Is it just me? does anyone else find the fact that there is a town in Wisconsin called "Fond du Lac" funny... get it? fondue, wisconsin, cheese...
seriously, or maybe not, there is a story in the cutting edge Fond du Lac Reporter about a man who is suing his cable company. His claim, you ask? The cable television has made his wife fat and his kids lazy. Apparently, he called the cable company and had it disconnected, but for some reason it still worked event though his account was cancelled... I guess he was unaware that he could just unplug it and keep it unplugged. “I believe that the reason I smoke and drink every day and my wife is overweight is because we watched TV every day for the last four years," the plaintiff was said in a written complaint. The reason I smoke and drink everyday is the cable company.... interesting legal argument...
The plaintiff, one Timothy Dumouchel of West Bend wants $5,000 or three computers, and a lifetime supply of free Internet service from Charter Communications to settle what he says will be a small claims suit.
