    How likely is that chunk to be thrown out for being obviously ridiculous?

      In a past life, pretty plausible.

      Now that Elmo is the First Lady, this is the best TOS that’s ever been written by anyone ever. It’s perfect. It probably trumps the constitution because of how perfect it is.

      According to the article, not that likely:

      Terms requiring users to sue in specific courts are usually enforceable, Vanderbilt Law School Professor Brian Fitzpatrick told Ars today. “There might be an argument that there was no consent to the new terms, but if you have to click on something at some point acknowledging you read the new terms, consent will probably be found,” he told us in an email.

      A user attempting to sue X in a different state or district probably wouldn’t get very far. “If a suit was filed in the wrong court, it would be dismissed (if filed in state court) or transferred (if filed in federal court),” Fitzpatrick said.
