“David Noll, her attorney, said Wednesday that he could not disclose the settlement’s details, although he said Berry can now go to a local car dealership and “pick out whatever type of Toyota she wants.”
I remember this one. Waitress works at Hooter’s, put in extra shifts for a long time (I think it was like a month of quite a few double shifts) to win a car in a demeaning job. I think she had a lame commute or something and a child so the car would have really helped. She gets put in a blindfold, given a Yoda doll, and told to ‘take a joke’?
I would have killed the managers with my bare hands. How she managed to keep calm enough to start a lawsuit is beyond me. Hats off to her. She’s made of stronger stuff than I am. I’m glad she won.

Fucking Yanks.
If this was in England where we speak proper English, this would never have happened.
It’s because you Yanks can’t pronounce English properly is why this sort of shit happens.
How do you say PETER? No, there’s no fucking D in it.
I am an idiot, I’ve literally only just got this. Toyata -> Toyoda -> Toy Yoda. Epic fail on my part. Lol.

Does she fail because she was duped, or because she worked at Hooters and is clearly lacking the, er, accoutrements needed. Or, rather, the acHOOTERments.
Michael Jack March 1st
Whoa there, LFH.
We still kicked your ass with farmers and pitchforks. You fail.
carlotta March 7th
oh, lfh. proper english died out almost a thousand years ago.
anything less than old anglo-saxon english = epic linguistic fail.
but anyway. no harm, no foul. she’s okay, she got her car, we can laugh.
shu March 11th
hahaha it wouldn’t happen if we spoke proper english? toyota is japanese!
anon March 16th
Yes. Toyota IS Japanese. Congratulations. You managed to FAIL. LFH was talking about proper enunciation, instead of slurring everything like a drunken Sly Stallone. Most people are really lazy in how they pronounce things. The rest can be chalked up to accents.

Or…we could be half deaf so “s” and “th” sound alike and we never learned to make proper “s”s because of that. No, can’t be. America is just drunk. Gotcha.
On the other FAIL, my family followed this closely for some reason.

Stupid bitch, should have got a bitch slap not a car.

Did anyone else notice that the store manager, in the article that was linked above, called the whole May beer sales contest an “April fool’s joke”.
Fail.
DB August 8th
Wow, she even looks like her new toy Yoda in the face. For a moment there I thought that was the “fail” before I actually read the article.
Mic August 29th
Hehe, I wouldn’t mind if you called me a stupid bitch after I drove away in my toyota, because of your april fool’s joke…

Actually, she sued the restaurant and won.

So, Win not fail.

Interesting. You can count on the American legal system to deliver when it doesn’t matter.
KJ January 30th
Aww man, that was a preemptive fail
HW January 30th
She still failed to get the joke (unlike everyone else)

I would prefer the Yoda.

Sense of humour and American English fail.

I think the true fail is the lip herps she has.
