Summary: An attorney recently had his court case against Popeye's Chicken dropped. He accused and was attempting to sue Popeye's after he supposedly choked on their chicken. According to his story, the drive thru didn't give him a plastic knife with his meal, even though he specifically asked for one. Because of this, he was forced to eat his chicken with only his hands and his teeth. This eventually caused him to choke on the piece of chicken. The lawsuit then claimed that the man, Newton, underwent emergency surgery. After a period of time, he decided to drop the lawsuit because he was receiving a lot of "hate mail."
Analysis: This article was written last week, November 3, 2016. Unfortunately, I had no prior knowledge of this event until now, and I'm glad I didn't. This, to me, is just incredibly stupid. The author seems to have no bias, and personally I think he wrote this article to just lighten up the mood of the public. Everything you see is about the stressful and intense 2016 election, and I'm kind of glad we see a bit of comic relief in the news.
Synthesis: This really reminds me of a discussion we had in class this past week. We talked about how the people of the 1800's thought slavery was a good and prosperous idea, however it's obvious to most that's it's just cruel and awful and a terrible idea. I mean really, did this man expect to get money from Popeye's after choking on his chicken? There wasn't even any true evidence, from what we know of. It's just reminds me after this event, slavery, and Trump being elected, there are still plenty of dumb people in the world.

This is absolutely ridiculous, but in a comical way.It is definitely not Popeye's fault that he chocked on a piece of their chicken. Is there even evidence that he choked on their chicken in the first place?
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. Something to remember at this time, especially: The average American is pretty dumb. And half of Americans are dumber than the average American.

I don't know what lawyer would defend this insane man thats just crazy. I loved this article it really does show the importance of education and for people to know more and be less ignorant.
ReplyDeleteThis is crazy! It clearly was his fault that he choked. Clearly, he will not win this battle!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how this man thinks he has a chance of winning this case. Why would he spend all that money on a lawyer for something like this?
ReplyDeleteI agree, this is very ridiculous, Who has the time and money to waste on this? However I am glad there was something written that was comical in this very stressful time.
ReplyDeletewow, its crazy to see how people just blame others for stuff like this. It clearly is his fault for this,but this helps make and or calm everyone down because of the events that occurred.
