Man sues company for fly in water

June 21st, 2007

I read an article in today’s Globe and Mail about a Canadian man that sued a bottling company because he found a fly in his drink. He was actually awarded $341,775 initially. That award has since been stripped. I can’t believe any judge would would ever award him that large sum of money in the first place — or any amount of money for that matter. Anyone who becomes depressed and loses their sex drive over seeing a fly in water is just sad. It’s not like he actually drank the water. One thing I don’t get about the article, though, is why it bothered to mention the man’s ethnicity at all. What relevance does that bear on the story?
