Oops! Not Looking Good For The Wal-Mart Lady

Helpful things to keep in mind. If you're going to go after a store like Wal-Mart, it is not a good idea to have the media figure out that you've sued 16 times in the past.

It's kind of sad that she has turned herself into a professional victim. It's even more sad that in her scams she seems to be netting around $400. A good scam artist would at least figure out how to get something worthwhile out of the deal.

I'm starting to believe that this woman should be the poster child for punishing filers of frivolous lawsuits. I'm not going to comment on the accuracy or legitimacy of this complaint - my mother was trying to get the same DVD at another WalMart and had a less than stellar experience - but I really have to believe that this lady is gaming the system. She's been so obvious that she had one case thrown out in 10 minutes.

What this woman did was shameful. She managed not only to bring the glare of the spotlight on WalMart (that in and of itself is not a bad thing - the way they conducted the sale was deplorable - but her method was wrong), but she has given rise to the whole "Christmas is too commercialized" crowd. She became their poster child.

It's time to make her another.
