I don't remember if this has been posted before, but here is the link to this years "Stella Awards".
http://www.stellaawards.com/2003.htm
These awards came about as a result of the infamous 'McDonalds Coffee' suit where Stella Liebeck of Albuquerque, New Mexico sued McDonalds in February 1992. She eventually won $200,000 in compensatory damages, plus $2.7 million in punitive damages. This award was subsequently reduced the punitive award to ONLY $480,000. This example of stupid and inane lawsuits grew to become the annual 'Stella Awards".
