In some instances the jury should be sued -- or isn't that absurd enough!

5th place. I can't believe that anyone anywhere would think that this ***hole is entitled to anything! Should we start leaving sandwiches and cookies out for the burglars? If I were the homeowner in that case I would leave the country and disappear, there is no way I would pay someone for breaking into my house. >:(

The 4th place guy should be shot repeatedly with a pellet gun... in the buttocks.

And I'm sorry, but I don't believe no. 1. That has to be one of the oldest urban legends, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if they were all urban legends.

Sorry to poop on your thread DONTREAD~ but these kind of lawsuits are one of the things that piss me off to no end.

Not wishing to burst your bubble but this has been circulating the Internet for years. There is no truth in any of it.

Stella Awards website

May it please the court: Many stories are going around the 'net saying they are "The Stella Awards". Many of these stories are false, made-up, or (sometimes) true stories with false elements added to them. It makes no sense to use false examples of real problems when there are so many true examples that illustrate the actual problem.

The sad part: despite these stories having been debunked years ago, they not only still circulate, but many reporters, columnists and radio "personalities" still talk about them as if they were true, which says a lot about their professionalism. In many outrageous cases, these lazy "news" people will even link to this site as the source of these silly lies! What a ridiculous lack of standards they have!

StellaAwards.com has found no evidence to support these stories, nor has the leading urban legend debunker, Snopes.com. The bottom line: after all these years, it's completely ridiculous for individuals to be fooled by these cases, yet every year even "legitimate" newspapers run these very cases crying "Ain't it awful?", and sometimes they even attribute these old dumb jokes to us, which shows just how poorly they do when it comes to fact-checking.
