Sounds like another McDonald's law suit...

June 17, 2005 -- A Queens couple claims their daughter's memories of elementary school have been marred by a "horrible" yearbook pho- to, and are demanding the school recall all 200 books and replace the picture. Michelle Maihepat, of South Ozone Park, said her 11-year-old daughter, Asheana, is so embarrassed by the "bad picture" that she has been crying and hiding her face in shame from her sixth-grade classmates at PS 121 since the yearbooks were distributed Monday. "For the rest of her life, she's going to have to be ashamed of that horrible picture," Maihepat said. "Twenty years down the line, she's going to look at this book with her friends, and her friends are going to say, 'What happened to you there?' "

Just when you think you've heard it all . . .
At my highschool, all the kids with horrible acne got their faces photoshopped into perfect skin. You couldn't recognize a single one of them.
'Just damn' ping
Your regressing the pain. Get a lawyer.
But without having status as a victim, what else is there for these sorts of people. Now the child has a built in excuse that will serve her in perpetuity as she stumbles through life. LOL, and her parents have given themselves cover when their daughter fails. Oh the damn picture...if only...
It's gotta be about the money.
They still have retake days....
LOL!
Cute alpaca!
Oh sure, someone is going to be blackmailed over their 5th grade photo. The parents really had to dig deep to come up with that one!
LOL.........you can do this? I need to talk to my mother and find an attorney!
LOL, great photo.
If I was the principal, I would have said "Lady, You only have to look at that picture when you open up the yearbook. We have to look at your kids ugly mug everyday. Who should be hiring a lawyer here?"
Maybe next year, Mom should take her daughter to the Ford Modelling Studio for her yearbook pic. Because obviously, it's a big damn, deal!
Oh, give me a break! Twenty years from now, that book will either be collecting dust in some bookcase, or she and her friends will all have a good laugh. If she matures enough to be able to laugh at herself in twenty years. Parents are wussies nowadays. Too afraid of wounding their children's precious self-esteem. My parents would have said "It's just a picture." Heck, I never had nice pictures, but who cares? Time rolls on, and that stuff just isn't important anymore.
Bwahahahaaa! Oh, my...
Where do these people come from?
There is no sanity left on this earth.
Sorry Michelle, but that IS Asheana's good picture. They tried taking others, but the cameras kept breaking.
And a picture of her sobbing with accompanying whiney story is not embarrassing at all!
Doesnt look like that bad of a picture to me.
I graduated from high school in 1977, the era of big hair for guys. I thought my look was fairly "conservative" but when I saw the picture I was horrified at how bad it looked. I seriously doubt after 28 years though that many of my classmates look at that yearbook anymore. The last time I looked at mine I got a few laughs over the leisure suits and other fashion disasters of the day.
