Class Action Suit Against Foster's Lager?

[Michigan_Wolfman]

Don't know if any of you have heard this one yet or not, but apparently some guy is all butt hurt over "misleading advertising" because he discovered that Foster's isn't really brewed in Australia, and has threatened a class action lawsuit against Miller Breweries, who now owns the brand. Welcome to the new America, land of the perpetually and easily offended.....

Kinda reminiscent of the guy suing Blue Moon because it isn't really "craft beer". It was dismissed as I assume this one will be.

I hope there comes a day when I have enough time to worry about things like this.

Offended? or just trying to make a quick buck, probably egged on by some lawyer?

I'm waiting for the suit related to their inadequately sized cans.

Australian for Beer

Lived in Australia for a few years. The only person I ever saw drinking a Fosters was my Irish neighbor; a semi-retired welder, when I lived in Broken Hill, (a mining town in western NSW) for a couple of months.

How is people being offended over their assumptions a new thing? I am offend that you assume this is a new thing.

Homers reaction when he returned home from Down Under.
