NOW HIRING LOSERS......ERRRR WINNERS

If you dont know the details of this story give it a look....

There is apparently now two different ways to avoid the "hard work" section of achieving the American Dream. There is the old method of buying a lottery ticket and hoping your numbers come up, or for people too stupid to choose six numbers you can just sue McDonald's. First we get the fool who doesn't realize coffee is in general served too warm to pour on your lap, then we get the idiot who apparently didn't realize an egg McMuffin for breakfast, Big Mac for Lunch and two quarter pounders for dinner might make you a bit overweight, and now this case which takes stupidity to a whole new level.
And a jury right here in my home state of Kentucky hit McDonald's with a verdict that will require them to pay over six million dollars to these fools. And my favorite part...the woman who I would say is to blame for the entire incident gets 1.1 million dollars of that verdict. A person so stupid she believed a police officer would call your place of business and have you strip search a young female employee in your office, then ask you to call your fiancee who doesn't even work at McDonald's to continue the questioning while you serve Happy Meals has just been declared a victim by a group of twelve citizens. Please never let me have the misfortune of being judged by an American jury.
And what about the young victim? I suppose you have to feel a certain amount of sympathy for someone who was sexually abused by a stranger in a McDonald's backroom. No wait. Do you? Are there seriously people in the world who would go through with this? I work with young people her age every day. Most of the time you even ask them to stop talking in class they want to know "Why are you talking to Me"...."that person is talking," etc. etc. etc. They have no respect for authority. They question you constantly. But you are telling me that just ten minutes up the interstate there exist teens who when ordered by an adult who is taking their orders from a stranger on the phone, will remove all their clothes, get spanked, and perform a sex act. This is unbelievable.
And their reward for a total lack of common sense and judgement. They are now set for life. They will never have to work in a McDonald's again. Meanwhile the McDonald's managers better learn to read because my guess is that employee handbook has a new edition coming with about 1,000 new pages covering every conceivable ignorant act an employee may engage in while on duty at a McD's. If McDonald's is at fault for anything it is hiring one really stupid manager. The worst offense against the victim was not even perpetrated by their employee. How can this be their fault.
The arguement for the plaintiff was that McDonald's had an obligation to warn all employees of this scam because apparently there may have been as many as forty of these hoaxes acted out in other McDonald's restaurants. Forty people fell for this? And then twelve people decided this was the company's fault? Someone asked me after my rant last week if I thought in the future there were going to be a lot of stupid people in the world. Ummmmm.

BO KNOWS Brian Brohm is probably wishing he had taken the millions right about now. And Coach Kragthorpe is probably wishing he didn't.

BO KNOWS I was almost ready to drink the UK football Kool-Aid but they blew it at South Carolina. I stand by my statement of a few weeks ago. Brooks has taken the Wildcats to heights of success they haven't seen in 30 years. A number eight ranking was great, but some people probably got a little carried away. Lets see how they feel after three straight losses.

FOOTBALL SUNDAY

Bo goes 3-2 last week to keep a reasonable record of 11-8. Week 5 awaits....

BO KNOWS The Bitches 4-0 start has been impressive but Palmer is on bye, Burress is hurting again and apparently God has Jon Kitna on his fantasy team so the Cheese will win.

BO KNOWS Somebody has to win the battle of the winless between The James Gang and Eye of the Tiger. Lets see Tiger has two of the top four running backs in the league and The Gang has two running backs in the league. Tiger wins.

BO KNOWS The Juice fell from the ranks of the unbeaten last week. The All Stars three wide line-up is less than impressive but The Juice has Harrison and Ocho Cinco out and LenDale White starting. The Juice fall further back into the pack.

BO KNOWS The Sith will have a hard time overcoming the loss of three starters on BYE this week. I doubt if you see many fantasy showdowns between Jason Campbell and Jeff Garcia this season but this one will go to Campbell and the Dullards.

BO KNOWS The Griz will miss their best scorer Lamont Jordan who is on BYE this week but they get a good match-up against a Bs squad going three wide and missing their number one ranked D. The Griz will take a close one.

We end this week with a message for EYE OF THE TIGER
