Let kids be kids

On John Gormley this morning they were talking about how they have banned tag and touch football during recess in some schools in the states. The reason, kids were getting hurt and parents were suing the school. Makes me glad that we live in Canada where not every other ad on tv is for Sam Bernstein or Jim 'the hammer' Shapiro, who want to get you "the money YOU deserve" if you've been hurt. Weird Al released a new album a week or so ago (it's a good one!!)and one of the songs on there is called I'll Sue Ya and it makes me smile because it is so true! Here are the lyrics:

I sued Taco Bell'
Cause I ate half-a-million Chalupas and I got fat
I sued Panasonic
They never said I shouldn't use their microwave to dry off my cat, huh
I sued Earthlink
'Cause I called 'em up and they had the nerve to put me on hold
I sued Starbucks
'Cause I spilled a frappucino in my lap and brr, it was cold

I sued Toys 'R Us
Cause I swallowed a Nerf ball and nearly choked to death, huh
I sued PetCo
'Cause I ate a bag of kitty litter and now I got bad breath
I sued Coca-Cola, yo'
Cause I put my finger down in a bottle and it got stuck
I sued Delta Airlines
'Cause they sold me a ticket to New Jersey - I went there, and it sucked

YeahIf you stand me up on a date
If you deliver my pizza thirty seconds late
I'm gonna sue, sue, yes, I'm gonna sue
Sue, sue, yeah, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna sue, sue, yes, I'm gonna sue
Sue, sue, yeah, I might even sue youUghh

I sued Duracell
They never told me not to shove that double-A right up my nose
I sued Home Depot
'Cause they sold me a hammer which they knew I might drop on my toes
I sued Dell Compueters
'Cause I took a bath with my laptop, now it doesn't work
I sued Fruit Of The Loom
'Cause when I wear my tighty-whities on my head I look like a jerk

I sued Verizon
'Cause I get all depressed every time my cell phone is roaming
I sued Colorado
'Cause you know, I think it looks a little bit too much like Wyoming

I sued Neiman Marcus
'Cause they put up their Christmas decorations way out of season
I sued Ben Affleck
Aww, do I even need a reason?Uhh

If I sprain my ankle while I'm robbin' your place
If I hurt my knuckles while I punch you in the face
I'm gonna sue, sue, yes, I'm gonna sue
Sue, sue, yeah, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna sue, sue, yes, I'm gonna sue
Sue, sue, that's right, I'm gonna sue
