apocalypsosKNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Less than a week after filing a class-action lawsuit because of her outrage over Janet Jackson (news)'s Super Bowl stunt, Terri Carlin believes she's made her point.
Yes, that mental health care drugs are too expensive and she should be getting hers for free, damn you!
Carlin alleged that she and others who watched the show during the Super Bowl were injured by the performers' lewd actions when Timberlake tore off part of Jackson's costume, exposing her right breast.
"I got warts!"
"I sprained my ankle!"
"I lost an arm!"
"I can't feel my ass!"
"I pulled a groin muscle!"
The notice of dismissal filed in federal court says Carlin wants to see if "remedial measures" announced by federal regulators and the companies involved succeed in preventing similar stunts.
Well, at the very least, they'll be embarrassing her children for the next few years.
Carlin and attorney Wayne A. Ritchie II, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of Carlin and has represented her for free, have received phone calls and mail from hundreds of supportive parents from across the country who wanted to be included in the suit, the notice states.
... who don't mind embarrassing their children, either.
In the lawsuit filed on behalf of "all Americans," Carlin charged that Jackson's exposure and "sexually explicit conduct" by other performers during the halftime show injured viewers.
"I now have hemorrhoids!"
"I can't see out my left eye!"
"I have carpal tunnel syndrome!"
"My right leg is now three inches shorter than my left leg!"
"I caught Ebola!"
