Man Sues After Putting Shlong in Mousetrap!

[Krispy Kreme]

Unless I'm misunderstanding, the guy isn't suing because he did the stunt and got injured, he's suing for breach of contract.? If he's telling the truth, then he has a contract that said he was to be paid to do the stunt, he did it, and they didn't pay.

I'm not saying I believe him, but who here wouldn't be really, really angry if they agreed to do some stunt for money, and the other person didn't pay up?? Even if it was an incredibly stupid thing to do, if he has a contract and he held up his end of the deal, he deserves to get paid.?

I agree, but I can't imagine anyone (except, perhaps, those lads on Jackass!) who'd agree, contractually, to pay someone $10 million for such a stunt.? I have my doubts about there being a legal contract.? More likely, this guy is actually dumber than the Jackass guys, if you can believe it.

Hey, check out the link in The Jungle about Russian Roulette who put toilet paper up for sale on ebay and some idiot bid $11 million. Now RR owes $165K. So you may want to rethink the statement "I agree, but I can't imagine anyone (except, perhaps, those lads on Jackass!) who'd agree, contractually, to pay someone $10 million for such a stunt."

Fair enough!
