Siouxsie Law has the (funny? horrifying?) video clip, the plot line of which involves the catastrophic misuse of a microwave oven and its fictional legal consequences.

the look on the cat just before it was placed in the microwave to dry off was priceless.
Well, Yakitate Japan being from ’05, not sure its recent, but…
NOT A CARTOON MORONS!
get your facts straight
And America is stupid and we really do sue for everything so grow a pair and deal with it
Fantastic description. Thanks for posting.
Actually…”anime” means “cartoon”. Also, “otaku” is a derogatory word meaning “shut-in.” But Americans do sue for some absurd things.
