a woman is suing CEC for $5 million because she believes that CEC has machines that resmeble routlette and slot machines, which are illegal in California

[HotelKatz]

Next thing you know, someone will sue a person because their shirt has a picture of a slot machine.

[Greenday]

It's cool it's totally not about the money.

Now give me $5,000,000!

[mikoyan29]

I guess people will sue about anything these days.

[Andara Bledin]

Ugh. Practically every arcade in existence has ticket games; it's usually the only thing that keep the places operating.

If a parent were good, they'd teach their kids about gambling and about how, unless they were either really good at a game, or really lucky, they could save the money and buy the item they want at the prize counter for less than it would cost to play for it.

I like how the last line of the article is quoting another mother who hopes the woman doesn't "fuck it up" for other parents to rely on CEC to be a place they can go and have a couple of drinks with the kids and not worry so much about them.

^-.-^

I love Skee Ball. The tickets are just proof you've gotten good at it.

And if you're God, you give the tickets away to kids.

Can I get a holey bartender instead.

I showed this to my sister and now we know where we're taking my niece for her birthday, that and we haven't been there since we were kids.

Be sure to carry some all purpose banaca with you, just in case.

And be sure to cover your ears unless you are dead or from another plane of existence.

Oh and...stay in Wisconsin.

Geez, people sue for anything these days. It's just a kiddie game place, for fuck's sake!

[MrsEclipse]

My favorite part:

"[Chuck E. Cheese Attorneys] also contend that even if the games were illegal, then Keller would be an admitted participant in illegal gambling and therefore barred from seeking damages and restitution."

SNAP, Keller. Snap.

Fun fact: apparaently Jason Mewes (as in the Jay from Jay and Silent Bob) wound up memorizing the ENTIRE dialogue for the film (not just his character but every single character), because Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) warned him that they'd be working with "real actors" (i.e. Alan Rickman).

Going somewhat OT here...

The same thing happened to me anytime I was in a school play. I didn't intend to memorize the other people's lines, it just kind of happened. One of the funniest moments was during a rehearsal, when my character had just left the stage. One of the other actors forgot his line, and I shouted it to him from offstage. The entire cast, and even the teacher, were all rolling.
