China couple sue metro over kiss: A Chinese couple are to sue the operators of the Shanghai metro after video footage showing them kissing at a tube station appeared on the web. [photo link]Click here to watch the video at YouTube.
The couple say their passionate embrace was taped by metro staff and uploaded onto video-sharing websites with mocking comments in the background. The clip was viewed by 15,000 people within two days of being put online.
The couple say the video, which was shot in September and posted on websites Youtube.com and Ku6.com last week, had embarrassed them and violated their privacy.
The unnamed man in the video told China Daily
We think employees of the metro station taped us illegally and made negative comments. This has to do with the protection of the legal rights of all passengers traveling on metro trains in Shanghai, and not simply our own interests and [the] damage it has done to us. Now, every time I walk into a metro station, I feel very uncomfortable.Other links:
