But she spilled it backwards into her lap burning her privates (including her perineum , good lord that would hurt!) as well as her butt-cheeks. I wonder, did they use photographic means to prove it in court or did they just ask her to drop her pants in front of the jury.

You're right, McDonald's should have just paid her off for being so smart as to sue for being a fucking idiot.Then the price of hamburgers would go up. Oh wait, isn't that what we're worried about with the eBay thing?I don't care if eBay stays or goes. But the fact is, they make NO ATTEMPT to be accountable for what goes on. If they even made a decent attempt, I'd be fine with that.
