$28 Billion Cigarette?
 

A 64-year old woman sued Philip Morris (the tobaco company) for $28 BILLION usd since she got lung cancer, and they hadn't "marked their cigarettes with enough warning labels". She won the case, so now she is about half as rich as Bill Gates.

Seriously, there are millions of people who have contracted lung cancer from tobaco, so why should she ALONE get that much money?

She prolly sucked the judges... yea why should she ALONE get that much money?

It's always old people that win the lottery

Well, that isnt exactly fair, but what can you do..

it does seem like it
prolly cuz they always play it...

ya, but damn... this is why i took law, because now i can pull shit liek that left right and centre if i look into things, i can find flaws in many things...

Heh, good old law..

she alone got it cause she filed the lawsuit

Thats crazy........

Well, let's all take up smoking and become billionares!

lol.....If I was the judge I would have said.....Heh, you were stupid to start smoking in the first place, you get $1 from the tobacco company.

id get lung cancer for that much cash

Thats exatcly right, it just shows how lazy and stupid american legel systems can be at times. Shes not the only fat person that contract lung cancer cause there white trash ass diddnt read the package and are just now saying "UHHH lung CANCER? wtf is cancer and why do i have it" . In fact, they should pay the governement for being so dam stupid, and the govt. should use that money to go door to door and tell every fucking person that ciggerates are bad. And then if someone trys to sue, we can punch them really hard in the face for being stupid.

Aren't you making $4,000 a week at home depot?

Agreed

But the guys who would go around punching people in the face would have to be government employees, right? Medical benefits, dental, okay pay.. It would be an interesting job to apply for.

i would go for that job...
and i would get metal teeth like Jaws did in MoonRaker...ohh the wonders of a dental plan

He can bite through a padlock!

gotta dissagree penguin
i look at it this way
shes unfortunate because she got the cancer but
smart/smooth/how many other words can discribe her because she cashed in
i think she is smart i dont think a fat retard (grav) would be abl,e to pull that much money from this incident

WRONG, her lawyers were smart, ALL SHE DID WAS GOTO A LAWYERS OFFICE and say "I got cancer gimme money" a week later she has money, absolutly NO other work put into it, AT ALL!

right but dont hate HER she got money the easy way thats what we need to do

haha i hope that bitch dies

WTFM why does she get that cash, she'z gonna die from it nyways, like she better like give me some goddamn

28 billion seems a bit far fetched, are u guys sure that's the right amount?

I think it might be more like 28 million, or 28 thousand.

Now you guys now if you where in her
situation, and you had the opportunity to gain that much money
you would go for it....

am i wrong?????
i would put my pride to the side for $28billion
dont be mad at her cause she made the effort in
trying to sue PM and won,

BTW IM sure it took way more then a week

I agree with Penguin whole-heartedly...PENGUIN FOR PRESIDENT!

education for yall : a 28 million dollar SETTLEMENT means the bitch hasta pay the lawyers... the taxes... and it comesin small payment slike the lottery... shes doesnt get 28 million... more like 10... also if u get all her hospital bills plus the extra money they add on for lost wages mental health etc etc she deserves it... NICOTINE IS TEH DEVIL!!!
-nate

Correction: It is a $28,000,000,000 settlement.

I've been told that the cigarette companies have put many more addvertisments on the packages because of this. So anyone who sues them for money can't win becasue they had warning labels on the box. So thats why no one else is doing it.
