McDonald's sued over nude photos
A US couple is suing McDonald's for $3m (££2m) after nude photos of the woman, which were on her husband's mobile phone, ended up on the internet.
Phillip Sherman says he accidentally left his phone, with the photos, at a McDonald's in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Well, I’m not going to reveal it here! You’ll just have to go to:
