Nude Pics In Phone Lost At McDonald's End Up Online

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Here's some food for thought: If you have nude photos of your wife on your cell phone, hang onto it.

Phillip Sherman of Arkansas learned that lesson after he left his phone behind at a McDonald's restaurant and the photos ended up online. Now he and his wife, Tina, are suing the McDonald's Corp., the franchise owner and the store manager.

The suit was filed Friday and seeks a jury trial and $3 million in damages for suffering, embarrassment and the cost of having to move to a new home.

The suit says that Phillip Sherman left the phone the Fayetteville store in July and that employees promised to secure it until he returned.

Manager Aaron Brummley declined to comment, and other company officials didn't return messages.

That's what you get for eating SWILL..

Blame the big company for hiring a bunch of teenagers to fix you a meal. Trust them to do it right. Trust them to secure your phone where you keep your nudies.. DUHHhhhhh

[nokonafan]

Ah, the Golden Arses!

[boatsfra]

Is this the same as leaving a just bought big mac in an adult book store?

[bighillaryfan]

OK, now we have heard it all. Just leave some n-a-k-e-d pics of the wife at a fast food restaurant and sue.

Is everyone in America a m-o-r-o-n?

[Chillinout]

No, they are just sue-happy. This person sees a way to make a quick buck and he will probably get something too. McDonald's will probably settle out of court.

[SOLERSO68]

Oh yeah sue mcdonalds becuase you left your homade porno on the table.

[twokidsonecat]

Maybe McD's should make Adult Happy Meals with a little porn as the happy.

No one told the employees to post them online. it would've been diff if the phone was just returned but those employees felt the need to take something private and post it online. like y would some1 do that to damage some1s image on purpose? wut were the employees getting out of it except some kind of enjoyment over some1 else embarrassment. it was stupid and they should pay for it. and any1 who take pictures of any1 nude and publicly release them without approval from the person in the photo should be held accountable. th media as to get consent to use photos of ppl so atleast do that first

Accountability is key here and you are right, the employee should be accountable. But so should the man for leaving his phone. I think 3 Million is excessive, moving to another address is excessive. Understand that the employee (hate to be sterotypical) works at McDonalds for cryin out loud. Must be a teenager or . . . someone who generally hasn't learned how to make great life choices . . do you really expect them to respect other's property?

My 4 yr old calls Ronald McDonald "the man with the lipstick". "Mumma can we go to the place with the man with the lipstick?"
Usually I say NO and we go for Sushi instead.

[madisonhack]

Oh come on. Can you spell e-l-i-t-i-s-t? If you really take your kid for Sushi, keep it to yourself so hacks like Ann Coulter can't use it against you.

The Streisand Effect is apparently unknown to these folks.

[NoVA forObama]

I'm going for hoax...

[Salz08]

Nope, not a hoax. I live in Fayetteville (hanging head in shame) and it is sadly true.

[repugnicansfearme]

You want thighs, I mean, fries, with that?

[BannedInBoston]

I visited a story that said "Nude Pics" and all I got was this stupid Ronald McDonald photo....

[puffhost]

I hope that Ronald was not the nude in question! I bet he has a hairy chest.

[Hugh-Gee]

Why take nekkid photos of your wife with your cell phone? Isn't the real thing, which you get to see fairly frequenly, lots better than a lo-res photo on your phone? I understand that people do this, but I truly don't get it.

I hope it wasn't so that he could show the photos to his buds...ala Robert Hanssen. Creepy...

[mahogany37]

Okay how is that McD's fault? Could it be that a CUSTOMER had taken the phone and posted those "private" pics? I mean this is a large restaurant chain we're talking about here.

[BannedInBoston]

The Hamburglar did it!

[rektruax]

Rubble!

[TheJibreelaMonsters]

the only good reason for Camera Phones!

[Susej]

Frivolous case. Will never go through.
Now I want to see the photos. Anybody post the link please.

[socratiskiss]

haha, I was thinking the sam thing! LOL

[twokidsonecat]

Yeah, do you think she has a hot, model like body, or the body of a typically american who eats fast food.

[moosha]

I hope they get this tossed out. How ridiculous - the wife is d u m b enough to let him take the pictures and he's d u m b enough to leave the phone behind and somehow it's McDonald's fault.

[BannedInBoston]

No, come on. It WAS a dumb thing to do, but a store or restaurant IS responsible for returning items that a customer leaves behind and also respecting the customer's privacy.

[ConnectTheDots]

okay... but is it $3M-worth of responsibility?

How about a couple of comp-ed Happy Meals and they call it even?
