If you talk to foreigners they have this impression that Americans just go around suing people just because they can. In a way these perceptions of America are correct since most cases distort the role of the victim and perpetrator. Think of Mcdonalds and the fat guy, blaming McDonalds for his obesity and actually winning the case...

I expect Colbert, The Daily Show, and SNL to be chiming in any minute now. In fact, in the blogosphere, the parodies have already begun.
