About Me
Hey! I'm a really cool guy. Get to know me. Usually you can find me hanging out with my friends, pretending to freestyle good, making up designs, creating movies or just sitting around. I have a thing for 8bit so I makeup sprite characters on occasion.

So yeah! Enjoy.

Student Sues Airline for $1M for Lost 360; Proves My Teacher Right
DreRox | 9:43 PM on 03.11.2009 7 comments




According to an Associated Press article Yale student, Jesse Maiman is attempting to sue the pants off of US Airways for an Xbox 360 that was apparently taken from his luggage on a trip from New Haven, Connecticut, to Cincinnati (I wasn't aware Cincinnati held idiot conventions this time of year) which apparently had a "specialized" hard drive (see: modded).

CRY MOAR

It's a funny coincidence that my English teacher was telling us that pursuing post-secondary education while, now might seem like a "mature" path to take, will not magically turn us into "mature" people - as if MTV hadn't taught us that already. Jesse Maiman, you are a stellar example for us young ones on the verge of turning a new chapter in our lives. You've taught us all that it is okay to be a pupil in one of the world's finest educational institutions and still behave like a whiny jackass.

Also: A US Airways spokeswoman said the airline was unaware of the suit but noted that the government limits liability for lost luggage to $3,300 per bag.

Man I would never put anything of value in my suitcase, especially not a 360, I'd mail it.

Dude may be an idiot, but I can't help but feel just a little bit sorry for him because some baggage handler ganked his shit.

I was just reading about this and I'm glad someone picked up on it. I'd love to hear what the kids justification for 1M suite could possibly be, was he so mentally distraught that he expects to be reimbursed or what not?

Too bad this will get settled quietly out of court for much less then 1M, I would've loved to follow the trial.

This is truly, truly, truly outrageous.

When I brought my 360 back home to FL, it went in my backpack. A slightly harrowing experience, but a bit enthralling. I didnt take my eye off the bag for like the 8 hours of flying and airport time. It'd be funny if they found the suitcase and the modded system and illegal copies, then the game companies sue HIM for 2 million. Karma can be a bitch is all Im saying...

I'm pretty sure this same exact thing happened to vexed alex if I remember correctly, and I actually supported the idea of a lawsuit to him. =D
