Woman chased by fake alien . . .

[raj]

. . . sues reality TV show.

 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Kara Blanc thought she was being chased by a space alien on her way to a posh Hollywood party and was terrified. But the alien turned out to be an actor in a monster suit and the party was phony as well.

So now the Los Angeles grade school teacher and aspiring actress is fighting back, suing the new reality TV series "Scare Tactics," claiming she suffered severe emotional damage, court papers said Tuesday.

And which network is doing this series?  Sci-Fi!  Is there a deliberate plot to kill this network.  Do the owners want to open up this channel for say, the knitting network?

That show soiunds hilarious. Do you know when it is on? I also think Sci Fi should counter sure this woman for stupidity.

[Fearless Freep]

I'm just waiting for the court appearance where she claims she thought the alien was real :)

[Ash]

I hope she does get countersued and loses!

Stupid, frivolous, lawsuit creating b***h!!

In my opinion, it's idiotic people like her that drag this country down and clog the drain of the justice system.

One cup of Drano for her I say!  "Heathers" style.

I'll even lay out a glass coffee table for her to crash into.

If that doesn't work, there's always the ROTO-ROOTER man.

Have you seen what the roto-rooter tool looks like??

She'd be in pain.  Serious pain...

I hope the judge makes her look stupid!

Hopefully Court TV is there to capture it all.

If this woman is serious about suing because of a prank.....I'm moving to Jupiter.
Hmmmmm,.....or maybe I'll sue Earth......'twas evolution that spawned such nitwits in the first place. Yes, that's what I'll do.

[Evan3]

Sue Darwin, if he hadnt made the theory of evolution, it wouldnt exist. So says my philosophy teacher. Seriously though, when is this show on? It isnt listed anywhere on the Sci Fi channel's website.

this link tells all about it

You guys are buying into this? Riiiiiight. I mean, I can see one gullible dork here falling for it (with all his usual foulmouthed screeching and overreacting), but I didn't expect that many to swallow such a blatantly obvious publicity stunt...

Next up: the people in the "See Spot Run" TV ads-- whooping about how it was the greatest family comedy ever made--were sincere and completely uncompensated for their appearances. No, seriously. Just like folks on "The People's Court," and "Crossing Over With The Biggest Douche In The Universe." Oh, and "Blair Witch Project?" It was for real, dudes. Real. :)

I hear there's a good "Panty Un-Wadder" on sale at Sears
Gee Squish

[DARKWOLF]

Do you kiss your mom with that mouth ASHTHECAT calling a woman you don't know a b****. You guys it mite be fake but if it's real I bet you gets scared if that happen to you like if a zombie or werewolf or a vampire jumped at you in the middle of nowere and your car broke down.

[Evan3]

Who said we wouldnt be scared. But f**k if I would
A) sue for repeated hospital visits????
B) Sue because I thought it was real
C) Attack Ashthecat.... hes a good man

[Ash]

Thanks Evan.

I assume that you're defending me on this one.

Squishy called me a "gullible dork".

He didn't say my name but I'm not stupid.  

We all know you were referring to me Squish.

"(with all his usual foulmouthed screeching and overreacting)"

Uh huh.

Ok.

Believe me, my foulmouthed screeching and overreacting are tame by some other people's standards.

I don't think I overreact to any topic by any means...I'm just a little more forceful with my opinions....wouldn't you agree?

If I feel strongly about something, I ram my opinion or imagination down your throat whether you like it or not.

That's just how I do it.

Other's are more subtle...not me.

You should know that by now.

And as for my use of the English language...well, that's open to interpretation.

Squishy, have I ever called you names???

Not that I can recall.

We've had our disagreements in the past over STUPID MEANINGLESS s**t LIKE THESE POSTS!!

That's no reason to attack me personally and you know it.

I swear,  you take this s**t too damn seriously!!

They're just movies and  tabloid headlines!!!

How the hell was I supposed to know the original story was fake?

And I was just joking when I posted my response.

I don't really mean some of the stuff that I say on here.

I'm more than willing to be friends as long as you don't smear me.

Now be a good boy and play nice!!

[Evan3]

Well said Ash, I was defending u this time..........

[DARKWOLF]

Will I still it's not right to call her that name.

[Andrew]

Squishy may be right, it may be a publicity stunt, but I think his point could have been put in a way less likely to cause an argument.  The reason I am not sure it is a stunt is because the courts usually look down on that sort of thing.  If this woman actually filed a case, then it all turns out to be a way to get attention for the show, the people involved might well be standing in front of an angry judge soon.

The new attraction of "hidden camera" reality shows worries me.  Sooner or later these idiots are going to pick someone who has a permit to carry concealed (or is carrying a handgun anyway) and someone is going to get hurt.
