Breaking the Glass Ceiling

Breaking the Glass Ceiling

New York, New York, October 20, 2008:

An angry wife, girlfriend, or constituent might not be the only thing to worry about when visiting a strip club. A man suing a Manhattan club claims a performer's shoe flew off during a pole dance; shattered the mirrored ceiling; and caused glass and the shoe to hit him.

The lawsuit filed by presidential candidate Ron (Ronatarian Party) says the Booby Trap breached its duty when its employee failed to perform her routine in a reasonably safe manner. The suit seeks at least $15,000 in damages.

Ron's attorney Andrew Sepe says his client suffered a small cut to his eyebrow, headaches, and nose bleeds because of the June 14 pole dance. Booby Trap general manager George Geracimos acknowledges paramedics were called but said injuries were minor.

"I cannot see why my client's celebration of Flag Day should have been marred by this establishment's fundamental lack of safety standards," read a statement released by the law offices of Sepe & Shea LLP. "Justice must be served."
