Resentment of the Day: Stop Mocking Adam Holland
Nashville, Tennessee residents Bernard and Pamela Holland are suing three different defendants for using an edited photograph of their son Adam who was born with Down syndrome. Among those accused is a radio station that used the photo of Holland for a segment titled "Retarded News," which highlighted new stories about criminal incompetence. Against all defendants combined, the Holland's are seeking $9 million in compensatory damages and $9 million in punitive damages for a total of $18 million.
