An Arkansas man and women are suing McDonalds after leaving a cell phone behind with pics of Tina Sherman. Those photos have now made their way onto the internet, BIG SHOCKER. See a photo here. See a video below.
Here is the story. Phillip Sherman left his cell phone at the McDonalds, but apparently called and was assured by employees that they would keep it safe until he could return and get the phone. Well guess what, the employees apparently did not keep their word. It is even reported that Tina Sherman received text messages from her husband’s cell phone while it was supposedly safe at McDonalds. The texts said “ I have seen your photos, and I like what I see.�?
The couple is suing McDonalds, or at least the local franchisee, for $3,000,000.00. If you can get that much for spilling coffee on yourself, why not for this? It is reported that the Shermans have suffered embarrassment and even had to move because of all this.
Ultimately, we have to ask ourselves why people continue to keep videos and photos on their portable media devices. If it’s not Adrienne Bailon, or Paris Hilton, now it’s even normal everyday people.

I’d love to be on that jury. I would make the Sherman’s pay McDonalds for exposing them to such stupidity.
1. Any reasonably sane person knows the risks of camera phones.
2. Password protection, anyone ?
Just another get rich quick scheme.
Oh..btw, the idiots and McD’s should,at the very least, be fired. Violating anyone’s privacy is just tacky.

I would like to know who or how they even calculate a figure like that given all the unknowns, including themselves. If I was the judge I would toss the case out and advise them to not leave such photos on their phone as it is reasonable to assume their phone will be lost or stolen at some point anyway. Nice of them to think they are worth 3 mil. wonder how they arrived at that figure.

Playboy knocked em back when they asked for 3mil so they thought they would jump on the band wagon and sue McDonalds, why not everything else in this world is caused by maccas so why not sue them for it.
All maccas has to say is that between the time the phone was left and the manager/workers found it anyone could have got their hands on it.
Their staff only have to deny uploading the photos or even viewing them and these guys really don’t have a case.
If they do win Im gonna do it myself.. only Ill be the one posting the photos as well and blaming maccas!!!
