(Also known as the $67 Million Pants Suit)

In this video, Jin and Soo Chung, owners of the now infamously sued dry cleaners, speak out through a female translator about the bizarre court case in which the Chungs were sued for $67 million for a lost pair of pants. That case was finally thrown out earlier this year with the Chung’s winning , but not before they’d almost lost everything they’d worked for their entire lives due to their legal costs. Judge Roy Pearson would later lose his job, in part because "his suit against Mr. Chung demonstrated a lack of 'judicial temperament'."

The Chungs have since withdrawn their motion to recover their own costs and impose sanctions when they recovered their money through fund-raising efforts by benefactors. That's the good news. The bad news is that one of these benefactors was an offshoot of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce who, since 1997, has become a fully functional part of the partisan Republican machine, raising up to $150M, with a primary interest is in Tort Reform. What has this got to do with the Chungs? Simple: they’re being used.

Which brings us to the video above:

"The Chamber’s Institute for Legal Reform has unveiled a slick new PR campaign to convince Americans that the little guy, and not, say, the enormous corporations that fund the campaign, is at risk of personal disaster at the hands of a greedy trial lawyer. While the medium is new for the Chamber, the new lawsuit abuse videos consist of the same old corporate propaganda bashing the civil justice system, and most of it is highly misleading."
