Teen Sues Mime School
REGINA (FN) - The expression "silence is golden" may have a whole new meaning if a Regina youth has his way.
David McIvor, a 15-year-old Uplands resident, today filed suit against the Regina Mime Arts School Inc. for $1 million for "pain, suffering and general suckitude."
"The pamphlet said they were going to teach me 'the ancient silent arts.' I thought if was going to be some kinda cool ninja sh_t. Instead, it was a bunch of guys in fruity clown get-ups pretending to be trapped in a box. It was so gay!" said McIvor.
Although the beginner-level class fees are only $50, McIvor said he arrived at the million-dollar damages figure "...because it sounds like f_ckin' Doctor Evil, man!"
Ray Hughes, owner of the school, reacted to news of the suit by rubbing his eyes as though crying, pretending to take out his wallet and flapping his hands like a bird flying away.
In a phone interview, Martin Windsor, president of the Canadian Association of Mime and Pantomime Arts (CAMPA) made no comment.
