Frivolous lawsuits have a new king, and it's not Pants Man!

And here I thought Roy Pearson, famous for his missing pants lawsuit, was the king of frivolous lawsuits! According to this Yahoo article, he's pretty much been trumped. Because the most frivolous lawsuit has now been filed in the state of Nebraska . . . against God! It was apparently done to make a point that lawsuits have become so frivolous that anyone and anything can be sued.

Personally, I'm reacting not with ha-ha laughter to this. Rather, my response is more cynical. Why? Because there's nothing really newsworthy here. Lawsuits have become overwrought and frivolous in this society, and that realization is about as shocking (to coin Will's famous phrase) as the sun coming up in the east.

My thoughts on the matter: realizing that litigation and lawsuits have gotten this out of hand, don't file frivolous ones to prove a point. Instead, as a society, let's all use some common sense, assume some responsibility and accountability, lessen our sense of entitlement—and more than anything else, cut the crap.
