What the fuck is wrong with these people?

This news item is about how Wal-Mart is being sued because it sold an Evanescance record with the word "fuck" in it. I've lost count of the ways this annoys me.

Why sue? Go back to the shop and ask for your money back and an apology for god's sake..

Why ask for $74,000 damages? How do they work that out? How much damage can hearing the word fuck do?

Why is it Wal-Mart's responsibility? If you care that much what your children hear, make it your responsibility to check things out.

The laywer involved is quoted as saying "take this case national, even if that means going state by state." This isn't seeking recompense, this is a campaign.

Get your priorities right. Here are the lyrics of the song in question. As you can see, it talks about revenge, rape and murder. Does the lawsuit complain about that? No. It focuses on the word fuck.
