Perhaps, in retrospect, JV Games should have seen this coming. After all, drinking games and video games may be two of college kids' favorite pastimes, but they are also a source of constant complaints from the students' middle-aged parents.

We've all heard the infamous story of the lady who sued McDonald's after getting burned by a cup of hot coffee, or the woman who found the chicken head in her McNuggets. What does not get as much coverage is now many suits get filed in the other direction, as the fast food corporations prove they can think up far stupider reasons to sue than their customers can.

For 95 years, Americans wanting a taste of absinthe had to sneak it in from Europe or Mexico – and risk getting the high-proof herbal liquor confiscated by U.S. Customs. In May 2007, government officials lifted the ban on the drink once blamed for causing hallucinations and psychosis. A year later, Virginia’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Board approved one brand for sale. More>>> Saturday, July 19

Beer pong, also known as beirut, lob pong, or many other names is a wildly popular college drinking game. It involves making a triangle of filled beer cups on each side of the table.

It read like the teenage party from hell: a riot of sex and wanton damage fuelled by under-age drinking that only ended when the police arrived. According to media reports, the mother of the teenage hostess was so angry with her daughter that she punched her. But Jodie Hudson's lurid description of the party on the social networking website Bebo, subsequently carried in a number of national newspapers, turned out to be fantasy. The media stories, and the accompanying pictures taken from Bebo, are now the subject of a landmark legal case that could redraw the boundaries of the use of information published on social networking sites including Bebo, Facebook and MySpace.

At some point in your life you are likely to find yourself a participant in a bar fight. These altercations occur for various reasons, but can usually be attributed to some drunken chump who couldn't keep his mouth shut, couldn't take 'no' for an answer, or couldn't handle the fact you just snatched up his lady's digits while he was peter-gazing in the urinal. Regardless of whether or not that drunken chump is you, it is all about self preservation. Here are some tips for surviving such a confrontation or avoiding it altogether. More>>> Thursday, July 3
Starbucks: A Study in Liberal Failure
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 03 Jul 2008 08:28 PM EDT
This is what happens when you aggressively piss off half your customers. Starbucks has announced it's closing 600 underperforming stores in the United States. Tell me how you can have an unprofitable store, when you sell an addictive, highly-fashionable product for 10 times what it costs you to make (obscene profits anyone)? You can run it like a liberal, over-compensating employees for a job any old chump (or chimp) could do. You could alienate your customers by advocating and sponsoring wacky fringe causes.
