First, just to be clear, I don't like Yelp. I don't trust Yelp reviews. I can think of at least a dozen other resources that I'd turn to in order to find good restaurants when I travel in any given city. You might be curious as to why I dislike Yelp so much. I firmly believe that it is the goal of the majority of Yelp reviewers to think that they have some power in the restaurant world — they trash places that don't deserve it constantly, "review" places based on one visit, and sometimes use the threat of a negative Yelp "review" in an attempt to get special treatment. And now, the ultimate in ridiculousness — Yelp reviewers have now filed a class action claiming that they are unpaid writers. Might I remind you, dear readers (and all you idiot Yelpers), that writing on Yelp is 100% VOLUNTARY.
Yet another reason that Yelp truly sucks.

And someone sued McDonald’s over hot coffee. Just goes to show that there is something seriously wrong with our legal system.

There’s much more to that McD’s case than the press led on. I think it was totally valid, actually. Check out the documentary: http://www.hotcoffeethemovie.com/Default.asp
