This is as bad as the American Idol stripper lawsuit.
Man sues Akron strip club for injury
'First time' patron says he was smacked in face by stripper's flying boot

Yusuf Evans says he still bears the pain of his first visit to an Akron strip club.
He says he got the boot — right in the nose, from the wicked flick of a dancer's foot.
It happened, he said, as he sat near the stage with friends inside the XTC nightclub on Brittain Road.
Evans, 37, has filed a lawsuit against the club and an unnamed dancer. He is seeking more than $25,000 for injuries he claims he suffered during his visit a year ago. The case has been assigned to Summit County Common Pleas Judge Brenda Burnham Unruh.
Representatives of the club did not respond to a request for an interview.
''I got injured and I shouldn't have gotten injured just going out and trying to show somebody a good time,'' Evans said in a phone interview. ''I have to live with this the rest of my life probably.''
Evans said he doesn't normally frequent strip clubs, but he made an exception when an out-of-town cousin visited Akron. He said he wanted to be hospitable to his guest and another friend.
The three men were seated near the dance stage while a stripper nicknamed ''Tiara'' performed her routine. The dance included a demonstrative kick, which Evans said caused the stripper's boot to fly off her foot.
Evans said he never saw the boot coming. The thick-heeled
shoe, similar to the platform style worn in the 1970s, smacked him squarely in the face.
He said he was treated at a local hospital for injuries to his nose. Doctors have recommended surgery.
''That was my first time ever there. Isn't that crazy?'' he said. ''My nose got chipped on one side and I constantly lose the ability to breathe out of one nostril; the passageway gets clogged up.''
The lawsuit claims XTC management allowed improper attire to be used by their dancers. The dancers are required ''to wear certain articles of clothing'' and ''actively participate in stage dances'' and that during these routines, ''the stage becomes a hazardous area.''
Evans' attorney, John Brooks Cameron of Medina, could not be reached for additional comment.
