It wasn't an uncommonly stupid idea to put an average cup of coffee between her legs. She was not given a thermometer with it, however, so she didn't know it was as hot as it was.

The whole point is exactly how badly she was burned!

I challenge you to brew a cup of coffee at home, pour it in one of those foam cups, set it in your crotch area while sitting in the car and proceed to the exact actions she exercised with it. THEN tell me it doesn't matter and that the main argument is HOW HOT the damn coffee is!

Come on...please


Wait...let me balance a butcher knife on my nose only to have it tilt towards the ground and have it penetrate my foot. OH, it's the company's fault for not having well balanced the blade and shaft properly causing the faulty equilibrium.


Can you all imagine how loud a debate this would be at the local pub...LOL!

Proof of the death of common Sense...

People arguing over a case that is long over with. & arguing over about 30 or 40 degrees & the % of responsability each party should assume

no ones saying the woman wasnt stupid, she most certaintly was. The issue was that because of the uncommon and dangerous way mcdonalds heated there coffee, the woman was hurt much worse than she should have been as a result of her mistake. Therefore McDonalds lost the case. No ones saying the woman doesnt lack common sense, what is being said is that the jury didnt lack common sense for awarding her a victory in the case because of McDonalds negligence.
