Class action lawsuit launched over iPod Nano scratch marks

OK, let me get this straight. Some moron is suing Apple because of the belief that the iPod Nano is too easily scratched? That is officially the dumbest thing that I have ever heard of! Could this be the same dork that sued Mcdonalds over hot coffee?

Angry iPod Nano owners have filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in San Jose, California, against Apple Computer, Inc. The lawsuit, filed by attorneys from Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro in Seattle and David P. Meyer & Associates in Columbus, Ohio, on behalf of all Nano owners, charges that the iPod Nano’s LCD screen is too easily scratched. The claim is that under normal use, the screen will become so scratched that it is rendered unreadable, and that Apple was aware of these problems and shipped the Nano anyway, violating “implied and expressed warranties.” The suit asks for “damages in the amount of monies paid for Nanos,” as well as unspecified actual, statutory and punitive damages.
