The West Virginia Record via U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform
"When [the plaintiff] isn’t dining out, he seems to enjoy social media. He has two “favorites” on his personal Facebook page: a page for his company, Acey Renovations, and another page which seems dedicated to a certain part of the female anatomy.
Extenuating circumstances or not, if the hostess called Acey an idiot, she shouldn’t have. However, the fact remains that Acey was not satisfied by a manager’s apology or an offer of a free meal and is now suing for compensatory and punitive damages – for being called something that one could argue may not have been far from the mark."

More on silly suits at this site: Never a shortage of ridiculous lawsuits in U.S. courts "But sometimes even dismissals can pay off for trial lawyers. After a California judge found a class-action claim against Volkswagen meritless, plaintiffs' attorneys tweaked the complaint. Weary of the court battle, VW finally settled. The attorneys received about $500,000 in fees, the plaintiffs received zilch. What a system." Follow the money.
