BREAKING NEWS: Michael Vick involved in Iran / Al Qaeda Conspiracy, alleges lawsuit
.
A lawsuit was filed in US District Court in Richmond, Virginia on 23 July, 2007, alleging that Michael Vick’s dogfighting activities are in fact being used to fund purchases of missile systems from Iran, because of an Al Qaeda connection which Vick made in February of this year.
Sounds too good to be true? Couldn’t possibly have happened? Made up?
Nope. This is for real. I did not make this up. Yes, Ration Reality is a humor site … but this is an actual genuine news story.
Here’s the actual court filing. No shit. It’s handwritten.
The guy had relatively good handwriting, but it’s still pretty hard to read in places. I’ll transcribe it for you here. Please believe me, the grammar, spelling, word choice, capitalization, etc., are all the original.
Also, I think the poor guy might be lonely in prison. How would all y’all like to start a letter writing campaign? His address is at the bottom of his court filing.

I’d love to make fun of this, but it’s like Tothian wrote it or something: it makes fun of itself. I mean honestly: ‘Michael Vick has to stop physically hurting my feelings and dashing my hopes?’ Fess up, Tothian … you did have something to do with this, didn’t you? Was I wrong? Are you really not Eric Toth? Is your secret identity really Jonathan Lee Riches (c)? I mean, his name is copyrighted … just like yours. I wonder …?
“PLaiNtiff seek’s 63,000,000,000.00 Billion dollars”
How much is 63billion-billion?
$63,000,000,000,000,000,000.00 ?
63 quintillion?
Is there that much money?

I think he’ll want to put 31.5 quintillion in a Swiss account and 31.5 in a Cayman Islands account…not for tax purposes, but to keep the earth’s axis from shifting!

I know what the dogs were shot with . . . . Vick’s .44

Taking Vick’s 44 is very much like getting shot, but with a slightly lower chance of dying. Either way, you won’t be going anywhere for at least 6 hours. Robitussin is for pusses.

This guy is just looking for attention. We probably shouldn’t give it to him. (That’s sarcasm, in case the reader unfamiliar)

I prefer to think he’s using these nuisance lawsuits as a tool to underscore the flaws in our civil/tort laws and push for reform…but, then, he could be bat-fucking-insane.
