I completely understand the family wanting compensation for all of this mess. I mean... they got a racist couch! I say, no less than 3 million.

I would have mentioned it to the store manager and went on with my life.

dont forget the more recent incident on Wheel of Forture cause by a Colorado dumbass.

"Fuck Yo' Couch!"

Sorry, I had to say it. Involuntary reaction.

A word that isn't in common usage in a nation with very little black racism, used a word brought into the language during British colonialism and isn't even part of the native language, translated a word using a archaic albeit racist description of a colour, which found an american women whose friends were so offended at this usage by people that had no idea of the meaning, and know it only has a description of a colour, now want a full apology to all people of colour, and of course a monetary settlement due to the total lack of malevolent intent in it's naming.

Yep that Indian guy should apologize to himself... or is "color" only a term for black people?

Yanks, Blacks, Margret Chow, and all you other over sensitive jackass (and only in those groups that are over sensitive) get a fucking clue. I'm an over sensitive jackass about certain things.. and when I'm being so, someone tells me to take a chill pill and I settle down realize that I'm being an idiot and let it go.. I think a lot of people need to do this too.. and then take their lawyers of speed dial. Litigation should not be a career unless you've passed the bar.

edited because professional litigation is migrating out of the central area of North America

What she wants compensation for actually having to talk to her kid? WTF? She going to sue the school that her kid goes to when the other kids use it there too? Or doesn't that kind of thing happen in Canada?

This is fresh out of Toronto........

Ya force of habit I'll change it.. lol thanks for pointing it out.

I wonder if the couch and Don Imus are related.

Awesome coverage of this story from FTR. I don't know how you do it.

My god, it's creepy. What the hell is going on in that continent?
I mean, despite Australia's incredibly high levels of multi-culturalism, we're considered a particualrly racist nation. Yet, if this sort of thing happened here, to anyone, we'd just laugh it off. Someone would've said "Oops! Sorry. Ain't that funny?" and let it be.

Even more likely, we'd probably be proud of the tag and show it to all of our friends.

"Check out the tag on my sofa ... "
"It says -fuck whitey-."
"I know. Isn't it awesome?"
"Well, it is white."
Then there is the LOLing.

Now that just about killed me. I just spit beer all over my keyboard.

Fuck I laughed when I read that... does that make me a bad person .. I dont care that was piss funny

Can't they just let the couch live, free from lables imposed by an uncaring and harsh society?! I mean it's bad enough having to spend all day with people rubbing their smelly asses all over you, dogs and cats scratchy you.. maybe even pissing on you.. Won't somebody PLEASE think of the couches?

ohhh, don't judge us all. I'd be making phone calls, but they wouldn't be to my lawyer they'd be to my friends to come over and look at the tag.

I'd also use it as a conversation piece during parties......."look how stupid this company is!"

I see a mass couch recall coming.
Beware the name calling couches and their love-seat comrades.
Couch companies are so racist. *sheesh*
