What. A. Jackass.
A guy attends a Mother's Day event at a baseball game. He doesn't get a special Mother's day tote bag, because, well, he's not a female. What's a guy to do?
Get a lawyer and sue! It's the American way!
Michael Cohn's class-action claim in Orange County Superior Court alleges that thousands of males and fans under 18 were "treated unequally" at a "Family Sunday" promotion last May and are entitled to $4,000 each in damages.
The targets of the suit are the team and the Corinthian Colleges. Corinthian oversees Bryman College, which has an Anaheim campus and sponsored the event, its name printed on the bags.
Thousands of the red nylon bags were given to women 18 and older attending the Sunday Mother's Day game.
The team says Cohn was the only one to complain. When he did, they sent him four bags and an apology. Whereupon he sued.
His lawyer said, "By looking at the bag, you can see a 17-year-old male or female would be just as happy with it as an 18-year-old male or female. I don't know why the Angels and Bryman College had a seemingly contrived cutoff for this ageless bag."
In the world of ageless things, this is an obvious one. That would be greed. And I think it would be a good idea to send a few more bags to the plaintiff AND his lawyer.
Because they're a couple of the biggest mothers on the planet.
