What the hell? You can file a lawsuit based on the possibility that something could be shown if modded? Thats too much of a IF for this shit. Jack Thompson can go to hell.

oh the irony behind the name 'hot coffee'. it reminds me of that mcdonalds (or was it dunks?) frivolous lawsuit a few years back when some moron burned them self with coffee and felt it necessary to sue because the cup didn't have a warning label.

seriously, anyone who was "offended and upset" or "outraged" needs to get a life. its an M rated game, the equivalent of an R rating on a movie. there is much more visual stuff on tv every day and in most movies.

Lame,

Just like the Xbox Live lawsuit, only the layers win; No one else. This will only lead to more expensive games, or future game budgets being slashed resulting in buggy games.

Laywers are just theives embedded in legal avenues.

The American judicial system really needs to be analyzed, scrutinized, and then repaired/restructured to prevent frivolous lawsuits such as these.

From what i remember she burnt the absolute shit out of her nether region and supposedly had no feeling down there whatsoever.She didn't get the ammount of money that the jury wanted her to win, the judge cut it into 1/4 or thereabouts.

But yep, only in America.

Now thats some freaky way to drink McD coffee right there...

lol, this is awesome. Out of all the time and effort wasted on the lawsuit, people only get the ability to have a partial refund, which is not even worth the effort to claim.
