Schadenfreude of the Day: A German husband and wife filed a lawsuit against the TV channel RTL after their 15-year-old daughter spotted them in a report about a sex club for swingers.
The couple claim they were promised their faces would be blurred, but the production company failed to follow through. The judge assigned to the case threw it out after concluding that it would be inappropriate for the daughter to testify about what she saw.
He did order RTL to cover the pair’s legal expenses, and expressed his sympathies over the foul up. “I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes,” he is quoted as saying. “That’s simply embarrassing.”
