Stephen H. Pitler, a personal-injury lawyer in Hampton, Va., suspects Ortega
might have a viable lawsuit against McDonald's, but wouldn't speculate on
the amount of damages that could be awarded.

"I think there's a contractual breach," Pitler said. "It has to be
determined if there's been any physical or psychological injury from the
incident. Maybe there's a continued nausea or she gets sick to her stomach
every time she passes a McDonald's. McDonald's should compensate her, it's
just a question of the extent."

Let's see, after several billion headless McNuggets, we get one with a beak.
I suppose the trauma of actually being exposed to the fact that you're
eating a bird must be worth at least a couple million dollars in
compensation in our wonderful modern society.  What a bunch of opportunist
whiners people are these days.

Actually, in looking at the picture, I *can* see that whoever got this thing
might have been in serious danger of laughing themselves to death, but "a
continued nausea"?  What a wonderfully silly legalese medical condition.  I
don't think so.
