OMFG! Only in America this could happen ...


I just watched this movie and couldn't believe that this really happened. Even if, so I thought at least, some of it MUST have been made up by the writers.

So I was quite shocked that not only everything really DID happen, but that this stupid restaurant manager woman actually was paid more than a million dollars for punitive damages and the prank caller wasn't even convicted. I mean, really, America?

Seeing how stupid the USA already is, it absolutely frightens me to think about how stupid that country will possibly become in the future.

Seriously. Get to strip search a girl, leave her with your stupid fiancée to enjoy AND get paid close to a mill? Not a bad day of work for a mcdonalds manager.

Still, studies do show that people will do outlandish things if they think they're talking to a superior.

If that b*tch manager was paid a million, that poor girl better have been paid 100 million for everything she went through!

I'm re-watching it right now and I'm fuming! I'm at the part where the manager's fiance is about to search the girl, and I'm smacking my forehead so hard I'm starting to bruise! I know these people were "coerced" by a con man, but they seriously have no sense of right or wrong!

When the caller tells him to look at her nipples and Van asks why, the caller actually told him "To corroborate the witness's testimony". WHAT!!!??? How in the HELL would this "witness" have seen this girl's NIPPLES??? That right there should've been a red flag.

I don't know if this caller was actually that good, or if these people were actually that stupid!

But that's the thing. He didn't know much about the story. And that was one of my problems with Sandra. She was so worried about how busy it was she didn't tell him much. She also didn't listen to Kevin when he tried to tell her something was wrong, nor her fiancé. I kind of wonder if it had nothing to do with the restaurant being busy and more with her being jealous of the girl.

This movie just brought back memories of my experiences in retail where managers or those higher up than you (even if slightly) try to lord it over you.

Ever hear of what happened in Nazi Germany?

Yeah you're right, the USA is so stupid, nothing at all like a country that in the last century blindly complied with a madman to the point of nearly annihilating a whole race of people. Oh wait, on second thought the latter is much worse and historically shouldn't have a word to say about another country's much lesser flaws. And just to clarify, what's the German national motto again? Just following orders? Lol

Hey dumbass? Your country has been complying with madmen and not only destroying people directly, but training other people to put puppets in place who would eventually being doing the same thing. M'kay? In fact, on two separate occasions they've used direct attacks on you, the American people and your military as excuses to send said military to do precisely that destroying.

And let's not forget that the quotas put in place on the immigration of those destroyed people to the US were put in place in large portion by your WWII era president, trapping them in Germany and leaving them in the path of that madman in the first place.

- In 1939 pollsters found that 53 percent of those interviewed agreed with the statement "Jews are different and should be restricted." Between 1933 and 1945 the United States took in only 132,000 Jewish refugees, only ten percent of the quota allowed by law.

- Reflecting a nasty strain of anti-Semitism, Congress in 1939 refused to raise immigration quotas to admit 20,000 Jewish children fleeing Nazi oppression. As the wife of the U.S. Commissioner of Immigration remarked at a cocktail party, "20,000 children would all too soon grow up to be 20,000 ugly adults

- McCarthyism was very much in league with Nazi leadership

- Joe Kennedy, the patriarch of the Kennedy clan, was an ardent supporter of Hitler. His son became president.

- The German people, of which my father was a member, just so happened to be the only Nazi sympathizers on the planet who were sympathizing at gunpoint. The Americans had no such "motivation".

Discover the history section of the public library. Soon. And tell a friend to go too, because if enough AmeriCANTS would do that maybe you'd collectively end up with enough brain, willpower, and common sense to realize that the supposed whole point of your so called freedom was to come up with better reasons to avoid getting brainwashed, duped and swindled at the voting booths by warmongering liars and tyrants than because "teh tewowwists"

Another jealous 3rd world putz who's pathetic country probably wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for the US feels compelled to spew idiocy. Go have a drink of water.... Oh wait, you probably can't drink your water.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

lol exactly!

Ya but see those in his country know that. But judging by how many vacationing Americans are buying out the entire rack of dysentery meds at the stores in such countries despite having computer access to more electronic common sense and medical cautionary tales than anyone on the planet, can you explain why idiocy is an attribute you continue to deflect onto those with the healthy digestive tracts?

And by the way. Americans don't actually drink their own water either. Instead, they import the tap water of "lesser" countries at a 400% markup and consider it a status symbol when they tote the bottles everywhere they go. As for their "own" water? They waste it by the gallon then wheedle about perpetual drought conditions on the 6 o'clock news. On again at 8, 10, and 11, correct?

So the topic again was stupidity, was it not?

No. Who told you Americans don't drink their own water? I, as well as almost everyone I know drinks the water but whether we do or not, it's SAFE to drink. There's no drought. Follow the money just like your and every other country.

I don't know what country you're from, but obviously it's somewhere where everyone watches American films, & no one in America could give a flying fvck about whatever 'movies' your country spits out.

And this hasn't just happened in America. It also happened to a series of private middle schools in Ireland in the late 90's.

So STFU, do your research, & go right back to being jealous of us...idiot.

I am laughing so hard at all the Americans responding here. You can expect two default replies from the hardcore idiots: 1) insulting the OP and whatever country they're from, and/or 2) spouting that land of the free, you're just jealous BS. Just admit it, you people are f@cking idiots. Not all of you. But enough. Sure, there are idiots in every country. But you people have your own special level of stupid. The blowjob part of this movie did it for me. There is no way, no way anyone would think that was normal cop procedure. It was just another redneck dumba$s who thought they could have a piece of the pie and then get away with it afterwards by playing dumb. Amazing.

There is a line between blindly following authority and having the common sense to know when something is morally wrong. If something feels wrong then I will be thrown in jail before I do it. And I don't just mean the moral grey area kind of wrong. I mean I won't spank someone naked kind of wrong. F@cking hell.
