LAWSUITS THREATENS ST. PATRICK'S DAY CELEBRATIONS


San Diego, CA -  Class action lawyers have filed a lawsuit to stop the St. Patrick's Day tradition of wearing green.

Thirteen colors, including purple, turquoise and chartreuse have joined the suit, making various claims.

The Color Purple, despite having a major motion picture named after it, has complained in the class action suit, that it suffers tremendous emotional distress during the St. Patrick's Day Holiday when most people prefer to wear green.

Turquoise stated that each St. Patrick's Day he suffers from lack of consortium and, of course, that makes him feel blue.

Chartreuse felt that shady dealings overshadowed the St. Patrick's Day color preference.  Critics of the lawsuit thought that chartreuse was just green with envy.

If past results are any indication of financial gain, participants in this litigation can expect the class action lawyers to collect several million dollars, while the plaintiffs (members of the class) might receive coupons for a 10% savings on their next box of crayons.

Interested parties may call San Diego County Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse (CALA)  at (619) 295-6059, for details about the suit.

"If you even thought this press release was legitimate, even for an instant, you have been a victim of lawsuit abuse by being desensitized because of the onslaught of litigation in our society," said Andy Kotner, President of San Diego County CALA.

San Diego CALA is a non-profit, grassroots public education organization.  Its mission is to inform consumers about the costs of lawsuit abuse and ensure the legal system is used for justice, not greed. San Diego County CALA has more than 8,000 local supporters.
