Jokes aimed at standup comic’s in-laws categorized as protected speech
LOS ANGELES - A standup
Sunda Croonquist, whose shtick for years has been to describe her life as a half-black, half-Swedish woman who marries into a Jewish family, was sued two years ago after her mother-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law said her jokes were holding them up to public ridicule.
In a 21-page ruling issued Friday, U.S. District Judge Mary L. Cooper of New Jersey concluded that the examples they cited — including one in which Croonquist says her sister-in-law's voice sounds like a cat in heat — fell under the category of protected speech.
We live in the greatest nation in the world and we pay our debts to the best of our ability. paper life insurance car insurance and home insurance but we are three times more likely to wind up in court in New York to wind up in the hospital. We live in a nation that has gone crazy with suing one another. I don't really need to go into anymore ludicrous situation than the one above because we've all heard the stories. We think that it won't happen to me the problem is that it could happen to me. What is my recourse? How can I be protected from frivolous lawsuits?
