N64 Killed My Son!

Taken from The Register

A woman in Baton Rouge, Louisiana is suing Nintendo for "unspecified damages" after her 30-year old son died during a marathon session on his N64. the unfortunate man died after hitting his head on a table during a seizure while playing with the console.

The man first started suffering seizures after buying his N64 in 1999, but he continued playing on the console for anything up to eight hours a day, six days a week.

It's also hard to see how the woman can seriously expect to sue Nintendo for "her son's lost future earnings" when he was a thirty year old who spent 48 hours a week sat in front of the TV playing Mario.

Made me laugh. And I thought I was an addict.:D

that won't even get anywhere at all, if he's been suffering seizures from playing on the N64 for three years already, which hasn't stopped him from playing, it's inveitable that something's going to happen. absolutely ridiculous :)

[i'd also add something along the lines of 'bloody yanks', but that'd be completely undiplomatic ;)]

A 30 year old with an N64 sounds pretty worrying in itself =/

Well, Britain is going the same way, with Claims Direct and all jumping on the "let's sue" bandwagon. Depresses me sometimes.

Then I think about that fiver of mine.;)

He dropped it in front of me, I was the one who has been damaged here, having my fiver snatched away. But I think I will be coming to an out-of-court settlement about that one.
