McDonald's sued over nude photos

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.


wow america, wow

Thats what you get for going to McDonalds

What the feck? This is lulzy! But also 'tarded.

I'll say it with Andrew: Wow, America, wow.

What a great age we live in. Truly this is what our ancestors dreamed of for us when they lived in their caves all those hundreds of thousands of years ago...

i have to say though, this is a better case than, "mcds made me fat!"

Both of those cases boil down to the responsibility of the person suing though, not McDonald's. Besides, you know that the wife's pictures were already all over the internet before that.

And now that I have you all searching...
