Woman Sues Because She Saw Bigfoot

Utopia has already arrived — for lawyers. You can now sue anyone for any reason. Claudia Ackley of California is suing because she says she saw Bigfoot perched in a tree near Lake Arrowhead:

Ackley called authorities to report the Sasquatch sighting, but they insisted she had seen a bear. That denial inspired Ackley to file a lawsuit against the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the state Natural Resources Agency last month, accusing California of dereliction of duty for failing to protect Bigfoot and infringing on her constitutional rights.

Her suit is supported by actual proof — video of the beast in the tree taken by her young daughter:

The video, which was included in the local ABC news segment, shows what appears to be trees and shadows.

Even if the suit doesn’t pan out, at least it might lead to a friendship:

[T]he San Bernardino Sun reports she has left snacks, including soda, Fritos, and fruit, near the site of her spotting, “along with a voice-activated book with pictures inside, made by Ackley in an effort to communicate with Bigfoot.”

Ackley describes an 800-lb creature resembling a hairy Neanderthal. Interestingly, Rosie O’Donnell’s whereabouts at the time of the sighting are unknown.
