Get her

Why almost? Sincere question

The situation of a major international company suing a child so poor they didn't even have shoes is just such a ridiculously farcical situation. However, it's also not so far a stretch, unfortunately, to be implausible. If it had been implausible it may have been funny. Fake news outlets like The Onion toe this line pretty well but alot of the "funny" comes from peoples comments on the subject and not the subject itself. An idiots outrage over something that any sane person should be able to tell isn't true is, alot of times, funny. This means that that^, to me, would have been funny if they had included peoples reactionary comments. But alas, they didn't. So it was almost funny.
