Poster case

Okay, now if this isn't a perfect example of a b.s. frivolous lawsuit, I don't know what it. Aitken has seen "Fear Factor" often, so he knows the show gets disgusting. But for some reason he decides that they were so out of line showing people eating pureed rats that he feels he's entitled to $2.5 million. He claims he's just "trying to send a message" and isn't interested in the money. What a load. The way you send a message like this is by turning off your TV . . . by sending your concerns to advertisers . . . by filing a complaint with the FCC. Filing a $2.5 million lawsuit means you want money, nothing more. He knew what to expect when he tuned into the show. He had the option of not watching it. And at most, his nausea and headache (from walking himself into a wall) is worth $10, if that. Not only should this case be thrown out, it is a prime example of a situation in which the plaintiff (Aitken) should be forced to pay any and all legal costs of the defandant (NBC/Fear Factor) because of the pure frivolity of the suit.
