Coyote v. Acme

     "Coyote v. Acme", written by Ian Fraizer, is a court case between a cartoon Coyote, and the company which supplies him with the merchandise (Acme) he uses for his work. The speaker here is Mr. Coyote's attorney, also known as the plaintiff. He speaks on behalf of Mr. Coyotes complaints and wants. The purpose of the essay is to show people the corrupt court system of the United States today, with a twist of humor in it. The subject of this essay is the court case. The whole essay is the plaintiff's argument for the judge.
     The humor (suing for the stupidest of reasons) criticizes the United States court system today. In the essay, the attorney claims Mr. Coyote seeks nearly forty million dollars in damage and other losses. He is suing for Acme's lack of precaution while making the products, when it is actually Mr. Coyote's fault for not reading the directions and learning how to properly use the machinery. This example can closely relate to the United States dysfunctional court system. Although the reason of suing may not be legitimate, people may still sue others in the United States.
