Dumbest lawsuits ever

     We all heard of frivolous lawsuits, lawsuits that from the start have little to no chance of winning mostly due to their lack of legal merit and their absurdity, but things go way beyond with some cases that simply redefine the word ridiculous. Here are some of this cases:

Man vs Jackass 

      Former Bob Craft from Montana , changed his name to Jack Ass in 1997 to raise awareness, he says about the dangers of drunk driving.  He most probably had a shock when a TV show with the same name was aired in 2000 on MTV featuring a group of young men doing some dangerous stunts , so he did what any reasonable man would do - sued the heck out of them for 10 million dollars. He motivated his actions by saying that they stoled his name and defamed his good character.
     Now let's digest that for a moment. There's this guy changing his name to Jack Ass and then claiming somebody defamed his good character. I guess he was really making the term "jackass" a respectable name before MTV came along.

Christopher Roller vs Magicians

     We all love magic tricks and magicians. They challenge our imagination with their fantastic numbers but in the end we all know it's all just an illusion. Or is it?  Christopher Roller from  Minnesota claims otherwise as he believes the old "hand is quicker than the eye" does not apply to famous performers David Blaine and David Copperfield who may in fact , as he claims , use godly powers. He demands that they reveal their secrets or pay him 10% of their income for life. Why? Because, as he states he is actually God and those pesky magicians are using his power. And I thought it was all just smoke and mirrors.

Women vs Police...dog?

Police brutality is a serious matter and people are entitled to defend themselves and bring those responsible in court unless those responsible require a leash. This is a case of a woman in  Detroit who was bitten by a police dog . Most probably she could have had a strong case here unless she decided to file her suit against poor agent K9 Scruffy himself. The judge dismissed the lawsuit as being frivolous and also fined the plaintiff .
Talking about things that turn around and bite you in the...

Man Vs Anheuser-Busch

This one is a classic. We all find ourselves being influenced by ads on TV into buying some products promising to make our life better, but a man in Michigan really got a rough deal. In 1990, a Budweiser ad showed two beautiful women appearing from thin air in front of two truck drivers after they consumed the mentioned beer. Our guy went ahead and bought a case of beer, drank it, but surprise, no woman materialized in front of him. He sued the company for false advertising, but the court dismissed the suit. Weird enough last time I drank a full case of beer I saw two women in front of me. Unfortunately they were my girlfriend and they weren't very happy.

Man vs Himself

You know those moments when you do something really stupid and just want to punch yourself in the the face? Well Robert Lee Brock imprisoned for grand larceny and breaking-and-entering went a step ahead and tried to sue himself . Robert claimed that he was drunk at the time he committed those crimes which he states , was against his religious beliefs.He claimed he had violated his civil liberties and sued himself for 5 million bucks. Unfortunately as he was imprisoned at the time and unable to produce an income he demanded that the state should pay him the sum.
Still a better  use of tax -payers money than what we see today.


There you have it , some of the most ridiculous lawsuits of all time. Let me know if you liked this article in the comment section bellow and if you want me to continue the list.
