Google porn suit thrown out

NEW YORK (UPI) -- A New York doctor's lawsuit against three former employees he said caused his Internet obsession by associating his name with pornography has been thrown out.

Dr. Arden Kaisman claimed in his suit against the three ex-employees -- who sued their former boss for sexual harassment in 2007 -- that they and others conspired to have his name associated with hardcore pornography on search site Google, the New York Post reported Thursday.

"I find myself obsessed with 'Googling' my name," Kaisman said. "The Internet, the great information equalizer, has been corrupted to hurt me ... I'm told I have an 'incurable Internet disease.'"

However, in tossing out the suit, New York State Supreme Court Justice Jane Solomon said there is no evidence linking the former employees to the Google association. The judge also said Kaisman cannot sue the three women on pornography-related matters because he has admitted to e-mailing them "sexually explicit images."

Yet another example of the frivolus lawsuits that modern day america has become the laughing stock of the world for, hooray. If the people making these rediculous lawsuits had actual repercussions for wasting the courts time we would see fewer of them. Of course, considering the corruptness of most legal courtrooms that could become a horrifing two way street also so I suppose we will just have to put up with it :(
