Esophogeal Litigation - The Blue Man Group goes too far

Everyone's favorite multi-billionaire performance artists are getting sued by an audience member from their Chicago show. Apparently their avant-garde-artistry-cum-Dell-commercial involved shoving a camera down some old man's throat.

Unlike a bunch of other audience members who have seen the Blue Men, this particular "square" was not amused.

The Blue Man actors used the "esophagus cam" to project an image of Srodon's mouth and throat onto a screen for the audience's amusement, according to the suit filed in Cook County Circuit Court.

Srodon was in the audience with his 8-year-old grandson when the Blue Men approached him, the lawsuit alleges.

The Blue Man actors circled around him, held his neck and arms and "forced his head back" to insert the camera, according to the suit.

Srodon "struggled to free himself and remove the 'esophagus cam' from his mouth but was forcibly restrained by the Blue Man actors," the lawsuit said.

Let this be a lesson to performance artists everywhere: Don't get rich. As long as you stay poor no one will sue you. For pete's sake, Ron Athey flung AIDS-tainted blood at his audience members and he's a master teacher at NYU.

For those at work or without speakers, here's what our friend has to say when he misses a call:

Good morning and welcome to hte United States of America. Please press 1 for English. Press 2 to disconnect until you learn how to speak English. And remember, only two defining forces have ever died for you: Jesus Chris and the American solider. One died for your soul, the other died for your freedom.

I'm a squirrel! Its my birthday! I'm a squirrel! Its my birthday!

I happened upon this decimated birthday cake on the streets of brooklyn. It was a spiderman cake, so I have to assume its destruction led to the shedding of many manchild tears. But this little squirrel took the opportunity to chow down on what was left.
