by Decius at 4:51 pm EST, Dec 5, 2003 |
] You may recall our post on Monday about a Florida woman
] who was trampled in a mad stampede of people scrambling
] to buy a $30 DVD player at the local Wal-Mart. It was one
] of those stories that perfectly symbolized our nation's
] unhealthy obsession with shopping, right? Well, we might
] be unheathily obsessed with shopping, but there is
] growing evidence that the woman, who is a "frequent
] faller" who has managed to injure herself nine times
] before at various Wal-Marts around Florida, is faking it.
] Over the years she's also filed injury claims against six
] other businesses, as well Not only are we unheathily obsessed with shopping, we are also unheathily obsessed with liability!! |
