back to article Man sues Apple for allowing him to become addicted to porn

A self-confessed porn addict is sueing Apple after he claims he became so hooked on watching rude videos that his wife left him. Tennessee man Chris Sevier, 36, has filed a 50-page complaint with the state's supreme court in which he slams the fruity firm for failing to install a blue movie filter on new devices. He wants …

      I'm sueing you! (Re: I'm Suing the Reg !)

    You know who blames other people for their own misgivings? Psychopaths.

    There need to be 3 possible verdicts for a civil suit

    Plaintiff wins, gets costs & possibly some damages

    Plaintiff loses, pays own costs, may have to pay other sides costs, but not necessarily.

    Plaintiff judged such a fuckwit that they have to pay other side's costs + massive fine for wasting courts time.

    We have the same problem here (in a less extreme form) where no-win, no-fee suits against public organisations such as the NHS are effectively risk free, and where the costs of settling are less than the costs of going to court the organisations just swallow the bill. Which means the taxpayers do.

        Perfect, my typing skills, using just one hand and half an eye are almo...whoooaa wobbly bits, hairy no tails, arrgghh, fnah fnah, kipperbang urrrghhh....yes it works perfectly.

        Yes, on a scale of one to five I'd give it five fingers up...oh God, my experiment is out of control, I'm jizzed for the rest of my sordid life, arrrgh, bottoms, lipstick round the nipples, great googly booglies.

    It's a common mistake.

    " Worst of all, the filing reads, none of the shiny happy fanbois and fangurlz at the Apple store warned him what arousing evils were lurking out there on the internet."

    It's because they made the mistake, which most people would prior to speaking with him, of assuming he had any common sense. Clearly everyone knows that the internets only true purpose is for porn; they even have informational videos using clever lyrics to tell us what the internets is for.

    Sadly Apple isn't to blame, but apparently neither is Chris.

    Dear El Reg...

    Please can we have Playmobil reconstruction of the trial when they laugh him out of the courtroom?

  7. Cameron Colley

    It does beg the question though:

    If Apple think porn isn't a bad thing then why is it banned form its "app store" (R) TM?

    Don't get me wrong, the guy's a duche but Apple's store policy surely means they "know there is something wrong with porn"?

    Number 23 is a cracker!

    "APPLE IS HIJACKING GREAT SEX BY FAILING To SELL ITS DEVICE IN SAFE MODE"?

    WTF - surely I could still manage a good fuck while holding a phone at the same time?

    People who file frivolous lawsuits should be severely disciplined

    There need to be penalties for filing frivolous lawsuits. I think this guy should be bound, gagged and flogged with a riding crop.

  10. Anigel

    Guess it can't affect his life that badly if he has had time to write and file a 50 page complaint. I suggest he should also include his ISP as the apple device without any internet connection would not have had any porn to play.

  11. Herby

    I suppose he might Sue The Sun...

    ...over the Page Three Girls.

    Putting it in a UK context (all the way from California!).

  12. RAMChYLD

    Why not blame his wife instead?

    If she hadn't left him he wouldn't have come down to this.

  13. Rattus Rattus

    Personal fucking responsibility

    It is apparently a trait being bred out of the species.

  14. SXB

    As tax payers we should sue his parents for teaching him the wrong thing - blame others for his problems and waste tax money for the court. His schools should be sued too.

  15. Rambler

    sadly, too old to remember who it was that corrupted me - but it was definately a she, not a what or a thing, I think ................. so will be unable to sue anyone :o(

    maybe THAT is something to sue for .......... if I could just remember what :o)

    He bought an iDevice unaware it would turn him into a complete wanker? Had he not met anyone else with one?

    "That's the great thing about this country. You can sue anyone for pretty much anything. And you'll probably win. Or at least get a settlement".

      Re: GTA

      I suspect he will find that Apple decide to field some rather expensive lawyers (working directly for Apple, and not a law firm), and he will end up losing and paying costs to them. Apple's execs must be laughing all the way to the bank.

    Thank Azathoth this poor man never once set foot in a newspaper and magazine shop. The consequences could have been publicly humiliating as well as divorce fodder.

    Matthew 18:9 "And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee"...

    Now, I know that Apple corps may seem to be omni-present of late, but if we're really going to lay blame and go back to the "original sin", don't you think the guy who first came up with the Apple idea (no, not Steve) should have the blame for this guy's downfall placed firmly at his feet? I mean, who else gave him the hands, eyes and appendages which made him capable of committing these self-debasing acts?

    Hey, you can get rid of you're iPad, but hey, you'll still have your hands etc. You KNOW what to do, homeboy, SNIP....
