<div class="IPBDescription">For overweight wife and lazy kids</div> <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->One Wisconsin man is suing Charter Communications because his wife is overweight, his kids are lazy and he claims he's addicted to the company's service. The man says he'll settle out of court for five thousand dollars, three computers, and a lifetime of broadband access. According to the Fond Du Loc, Wisconsin Reporter, the man's wife has gained fifty pounds and his children are "lazy surfers" because of Charter. The man apparently showed up in December to local Charter offices with his small claims complaint, telling employees that if they didn't get him a supervisor, they'd wind up "in the ocean with the sharks."

"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," says Timothy Dumouchel in his claim. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    This reminds me of that penny arcade strip where they try making fun of Doom 3.... you just can't make fun of it. Its making so much fun of itself, its not possible.

    No offense meant, but are Americans really THAT stupid?
    If he's asking for money, computers and a connection that means he has nothing against his wife and kids surfing,
    and if he has nothing against it, he has no reason to sue them, <i>right?</i>

    You Americasn are STRAAANGE people

    Yes, based on this one guy you now have enough empirical data to judge 300,000,000 people. What country are you from, so that I may make broad sweeping generalisations and stereotypes?

    Update: Ahh! I can see from your IP address that you are probably Dutch and from Amsterdam. Every single one of your countrymen are degenerate pot-head losers that live off the dole, have endless unwed mothers and orphans, and love all forms of vice, making you the stinking scum-alley of vice in western europe.

    There, I can generalize too, based on one guy I saw in Amsterdam. Next? <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

    A buddy of mine told me a story about when his brother went to Amsterdam. He went to the <span style='color:red'>Red Light District</span> and went into a bar. A man asked him what kinda drugs he wanted. When he said he didn't do any, the Man punched him in the face and told him to get the F out!

    Sounds like a nice place! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I like how he is suing them for providing the service, but as part of the settlement he wants a lifetime of the service.
