It’s official — Roy Pearson, the jackass administrative law judge that tried to sue a family of Korean immigrants for $67 million over a lost pair of pants, has lost his job.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving asshole.
On a positive note for Pearson, though, Korea is always looking for more English teachers.

“On a positive note for Pearson, though, Korea is always looking for more English teachers.”
As a black man he’d have a difficult time getting an interview here in Korea, regardless of the BS case he brought against the couple.
edit: perhaps the case per se wasn’t BS, but the amount demanded was.
Couldn’t of happened to a nicer guy…
I guess you could say he got pantsed.
I’m never going to be a fan of a man who initiates a lawsuit like that, but still you have to wonder–those merchants must have done *something* to cheese him off that badly.
WJS,
It’s America. With enough legal knowledge and lack of scruples you can sue someone for no particular reason at all. What a country!
The Sydney Morning Herald reported this (us Aussies like a nice bit of silliness) with a headline of:
$60m tanty pants judge loses job
And for our American cousins, “tanty” would be a piece of Aussie slang - a shortening of “tantrum”.
Free Roy Pearson! They shouldn’t have lost his damn pants!
Now the drycleaners need to sue him.
Can’t we all just get along?
Perfect justice would now see a scenario evolve whereby he has to emigrate to Korea and set up a dry-cleaning business in order to earn a living. But — absent divine invervention by one of the gods on Olympus, don’t see how that can be made to happen.
Maybe he will end up as a broken and bankrupted man who had to change his name and move elsewhere in the US. And end up with a job pressing pants in a Chinese laundry.
Zeus could then say: “There! That’s ‘close enough for government work’.”
