Injured man wins damages for sex overdrive -
LONDON (Reuters) - A devout Christian who said an accident at work boosted his libido and wrecked his marriage as he turned to prostitutes and pornography was awarded more than 3 million pounds ($5.89 million) in damages Tuesday.
Stephen Tame, 29, from Suffolk, suffered severe head injuries in a fall, transforming him from a loyal newlywed into a "disinhibited" character who had two affairs.
He was in a coma for two months after falling from a gantry while working at a bicycle warehouse shortly after his marriage in January 2002. Doctors said it was a miracle he survived.
Awarding him 3.1 million pounds in compensation at London's High Court, Judge Michael Harris said: "His life and the life of his young wife were shattered."
His former employer, Professional Cycle Marketing, of Essex, had argued through their lawyers that his injuries were not as bad as suggested in court.

Because the STB software is TERRIBLE. It makes my old buggy/blue screen a week WMC seem like a finely tuned machine.
Its a good thing the picture quality is absolutely fantastic because that box is a MESS.
Writing your Senator is nice, writing your Senator who is on the Committee where this bill was referred to is even better...
So if you're from the following states: Alaska - Arizona - Montana - Mississippi - Texas - Maine - Oregon - Nevada - Virginia - New Hampshire - South Carolina - Louisiana - Hawaii - West Virginia - Massachussetts - North Dakota - California - Florida - Washington - New Jersey - Nebraska - Arkansas...
Step up. No need to be dramatic, just tell it how it is.
What do you do if you can compete with the guy down the street? Pay (err lobby) the government to pass laws which will make your competition less competitive.
Bet if you dig deep enough into the Senator's contributions you'll find $$ from the Broadcast lobby. My.02, this is nothing more than Broadcast media trying to legislate competition into the cable channels under the guise of 'standards'.
They're trying to do it to XM and Sirius under the guise of 'National Security', this is nothing different.
Call me cynical...
