Papa John's Sued For Unwanted Pizza-Related Texts
jfruh writes "Nationwide pizza chain Papa John's is finding itself on the receiving end of a $250 million text spam lawsuit. From the article: 'Seattle law firm Heyrich Kalish McGuigan, representing three Papa John's customers, alleged that the pizza delivery service has sent 500,000 unwanted text messages to customers. If the court finds that Papa John's violated the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the pizza maker could have to pay damages of $500 per text message, or US$250 million, one of the largest damage awards under the 1991 law, the law firm said.
"Many customers complained to Papa John's that they wanted the text messages to stop, and yet thousands of spam text messages were sent week after week," Donald Heyrich, attorney for the plaintiffs said in a statement. "This should be a wake-up call to advertisers. Consumers do not want spam on their cell phones."'
How are they morons when it was Obama that said he wanted the 30 hour maximum for workers in order to reduce unemployment? Blame the guy that created the policy rather than the victim of the policy.
It is wrong.
This is just payback for PapaJohn's CEO for criticizing ObamaCare.
Companies that do not subscribe to liberal ideas are being attacked (look at Chick Fil A, HobbyLobby, Applebees, Boy Scouts) and will continue to be until they are to afraid to do anything other than to sell out their beliefs. Attempts to show support for these companies are routinely mocked while boycotts against them are praised.
And companies that push liberal ideas are praised for being progressive so it's not as simple as people don't want politics mixed with business.
If you get killed because you're reading text messages while driving, that's your own dumb fault.
