<description>&lt;p&gt;I find every one of these comments utterly repulsive and unpatriotic especially so close to this nation independence. I bet 
Rory Beer is a fine blond blue eyed red blooded American as in these colors don&apos;t bleeeeeeed!

I think we should punish Bar Chicago with a smart missal air to ground strike. Take out not only the whole bar but the whole neighborhood including Lincoln Park!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey, I was dancing on a stage at a bar a year ago, fell off because of the bright lights and twisted my ankle!! Why didn&apos;t I think to sue? I just thought I was being a drunk who got what she deserved for doing something stupid. But I could have gotten PAID? Harummph. Darn brain.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;They could line up the great-party-throwing midgets in front of the bar to catch the falling drunk girls while not blocking the view of the douchebags who want to ogle the bar dancing girls...&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I mean, seriously?  She had her last name changed to &quot;Beer&quot; and we&apos;re supposed to believe she wasn&apos;t aware of the dangers of dancing on a bar while intoxicated?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;As stupid as this woman is, letting people dance on the bar is an incredibly stupid thing for a bar to allow.

Can you say &quot;just begging for a lawsuit?&quot;

So, Bar Chicago, this Dee Dee Dee is for you!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Okay, here is how we should solve this (and other similar matters). Each party should put up $25k. This would be the prize pool for the ensuing boxing match between Mrs. Beer and Mrs. Representative-of-the-idiot-bar. Winner takes all. All revenue from the televising of said event would be given to CPS to help raise the next generation to be smarter than these asshats.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Ingrid:  oh, no doubt.  i&apos;d love to see JJ give her a vicious tongue-lashing.  and oh god, NOT in that sense.  yech.

you know.. technically she&apos;s still defied Darwin, since a leg injury would (presumably) not cancel out procreation.  that can be easily remedied.  i&apos;ll bring the tongs if someone brings the hot coals.

(disclaimer for the humor-impaired:  joking has taken place above)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;If her lawsuit fails, she could sue Bar Chicago on behalf of some insect rights organization, for sending smokers outside and encouraging citizens to give cockroaches cancer.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Shannon,
Sure, it&apos;s out of JJ&apos;s range...but I was just saying that I would love to see JJ rip this woman&apos;s head off.
It&apos;s just getting sickening how so many people do really stupid shit and then they expect someone else to pay for it.

I mean, seriously...if I got up on some bar to dance and then fell off the bar, I would slither out and hide my head in shame for the rest of my life! I wouldn&apos;t bring attention to my sorry ass self by filing a lawsuit that just illustrated my stupidity (and clumsiness).

We need more judges like Judy to start calling these idiots on their shit.
And that&apos;s one thing about Judy...she does not take any shit. 
I just watched a video of her this morning at www.jezebel.com and it was awesome. She obliterated a family who was trying to sue a cop because he stopped them for speeding and made them feel bad.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Ingrid:  i think the denomination&apos;s a little high for Judge Judy.  isn&apos;t it just small claims court?  i agree that it meets the spirit if not the rules...&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I think she should take her case to Judge Judy.

That&apos;s a bitch slapping that I would love to see.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;You would think that, for the period while they are being sued, they would remove any references to dancing on the bar from their website.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;in this day and age, the bar should at least have a disclaimer.  common sense just ain&apos;t that common, especially post-intoxication.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
