This Couple Isn't Lovin' It

You may recall the story I had the other day about not pointing your iPhone camera at anything you don't want the whole world to see. Well, that goes for other cellphone cameras too:

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.

I'm sorry, but if you're dumb enough to put nudie photos on your cellphone and you leave it somewhere, any unwanted exposure is your fault. The court should toss this case in less time than it takes McDonald's to get your order wrong at the drive-through.
