is basically not agreeing with you. You use strong words to make such small points that are very well debatable. She could've just as well spilled a cold drink while trying to hold it with her legs, been shocked by how cold it was, and crashed into something. I don't care that she got burned, I care how she got burned.

'Course, RBJ only respects legal scholars that agree with him. ;)

Let's try the other side of the story...

What percentage of people have to be injured before something is considered dangerous? 1% certainly would be. How about 0.1%? 0.01%? How about 0.00000417%?

That's right, for every customer who hurt themselves with McDonald's coffee (widely reported as 700 in the decade prior), 24 million customers managed to order coffee and not get hurt. That's a fraction of the rate at which people get themselves killed driving. Stella was basically safer having coffee in a stopped car than not having coffee in a moving one. ('Course, that's a tragedy in itself, since in my view 99%+ of traffic accidents are preventable with existing technology - cars are as obsolete as horses, dammit.)

The temperature their coffee was served at is the recommended temperature for coffee to be served at by the National Coffee Association - McDonald's didn't make it up or pick a "deviant" temperature.
