Some people have a hard life... this guy isn't one of them.

Man says he’s addicted to cable; wants to sue Charter

"Dumouchel blames Charter for his TV addiction, his wife’s 50-pound weight gain and his children’s being “lazy channel surfers,” according to a Fond du Lac police report."

Here's the kicker:
"According to the report, Dumouchel told Charter employees he plans to sue because his cable connection remained intact four years after he tried to get it canceled.

The result was that he and his family got free cable from August of 1999 to Dec. 23, 2003."

Of all the addictions I can think of, a cable addiction that doesn't drain your bank account sounds like a pretty good deal.
