Dr. Bapswent Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7744345.stm McDonald's sued over nude photos McDonald's has so far refused to comment on the case A US couple is suing McDonald's for $3m (?2m) after nude photos of the woman, which were on her husband's mobile phone, ended up on the internet. Phillip Sherman says he accidentally left his phone, with the photos, at a McDonald's in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He says staff promised to secure the phone until he could retrieve it. The Shermans claim they had to move to a new home after the woman's name, address, and phone number appeared online along with the photos. Tina Sherman says she began receiving offensive calls and text messages about the pictures from her husband's mobile phone after he left it at the McDonald's on 5 July. The couple then discovered that the nude pictures she had sent to her husband's phone had been posted online. The Shermans are suing McDonald's Corporation, the owner of the franchise involved and the restaurant's manager, saying they have suffered emotional distress, embarrassment and damage to their reputations. They also allege loss of earnings and want to recover the cost of moving to a new home. McDonald's Corp, the franchise owner and the manager have so far refused to comment on the case. The nude pictures have been removed from the website that had posted them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generic Username Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 It's this kind of crap that makes America so hard to tolerate. Taking legal action against the place you left your phone in? Never mind trying to find out who put the pictures up and getting them done - lets just go after whoever can give us the most money. Watching things like Judge Judy, it's incredible the stupidity and low levels some people will go to over there to cash in. "You broke my window, I want $20,000."

Canada just passed a law stating that if someone is too fat for one airline seat they will get a second one free of charge. Now, that is stupid.

I P Knightley Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Am I the only one who read the town name as Fattyville? Almost exactly what I was going to post when I first read it. Why would someone have dirty photies of their wife on their phone? The story says she sent them to him. So, instead of waiting for him to get home from work/McLunch & popping him a flash of the ******, she decides to pop into the ladies' room and take a couple of quick up-skirt snaps and sends them to him... ... while he's trying to eat a burger She shouldn't be allowed within 50 yards of a camera ever again.
