A couple whose wedding photo album came with the characters "no freedom, no future" printed on it has sued the photo studio. According to China Daily, the studio explained their actions by saying that the words "were merely pointing out that some freedoms are lost with marriage and meant no ill will to the marriage". After mediation, the photo studio agreed to pay RMB12,500 to the couple.

Wow, sounds like a prank went wrong...

One of the demo books where a friend and his missus got their photos taken had the phrase "Add text here" on one of the photos. They asked if that meant they could add their own text. They said, "umm, no. It comes with those words only."
