  1. Actually, she sued the restaurant and won.

    “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.”

  2. Interesting. You can count on the American legal system to deliver when it doesn’t matter.

  4. She still failed to get the joke (unlike everyone else)

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Woooah. Easy tiger!

    I am an idiot, I’ve literally only just got this. Toyata -> Toyoda -> Toy Yoda. Epic fail on my part. Lol.

  8. 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.

  9. Whoa there, LFH.

    We still kicked your ass with farmers and pitchforks. You fail.

  10. 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.

  11. hahaha it wouldn’t happen if we spoke proper english? toyota is japanese!

    Comment by shu — 11 Mar 2008 @ 6:30am

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. Ahahahahaha! Always get it in writing.

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

    Comment by Smegma — 3 Jul 2008 @ 8:00pm

  18. 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.
