Allergic to WiFi (so let's sue the city)

America: where's it's your God-given right to sue anyone or anything for whatever the hell you want, no matter how absurd it is.

God bless the tinfoil hat brigade:

Arthur Firstenberg says he is highly sensitive to certain types of electric fields, including wireless Internet and cell phones.

"I get chest pain and it doesn't go away right away," he said.

Firstenberg and dozens of other electro-sensitive people in Santa Fe claim that putting up Wi-Fi in public places is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Psst, Arthur, this is what we call a somatization disorder.

Sante Fe, the rest of the country is laughing at you.

  1. If this gets passed by the courts then we are all screwed. So if someone like this idiot is around we there will be a national ban on cellphone and wifi because he thinks he sensitive. If he's so concerned with wifi and cell phones move to the middle of the Dakotas or Montana where there is no around for miles in some cases.
