Strange Brew by John Deering for April 10, 2024

He bought from Mr. Acme face-to-face?

If Elon Musk loses enough lawsuits, will he offer for sale gold-colored rocket skates?

The packaging clearly stated that they may fly off in a random direction and explode.

Tiny Tunes did a wonderful bit on the coyote suing Acme.

Acme, a wholly owned subsidiary of Boeing.

Beep Beep!

The skates weren’t defective. The problem was those JATO rockets that propelled him into the cliff side.

Give him a minute Wile E. thinks of a response.

Ha! Litigation will be the death of humor,

Search “desert storm” “tom smith” on YouTube for an interesting take on Wile E.’s point of view.

It was a company, ACME, not a man. I’ve always assumed the majority shareholder was a road runner.

ACME was a mail-order company with an incredible delivery service.

It was some guy from Ace Hardware.

That one there – the one who works for ACME.

This case is going to be in court for years, as they litigate over responsibility. Did Acme manufacture defective products, or did Wile E. Coyote use them recklessly?

Wile E. Coyote v. ACME: the shortest product liability lawsuit on record. After viewing the copious evidentiary videos, the jury found in Mr. Coyote’s favor in mere minutes and awarded him compensatory and punitive damages.
