Woman found guilty of planting rat in food at upscale restaurant

She claimed there was a rat in her food, then demanded $500,000 from the restaurant owners and threatened to alert the media if it wasn't paid. Publicity from the case has cost the eatery tens of thousands of dollars in revenue, says the owner. (Appleton Post-Crescent)

they don't use microwaves at all?...wow, it really is an upscale restaurant. As for the woman, let her serve a couple years somewhere where she really might get a rat in her salad.

Ben? is that you?

Obama would not have let that happen if he ran the restaraunt.

If I was the owner I would be counter-suing her right now. Not that she obviously has any money to gain anything, but she may own a house and car, and the sales of those could help to offset some damages. Plus it would teach her not to pull this kind of S*&% again.

Okay, do we have a Black Sabbath theme today? That'd be cool. Ive noticed some of the more recent days have had some thematic streams. I like that.

And society's lowest common denominator continues to plummet!

Yes, madam, today's "White Ratatouille" is an unadvertised special. Perhaps madam would care for a glass of Fat Rat Cabernet?

Microwaved domestic white rat .... mmmm mmmm good!

I hope she was charged with animal cruelty as well. I agree they should counter-sue: when she attempts this again, she may win the money and the restaruant could assume her win.

Brilliant, Ellie.

It still amazes me how some people can be so greedy while equally idiotic.
