Say What?

During one of the morning sports flashes on our local sports news/talk radio stations, the announcer for national news said that Tom & Gisele Brady (Bundchen) have been served a lawsuit for $1 million for "negligently hiring" a security team for their wedding. Apparently, and allegedly, one or more of the security team fired at paparazzi during a post-wedding party in Costa Rica.

None of the soul-stealing sleeze weasels were hit, but it was, of course, a very traumatic experience for them which caused "mental harm."

Now, please look at the basis of the lawsuit in the first paragraph.

Negligently hiring.

Think about that for a minute.

Negligently hiring.

So, according to the lawsuit, Tom & Gisele Brady (Bundchen) were negligent when they hired a security team to make their nuptials and post-nuptial celebration as private as possible.

In a perfect world, a judge would look at this for one second and toss it out with some sort of reprimand for the "injurees" seeking a nice pay day.

But given some of the decisions handed down by those who wear the robe over the last fifty or so years, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see this go through.

What a country!

On October 12, 2009, you made a bold prediction. As it is time-stamped, we'll see what sort of prognosticator you are. :-) Hi Maureen, Jeff
