This article has reaffirmed my faith in the legal system, and yet at the same time made me see that we truely need torte reform. I wonder what Sebastion and the other lawyers would say about this woman's claim.
A judge has brushed off a Connecticut woman's claim that L'Oreal Inc. ruined her social life when she accidentally dyed her hair brunette with one of its products...She says she suffered headaches and anxiety, missed the attention that blondes receive and had to stay home and wear hats most of the time.
LOL@"Charlotte Feeney of Stratford said she can never return to her natural blonde hue, a shock that left her so traumatized she needed anti-depressants."
Sounds to me like she already returned.

Beauty is only skin deep, but stupid goes to the bone.
(CNN) - Nashua
In breaking news, argumentative crackpot internet know-it-all Set (link to rapsheet) sues every doctor who has ever practiced in the USA, the US government, and a random sampling of HMOs, because his anti-measles/mumps vaccination as a child left him with an unsightly disfiguring lumpish scar on his upper arm, rendering him incapable of wearing a sleeveless shirt without showing off what his lawyers refer to as a 'hideous deformity.' He is suing for 14 million dollars for mental trauma, the cost of every long-sleeved shirt he's ever purchased, pain and suffering (those injections hurt!), child endangerment (you can actually get sick from the 'mostly-dead' germs!) and the cost of the number of nights with high-priced call girls he'd need to make up for all of the sex he missed out on due to his shame over his freakish condition. Questioned about the case, Supreme Court Justice Antonin 'Tito' Scalia was reported to have said, 'Get my gun. We got another one comin' in.'

Now if only she had been made to pay for all the attorney fees as well...
Here in Virginia, the Rules of Professional Conduct that govern the practice of law preclude a lawyer from bringing a frivolous lawsuit. If she came to my office and asked me to take her case, I would have explained exactly that to her, and promptly showed her the door.
I can't belive it... I don't even know what to say... jeeeez...

Just out of curiousity, what constitutes a frivolous lawsuit? Clearly this is one, but is there an actual definition?

According to this Nebraska senator, there is no such thing as a frivolous lawsuit.
