French ISP Orange Fined For Offensive Temporary Password 18
courteaudotbiz writes "French ISP Orange has been fined 13000 Euros after being sued by a man named Mohamed Zaidi, who has been assigned the temporary password 'salearabe' (dirtyarab) by e-mail after he placed a support call. At the hearing, the prosecutor called the password 'offensive, insulting and even defamatory.'"

I don't care what his psychological problems are, if that was randomly generated he should just shut up.
Stupid courts.
If on the other hand someone specifically wrote that because they know some uptight people would get offended, well that person should probably be fired then.
