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.

{Seems to me this couple got just what they deserved. If your going to put things like nude photo's of yourself on a cell phone you better not lose it! Why they think McDonald's is somehow responsible is beyond me. I heard this sort of thing was not uncommon with teenagers as well. Aren't they afraid their parents will see it?? Should cell phones have camera's in them? Can they be disabled? What do you think?}
