AYFS? Stupid Lawsuit

One of the most stupid things I've heard this week, Justin Bieber is being sued for supposedly giving a woman hearing loss.
And no, it's not because his music was so terrible that her hearing went poof. In fact, it's not even because his music was too loud.
No, it was because his fans screamed too loud. His fans. Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me?

So the story is, Stacey Wilson Betts took her daughter to a Justin Bieber concert in Portland and found the crowd so loud that her hearing is now damaged. She saw fit to lay a lawsuit on Bieber for this since he caused the crowd to give off 'a wave like effect of screaming by pointing into various sections of the arena' and 'enticed the crowd into a frenzy of screams by continuously waving his arms in a quick and upward motion.' He also supposedly rode into the crowd on a 'heart-shaped aluminum/steel gondola,' which apparently served as a sound conductor to boost the sound.

Now I have no love for Justin Bieber, but this is one of the stupidest things I've heard in a long time. I am not sure if this woman has been to a concert before in her life. I certainly hope not, because then at least it might explain why she so foolishly thinks that actions such as pointing at the crowd and giving arm boosts are something to sue over.
Newsflash. Almost all performers do it. Hell, most of them yell 'Make some noise' or 'Let's hear you (name of city)'. And then, upon hearing the noise, declare it not loud enough and encourage louder.
This is standard concert behaviour. Everyone should know and expect that, especially when it comes to an act as huge as Bieber. It's only natural that it's going to be loud as fuck in there, so most good attendees would/should have brought hearing protection. And if you don't, you've only got yourself to blame. Did she think she was going to a movie theater where everyone sits quietly and watches? It's not like Bieber came and forced her to come to his concert, or like he stood and screamed in her ear for the duration of the concert. He just did what an entertainer is supposed to do. This honestly just reeks of money-grabbing, or perhaps that darker version of Bieber fever that instead of turning people into squealing fangirls brings forth their rage monsters made free of common sense :T Probably money-grabbing though. Did I mention that this lawsuit is for $9 million?

And that poor daughter!! She was doubtlessly one of those screaming fans, and now her mother is suing a singer she undoubtedly looks up to because said mother was too stupid to understand how concerts work. She's probably never going to go to another concert with her mum for the rest of her life. And never going to live it down with her fellow Bieber-bopping friends.

Anyway, I'm adding this to my list of stupid lawsuits, which also features such things as somebody suing a microwave company because their cat died after being microwaved, and somebody suing McDonalds because their coffee was too hot and burnt them.
