As a general instance of a (so-called) daft lawsuit, this story might be considered funny (especially in the UK where we're still quite prudish about sex and sex workers).
If you think of the article as a specific instance of someone who is actually suffering, then it's not funny.
But then, is seeing someone with their arm trapped in a printing press entertaining? I watched it all the way through with a sort of gruesome fascination. Public executions attract enthusiastic crowds around the world. Sarah Palin enjoys shooting moose. Killing fish is a very popular hobby. Maybe, as a species, we just aren't as enlightened as we like to pretend we are (I know I'm not, but don't tell anyone
).
