Physically assaulted by the Internet

Hackers Assault Epilepsy Patients via Computer. Under ‘dickheads’ in the dictionary, you’ll find this lot:
Internet griefers descended on an epilepsy support message board last weekend and used JavaScript code and flashing computer animation to trigger migraine headaches and seizures in some users.
Traumatic workplace experiences
June 4, 2008
Fox News worker sues over bedbugs. Apparently getting bitten three times over a 6 month period by bedbugs is enough to cause Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I am intrigued by her lawyer, Alan Schnurman (“the Larry King of Law“), “who said he has brought numerous bedbug cases.”
Questions raised: (1) Is bedbug infestation a major problem in American workplaces?, and (2) do people really sue over this crap?
