And he’s threatening to sue the cable company.
Timothy Dumouchel of West Bend wants $5,000 or three computers, and a lifetime supply of free Internet service from Charter Communications to settle what he says will be a small claims suit.
Dumouchel blames Charter for his TV addiction, his wife’s 50-pound weight gain and his children’s being “lazy channel surfers,” according to a Fond du Lac police report.
Charter employees called police to the local office at 165 Knight’s Way the evening of Dec. 23 after Dumouchel showed up with a small claims complaint, reportedly intimidated an employee and made “low-level threats” to employees’ safety, according to a police report."

Something completly ruins your health, and saps all your time, and your damages land you in small claims? This is, of course only the tip of a potential iceberg.
If I were a Network exec. I'd make a reality TV show of this guy's
lawsuit. Then, you have an assumption of risk defense to answer the next guy's complaint.
