"Sticks and Stones"...worth $1.5 million!

So the gist of this story is that a man owed less than $200 on a credit card and the collection agency handling his account left him a few racially charged voice mails. The result was a $1.5m judgment in his favor.

That takes "sticks and stones" to another level. Personally, I wish they would have called me! A link to the full story can be found here: http://thefreshxpress.com/2010/06/black-ma...
