Oh. I Don't Think So.

The link reads:

McDonald's sued after nude pics lost in phone go online.

Yeah. The AP is running the story of a guy that left his phone at a McD's. Apparently, he called and the employees said they would "secure" it for him. The naked photos of his wife show up online. Because they were on the phone.

So he is suing McDonald's for $3 million dollars because they had to move away.


I was in college when the famous McDonald's coffee case was decided:

Woman was driving with a McDonald's coffee cup between her legs. Coffee spilled and she was burned, admittedly pretty badly, then sued McDonald's for not telling her the coffee could due that. She won the case.

I wanted her arrested for driving that way. And being stupid. And cashing in on being stupid.


Anyway, if the guy wanted to sue the jerk who put the naked pictures online, it would be one thing. But unless the store manager put the pictures up on McDonald's corporate web site, I think this is utterly ridiculous. Awarding him a dime is just encouraging the madness.
