Attorneys for Phillip and Tina Sherman , of Arkansas, filed a lawsuit against the McDonald's Corporation, the franchise owner and the store manager for $3 million dollars.
Mr. Sherman lost his cell phone at a McDonald's restaurant and pictures of he and his wife contained in the phone, have found their way onto the internet. The suit was filed in court on Friday November 21st seeking damages for suffering, embarrassment, and the cost of moving to a new town.
This is one more example of the types of lawsuits that have been filed against the McDonald's corporation for very large amounts of money. This author can not help but think that 3 million dollars seems excessive, but perhaps they intend to use the money for tummy tucks, implants and enlargements and every bit of it might be necessary. I have no idea, I have not seen the pictures.
I look forward to following this story as it unfolds, it will be interesting to see what a jury thinks, if it gets that far.

Top-level comments on this article: (6 total)Jeff, I couldn't agree more with the comment about hanging on to the phone. I saw this news story online and my first thought was why do these women not think before sending these nude pics. How many celebrities have had their pics plastered online after doing something like this. Maybe there needs to be a warning on phones like the one McDonalds now has to put on their coffee cups about the coffee being hot?! Great article!I just want to thank you for your response, I find it interesting how some articles can have thousands of "hits" without any one taking the time to say something.Jeff, they come looking for visuals not real information. That's why the hits but no comments. The same happened with another article here. Her name escapes me, but she's from Australia and reported about nude pics of a girl as art. The hits hit the ceiling!
I hadn't heard about this story. Thanks for writing it.
PS I found it by clicking to see what articles were "hot" by readers.LOL, camera phones with "Contents may be HOT" warnings and saucy photos on them :)
Did you see the writing tip online today? HmmmThe tip for the day that the above writer listed related to everything on the Internet belongs to someone. I know that, I am not an idiot Hmmmm. For his/her information everything related to a lawsuit is public information, and nothing except my personal opinion is contained in my article that is not listed in the body of the lawsuit.If I am doing something wrong, tell me and have the courage to sign your name.
Jeff,Congratulations on writing an article that produced record hits for you. Keep up the good work.You were the one that taught me what kind of article gets hits, and what to do about it. Place me in your book for tuesday.
The second sentence in this story is a run-on, and it contains a coma splice and the incorrect use of a subject pronoun in a prepositional phrase. Just fyi.
If they pull off that lawsuit maybe I should sue them for serving too much salt on their food? Or maybe too many calories in their food? How about the bathroom was dirty and exposed me to germs?
hate to say it (but $%&*@$%& happens). there was a risk taking photos as such on a device that lends its3elf to being mobile. now they want money for not keeping tract of there own personel items,even if an employee found it. it is an unfortunate situation , i agree, but at some point in time, we as a society are going to have to stop blaming everyone else for our own short comings, because someone else did not tell us ,not to take dirty pictures of our self ,and then don't leave it some where , etc.... etc.... . maybe next time COMMON SENSE will find it's way onto there phone , and the courts will not be tied up with yet another waste of time law suit that only benefits , the lawyer(which should be disbarred for filing such a case)and the low lifes for trying to get rich off of someone else. and in the long run those trying to provide for there families , paying there taxes, looking out for one another, or just lend a hand because it's the right thing to do. will once more be paying the bill, is not that trickle down thing neato. good luck america.
