This is just embarrassing.

Wow. How pathetic can you be? Apparently humanity's potential for suckdom has hit (quite literally, in fact) new lows. A New York businessman has apparently filed a lawsuit against a stripper who supposedly gave him "serious injuries" sustained during her lap dance.

Incredible. First, my take on the matter is.....you live by the sword (or in the case, perhaps "pole" would be the more appropriate term), you die by the sword. You pay for a lap dance, you suck it up when her stripper shoe hits you in the eye.....right? Apparently not. Instead, our asshat du jour Stephen Chang files suit. I have to ask....where is your sense of shame, Mr. Chang??? You are a securities trader. You can afford to be a member of an exotic dance club that is the self-described "Playboy Mansion of Manhattan party lofts" (excuse me while I grab my smelling salts and swoon with excitement). The court fees and retainer for your attorney alone will far exceed whatever damages you win - if you win, and who better to sway a jury (or a judge!) than a stripper, folks? - from someone who has to make her living dancing on a pole and in ugly men's laps.

My only guess is that Mr. Chang was a securities trader at the venerable financial institution Bear Stearns, and he thinks his only guaranteed source of income after this week is to abase himself by whoring himself out to someone in a more fortunate financial position than he is in.....kind of like a stripper does, come to think of it. Oh, karma is such a bitch.
