McDonald's sued for £2m over naked photos

User ImageA woman is suing McDonald's for almost £2 million claiming staff took nude photos of her from her husbands mobile phone and posted them on the internet.

Tina Sherman is certainly not 'lovin' it' and says her life has been turned into a living hell since July 5th when husband Phillip accidentally left his mobile phone at an Arkansas McDonald's.

The US couple claim Tina started receiving abusive calls and text messages after burger flippers at the store found saucy photos she had sent to her hubby on his mobile.

Tina then discovered she had joined the ranks of Paris Hilton and Miley Cyrus because the racy 'private' pictures had been uploaded to the internet.

The Shermans are now suing McDonald's Corporation, the franchise owner and the restaurant's manager, for causing emotional distress, embarrassment and damage to their reputations ... people now know they eat at McDonald's.

They also claim the incident caused them a loss of earnings and want to recover the cost of moving to a new home because, well, they are American.

McDonald's Corp have so far refused to comment on the case and the images have since been removed from the website.

and this is once again a lesson as to why you DON'T send naked pictures of yourself to your loved ones phones.

Cuz this s**t will always happen.

some people actually find the pictures of them like that romantic or as a way to excite their partner. the problem is not sending them, but deleting them

I hope the couple gets every penny of what they are suing for, and that the employees of McDonalds are fired.. If it was possible to prosecute the offenders for what they did criminally, I wish the state or federal government would do that too.

Talk about invasion of privacy.

The employees that uploaded the photo's can say they opened the phone to find the prospective owner by going through the phone book, or that they went through the photo's to see if they could recognize the owner from when they came in, or that an employee may have seen the owner taking pics of them and they wanted to make sure there were none, or that they meant to hit the back button and sent them by mistake.

Most likely it was a bunch of 16 year old teens who got overly happy to see boobies.

Oh that article is just terrible.
Using adjectives normally describing food to describe the situation...
I think that blew my mind more than the whole situation.
