Cable TV made a West Bend man addicted to TV, caused his wife to be
\n overweight and his kids to be lazy, he says. And he’s suing the cable
\n company for failing to shut his service off when he cancelled.<\/p>\n
Timothy Dumouchel of West Bend wants $5,000 or three computers, and a
\n lifetime supply of free Internet service from Charter Communications
\n to settle what he says will be a small claims suit.<\/p>\n
According to the report, Dumouchel told Charter employees he plans to
\n sue because his cable connection remained intact four years after he
\n tried to get it canceled. The result was that he and his family got
\n free cable from August of 1999 to Dec. 23, 2003.<\/p>\n
"I believe that the reason I smoke and drink every day and my wife is
\n overweight is because we watched TV every day for the last four years,”
\n Dumouchel stated in a written complaint against the company, included
\n in a Fond du Lac police report.<\/p>\n
