An Arkansas man on Friday filed a lawsuit against McDonald’s, alleging a restaurant location uploaded nude photos of his wife onto a web site.
In the suit, Phillip Sherman said he left his phone at a McDonald’s location in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and that a manager promised the phone was secured for him to retrieve it. After picking up his iPhone, photos of Sherman’s wife Tina Sherman made their way onto a web site — along with her name, address and contact information, the suit claims.
The Shermans are suing McDonald’s Corporation and those involved for $3 million to compensate for suffering, embarrassment, loss of earnings and the cost of moving to a new home, according to an Associated Press story. Embarrassed the Shermans must be, because "Tina Sherman nude" is currently one of the hottest Google search terms.
Of course, if their story is true, the Shermans could have avoided this embarrassment altogether if Tina hadn’t e-mailed her husband nude photos in the first place. True, Steve Jobs wants you to treat the iPhone as "your life in your pocket," but given the iPhone’s security flaws, you’ve got to draw the line somewhere, right?
Updated 1 p.m. PDT: Associated Press reports that McDonald’s employees declined to comment, referring reporters to McDonald’s Corporation. McDonald’s Corporation and franchise owners did not return messages seeking comment.
