On Point News – 12/20/08:

For five months, the Bourne family of Warwick, R.I., allegedly had an unwelcome intruder in their home –- the hardcore porn programming of the Playboy Channel. Now they are suing their cable provider for trespassing on their property.

The law of trespass has been used to combat computer viruses and spam e-mail, but the Bournes’ suit against Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) appears to ignore what distinguishes their case –- they could have avoided any exposure to “sexually explicit hardcore pornography” by simply not viewing the Playboy Channel.

The “unauthorized transmissions” into the Bournes’ home allegedly began in March. The family did not subscribe to the Playboy Channel and, the complaint says, repeatedly notified Verizon of “the harm that was being caused.”

“The Defendant, Verizon, continually broadcast and transmitted sexually explicit hardcore pornography into the premises after it had received notice of the prior unauthorized entries,” Robert Bourne, his wife and two children allege.

The suit also includes claims for negligence, nuisance and invasion of privacy, alleging that Verizon failed to maintain “reasonable and proper control over its equipment” and unreasonably intruded on the plaintiffs’ “right to physical solitude or seclusion.”

    >>Then once when I said “does that look
    >>infected to you” she left me.

    What were you referring to? Her tits? That would explain the unnatural swelling.

    Nothing wrong with her tits. They look nice on her. They’re not that big.

    The only size limit with tits is gravity, as long as the tits can support their own weight, they can be as big as God or a doctor made ’em.

    35. “I’ll bet you guys emptied out the Vaseline jar over

    Ok, apparently there is a size limit other than gravity.

    #38 – That made me fill my sinuses with beer! Holy Rove Almighty! Speechless I am left, Luke.

    A couple of minutes of siliconefree.com and our original Asian tart looks positively small. Funny how perspective changes.

  10. If you don’t subscribe to the channel, they won’t send it. It’s every 16 yr old’s dream of getting free PBTV. Nice pic of the asian gal. Yummy..

    Yep, as others have already mentioned:

    1. They could easily set up parental controls to block the station from showing.

    2. If they can sue for issues with the Playboy channel, then the rest of us should be able to sue to remove other channels we don’t want/like (religion, foreign language, etc..).

    This then brings us back to paying for channels ala carte. I still wish this was an option.
