Of the legal variety...

Iggle Piggle co-star 'fired over suit complaint'

An actor who played a character in an award-winning BBC children's television show claims he was put in danger by being made to wear a faulty suit for three months, an employment tribunal has heard.

Isaac Blake, 28, told the hearing he went to hospital twice and was forced off work for a week after suffering injury while performing on the CBBC show "In The Night Garden", which stars the character Iggle Piggle.

Mr Blake, who played a Tombliboo in the popular show, says he was dismissed for complaining about the faulty Animatronic suit and also claims he was discriminated against and verbally abused for being homosexual.

He claims a colleague called him a "bitch" and a "faggot" but when he made a formal complaint he was told to "shut up and get on with it"... (source)

Say it with me now, kids:

BITCH!

In another incident in May 2006, Mr Blake says he suffered pelvic injuries after being asked to lean over for long periods while wearing the pink and brown bear suit. After visiting hospital he was signed off work for a week with an injured pelvis.

"It was fun being a teddy bear, it was a fun job. If I had just shut my mouth and took the abuse, I would still be there."

Mmmm....'kay. You'd kinda think he'd be used to that position, wouldn't you?

Blinded and sweating, too.

I know I get sore from bending over to much, maybe he needs to position a pillow under himself? Helps me out ...

Kim, I personally recommend the fuck bench. Much easier on your back and a tasteful furniture addition to any decor.

Does it come apart for easy storage? I think I would get the LIBERATOR first, though not sure how easy it is to clean ?

Are you drunk? Was that even remotely necessary? Does it have anything to do with the convo here? No, I'm not kicking you off XM for being an ass, but you can probably expect Taint to be peeved.
