Student who forgets jock, shows brain in yearbook, sues

[OUDoc]

Tyler Bennett of Colts Neck claims he suffered emotional distress because his genitals were partly visible in a basketball game picture in his 2001 school yearbook.

The suit says Colts Neck High School authorities acted slowly to suppress the yearbook, worsening the distress Bennett suffered as a senior the next year.



The offending photograph, taken from a low angle, showed Bennett shooting a basket on a day he wore boxer shorts instead of an athletic supporter, Kessel says.

They went to the principal on Monday before class and asked him to take action to stop further distribution and to recall yearbooks given to seniors. But he did nothing until Bennett went home in shame during the morning and both his parents returned later in the day, the suit says.

I'll give it him, he has balls.

[Dio]

Now that's a meaty court case.

Egg-sack-ly.

[SoonerWood]

The kid needs to nut up

Maybe they are tiny, and that's the issue.

[SoonerWood]

Are you trying to be frank saying that he has small beans?

[Mjcpr]

Put your emotinal distress in a sack, mister!

[skycat]

I think that the school gave him the shaft.

[toast]

Stanley would have taken him in one on one....if you know what I mean.

[Taxman71]

The only way to win a case like this is to let it all hang out in the courtroom.

[frankensooner]

Just wait til you get a gander at the briefs he files.

[slickdawg]

He's gonna try to compensate for his little package with compensatory damages.

[Partial Qualifier]

Shooting balls suddenly has a whole new meaning.

[WILBURJIM]

Ah, some people get testes over the smallest things.:D

[Taxman71]

Just wait til you get a gander at the briefs he files.

It is way too late for briefs.

[Howzit]

If this drags out in court it could be a testicle of wills.

that would be so awesome if his name was Will.

agitating the plantiff could lead to a real sticky situation.....

[Howzit]

agitating the plantiff could lead to a real sticky situation.....

Especially if the school has much legal stroke.

[frankensooner]

I hope they won't have to Ap-peal it :O

[Taxman71]

You think the judge will have a set of those desk-clackers behind the bench?

[Howzit]

Could get hairy.

[NormanPride]

Didn't we have a judge do this recently? That would be a perfect match.

[swardboy]

That's what he gets for hangin' around..

[TheHumanAlphabet]

I always wore a jock. In fact we were REQUIRED to wear jocks...

[yermom]

maybe he could play for Texass

[NormanPride]

That picture still creeps me out.


I mean, even though Texas lost, the aggies had to win. Ugh!

[OklahomaRed]

He was probably only trying to shoot and score, and the pesky photographer got a negative of his weak attempted to hang 10?

[49r]

It always pays to advertise.

[Widescreen]

I'm getting tired of these junk lawsuits.

[critical_phil]

I'm getting tired of these junk lawsuits.


i'm guessing you're in favor of stiff penalties for junk lawsuits...

[FaninAma]

I heard the photographer gave the excuse that he wasn't sure what he was taking a picture of because it was a little fuzzy.

Still, I am a bit suprised the journalism class teacher and school administrators dropped the ball(s) on this one.

[Mjcpr]

I'm sure something can be worked out before it comes to a lawsuit. You scratch my sack, I'll scratch yours.

[Howzit]

I guess one could refer to this as a legal wrinkle.

Well played.

[Mjcpr]

Did this guy go to any of last year's tailgates?

[Widescreen]

No, we played neither the Trojans, nor the Beavers.

[Hamhock]

He'll win the suit.

It's in the bag.

nm.

[toast]

Ballhandling skills are lacking in today's game.

[slickdawg]

The defense will stick it to him.
