Why the U.S. Legal System is Brilliant!

Michael Vick, currently facing charges for his involvement in dog-fighting, is now facing a lawsuit from a prison inmate in South Carolina, the Guardian reports. The $63 billion lawsuit claims that Vick stole two dogs from Jonathan Lee Riches, used them for fighting then sold them on e-bay. He then allegedly used the proceeds to buy missiles from the Iranian government. I highly recommend reading the transcript of the suit. Some of the other deeds Vick is alleged to have committed:

-He pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda.
-He subjected the plaintiff to microwave testing.
-He used drugs in a school zone.
-He stole the plaintiff's ID and used it to open an account to buy pet food at Petsmart and Doggie Warehouse.

Should Mr. Riches win his suit he would like the $63 000 000 000 to be backed by gold and silver and delivered to the front gates of the prison he is in, via UPS. He also apologises that the suit is hand-written. (Yes, it's a hand written lawsuit, rife with spelling mistakes and poor grammar.)

My favourite part, though, has to be his last line:

"Michael Vick has to stop physically hurting my feelings and dashing my hopes."

Let justice be done.

Does this mean that the Jonathan Lee Riches mugs, T-shirts and hats that I bought from Michael Vick aren't authentic? I feel ripped off.
