In a case that has left legal experts scratching their heads and the rest of us just scratching our heads in confusion, an American man has made headlines for attempting to sue himself for $5 million. The reason? He claimed that his own ‘reckless behavior’ caused him to violate his own civil rights and religious beliefs. It’s a legal paradox that would make even the most seasoned judge want to take an early retirement.
The lawsuit, which was predictably dismissed by a very amused (and probably exhausted) court, is a stark reminder that sometimes our own worst enemy is… well, us. If you’re looking to protect yourself from yourself (or at least keep your digital life secure from prying eyes), this high-rated personal cybersecurity and privacy protection kit is a much better investment than a frivolous self-lawsuit.
HOWE WEIRD REACTION
Howe Weird here… I’ve had some bad days, but I’ve never been ‘sue myself for five million dollars’ bad. Does he have to pay his own legal fees? Does he have to cross-examine himself in a mirror? ‘Mr. Me, isn’t it true that you were being a total weirdo on the night in question?’ I’d pay good money to see that trial. I guess the only winner here is the court stenographer who got a great story for the breakroom. Even Howe Weird couldn’t make this up.
