Cable firm made me TV
addict
A man is taking a cable TV company to court,
claiming it made his wife fat, left his kids couch
potatoes and turned him into a telly addict.
Timothy Dumouchel is making his claim after
he asked cable TV company Charter TV in
Wisconsin, USA, to cancel his service.
Instead they gave him free access for four
years, which he claims ruined the lives of his
family.
He wants $3,000 or three computers and a
free internet service for life, as a settlement.
Charter TV public relations director John
Miller says he doesn't take the threat seriously.
"We consider our service powerful
entertainment, but I don't think it could be
proved to be addictive." |
