    That's a brilliantly done piece – it's just a shame that it is true. Definitely passing it on.

    Alright, I just want to say, this case is like super wrongfully attributed as bullshit.
    The Actual Facts about the Mcdonalds' Coffee Case READ ( I know you didn't write this or anything, Lucy, I just want to make sure people aren't just blindly agreeing with everything this paper wrote xD)

    The lady was 79 years old. The Coffee was way hotter than it should've been because McDonalds was trying to cut corners. There are pictures of this woman's lower body extremely badly burned. It wasn't a little wimpy coffee. That doesn't give you third degree burns.

    Just saying.

    That article is a little light on the details, which is ok. It is important to remember there are 3 sides to every lawsuit. The plaintiff's story, the defendants story, and what really happened. Though with events such as theses it is sensationalized that we will never know what really happened.

    Of course this is apropos to the thread. If folks still had common sense they would know when the media/politicians are sensationalizing a story.

    I don't understand the statement that the coffee was significantly hotter than what you make at home. I mean, I make my coffee with boiling water and no matter what they add to it, McDonalds surely haven't found the way to use superheated water in their coffee. Taking a cup of fresh hot beverage and setting it between your thighs while tugging at its lid is blatantly poor judgement. No common sense there.

    Hasn't the "People are stupid, why can't they have common sense like me" sentiment been pretty commonplace since, like, forever?
