Mcdonald's Sued for Maggot-Infested Cheeseburger
Updated: Tue, Jul 03 7:46 AM EDT

DETROIT (Reuters) - An 11-year old Detroit boy filed a $1 million lawsuit against fast food giant McDonald's Corp on Monday after he allegedly ate part of cheeseburger that was infested with maggots, his lawyer said.

The boy, Vincent Ingram, discovered the maggots after chomping into the cheeseburger at home on June 19, said the attorney, Arnold Reed.

"His sister is standing next to him and starts freaking out, because she sees these things crawling around his mouth and out of his mouth. She starts screaming," Reed told Reuters in an interview.

Reed said Ingram swallowed at least half a dozen of the maggots. As evidence, his mother saved the rest of the cheeseburger and the boy's vomit.

"Since this incident, he's been freaking out. He won't eat," Reed added.

The lawsuit filed in Wayne County Circuit Court in Michigan says Ingram ate the cheeseburger shortly after it was bought, but does not specify in what amount of time.

McDonald's in a statement called the allegations "questionable," and said it had not received any facts to back up the claims.

"We have not been provided with any evidence to validate this claim," the company's statement said.

Maggots aren't that bad, but they do get annoying.

Did you want your maggots super sized?

#1) What point is there to posting this to a
video newsgroup ?

#2) This story is complete BS.

Maybe they want to compress the maggots and the cheeseburger to an SVCD compliant file for better playback quality.

[supercows]

or perhaps they wonder how to burn the BIN file that came with the maggot.?

Actually this IS a real news story from Yahoo news. And nope I don't care if the maggots were trying to make their own VCD's, etc.

yesterday i stepped on a maggot while i took the trash out; they're pretty nasty looking when they're covering something completely.

I didn't actually mean the story, just the incident.

There's always somebody out to make a buck, and with that
thought in mind, think of that person taking home a
MD burger, letting it sit in the bottom of a trash can
for a few days until it "incubates", then bringing it
back to MD's and swapping it with a burger he just bought.

Hope I didn't put ideas into more wacko's heads ...
