| Sue someone you care about
Being social creatures, humans have the potential to annoy and soothe many in their day-to-day interactions. Whether it's leaving your hair in the sink or blowing off friends with weak excuses, we all mumble our apologies or leave threatening messages on answering machines. Now you can take your righteous sensibilities to the next level with a Web site that lets you sue your friends and family for all their grave injustices (think Judge Judy and Jerry Springer let loose on an Internet forum).
At the aptly named imright.com, you can play out all your courtroom whims by being judge, jury, defendant or plaintiff in your own battle, or meddle in the affairs of others. Registration is free, and it allows you to create your own visual Alt-Ego ready to judge the various complaints from lovers, friends, roommate, exes and family court. The issues range from "What's Happening With You?" to "She's a Ho!" You’ll also find a sizable list of closed cases in the archives if the current fare isn't satisfying your Springer-like cravings.
If you've got a bone to pick with someone, the site’s virtual attorney (@Ernie) will help you draw up the necessary information to send a "subpe-mail" to get the ball rolling. You can include facts, witnesses, your own laws and a remedy to be viewed by the online court community. The site also enables you to specify what kind of jury you want deciding your case – for example, only people who are involved in serious relationships or who are divorced. It's definitely more civil and cathartic than using your roommate's toothbrush to scrub the toilet, and you can wear your pajamas to court. |
