Not really. But that’s the word used in the class action lawsuit instigated by iMac user Chandra Sanders. Apple’s failure to deliver every last one of the promised ”millions of colors” on its 20 inch desktop computer has proven to be “crippling” for users editing photos and video. Crippling? Really? How crippling? Are we talking charley horse, or buzz saw to the legs? Is it crippling in the same way frivolous lawsuits are to our legal system? How about just returning the computer? Or an exchange for another one? Or sell it, get one you like, and quitcherbitchin. I’m sure there are many more “millions” of users who understand the expression “millions” for what it is. People like Chandra Sanders are the terror of any company’s legal, and the pee in the punch for marketing. It’s people like her who cause campaigns to run like this:
Marketing: Wow! Our product is amazing! We want the world to know of its grand splendor!
Legal: The [product] doesn’t do anything. Actually, it barely exists. [Product]? What [product]?
People like Chandra Sanders are the reason for the senseless killing of so many innocent taglines before they’ve even been given life. Talk about crippling…

I’d like to weed out Chandras’ myself. I bet this isn’t the first time she’s done something like this.

I’m an apple fanboy, but this goes beyond a tagline to over the line. Apple deserves this lawsuit.
