Storyline
The McDonald's coffee case has been routinely cited by the media as an example of how citizens have taken advantage of the legal system. We will show how this case became so popular in the media, who funded the effort and to what end. We will tell the truth and let the audience decide if spilling hot coffee is really as profitable as they might otherwise believe. Written by Anonymous

I can't top Variety and the Washington Post, but I can tell you "Hot Coffee" is an unbelievably informative story that questions the governments true intentions when it comes to tort reform and the mandatory arbitration argument.
