For fun, file a complaint with Consumer Affairs about Consumer Affairs:

Your Consumer Complaint‏

Thank you for sending your consumer incident report to
ConsumerAffairs.com. The text of your report appears below. PLEASE
REVIEW IT NOW to be certain it is factually accurate. Remember, you
are responsible for the accuracy of the information and you may
be held accountable for any inaccuracies.

We urge you to print the report or save it as a file for your
permanent records.

Your report will be reviewed by our editors and/or our legal counsel who
in turn may refer it to a person who concentrates in the particular
subject area. It is possible our attorneys will contact you for additional
information. You are under no obligation to them and will not be charged
for their initial evaluation.

When we receive a report from our legal consultants, we may advise you of
a procedure or course of action, but we cannot give legal advice. Please
keep in mind that we are not providing your with legal advice and there is
no attorney-client relationship between us. We use the attorneys'
evaluation in our newsletters and Web sites and their evaluation does not
constitute legal advice to you. You should always consult an attorney
familiar with the laws in your locality.

Thank you again for your report. We keep all of the reports we receive and
review them constantly to find patterns of abusive and misleading behavior
that works against the best interests of consumers. We also post excerpts
on our Web site as a guide to other consumers, so the information you
provide will benefit others and may help them make sound consumer
decisions.

Since we are not always able to contact individual consumers with
follow-up information, we publish a free weekly newsletter which is
distributed by email. To active your subscription, go to ConsumerAffairs.com Newsletter Sign-Up. We
never sell or lease names on our list and we do not use it for any purpose
other than distributing our weekly newsletter. However, if you do not wish
to receive the newsletter, directions for canceling your subscription are
included in each week's edition.

Thank you again for writing to us.

Incident = Joe consistently publishes complaints about the Prius with article headers that don\'t match the content. He takes every complaint as if it is the gospel truth and fact based, numbers or any questioning be damned. For example, \"The Ten Worst Used Cars and Trucks\"

It starts out with a claim of \"215,000\" complaints but each of the selected, vehicles has no number of reports out of the 215,000. In short, he has cherry picked his favorites to complain about with no metrics from this claimed 215,000 entry database to back up his claim. This is pure hokum and propaganda.

We also notice that there are no user comments to correct errors in the articles. This is again, the practice of a propagandist who simply \'declares reality\' without allowing any independent fact checking.

Finally, we noticed that in any sort of comparison, such as \"Test Drive: 2006 Toyota Prius,\" no equivalent class vehicle is mentioned. The only other vehicle in the article is a \"powerful C6 Corvette.\" Obviously Joe and his team have no concept of apple-to-apples comparison or fair and objective reporting.

Damage Resulting = We can be sure that \"ConsumerAffairs\" will be quoted by hybrid skeptics only to be shot down as easily as \'fish in a barrel.\' It means over time, Joe\'s reputation and ConsumerAffairs will simply be the home of the \'clueless\' and \'hopeless.\' Those who venture out will be educated to find a better source, one that is fact, not fraud based.

Probably take themselves to court. It's like me on St. Patrick's Day: I have Catholic Irish on one side and Protestant Irish on the other. On St. Patrick's Day I put a bomb in my own car.

Do lawyers still make money when they sue themselves? :madgrin:

Stev0 · Jan 9, 2009

Wouldn't be the first time somebody sued themself.

dogfriend · Jan 9, 2009

What if they all sued each other at the same time? Who would they bill the hours to? Would it all cancel out?

I thought the tradition was to 'get bombed' using green colored beverages:
