$6 MILLION for being a gullible idiot?!

Jury gives $6.1M to woman in strip hoax

SHEPHERDSVILLE, Ky. - A jury awarded $6.1 million Friday to a woman who said she was forced to strip in a McDonald's back office at the behest of a caller posing as a police officer.

Louise Ogborn, 21, had sued McDonald's Corp., claiming the fast-food giant failed to warn her and other employees about the caller who already struck other McDonald's stores and other fast-food restaurants across the country.

This is the entire story on Yahoo News - did anyone even see this happen? If she did this in a back office, what issues were involved to give such an extreme settlement? This is just bizarre...
