Women Sue Over Gorilla's Breast 'Fetish'

WOODSIDE, Calif. (AP) -
Two fired caretakers for Koko, the world-famous sign-language-speaking gorilla, have sued their former bosses, claiming they were pressured to expose their breasts as a way of bonding with the 300-pound simian.
The lawsuit against the Gorilla Foundation and its president, Francine "Penny" Patterson, the longtime trainer of the well-known gorilla, was filed this week in San Mateo County Superior Court. It seeks damages totaling more than $1 million.
The suit claims Patterson pressured the two women on several occasions to expose their breasts to Koko, a 33-year-old female - sometimes in situations where other employees could potentially view their bodies. The women never undressed, said their attorney, Stephen Sommers of San Francisco.
They were threatened that if they "did not indulge Koko's nipple fetish, their employment with the Gorilla Foundation would suffer," the lawsuit alleged.
The lawsuit claims that on one occasion Patterson said, "'Koko, you see my nipples all the time. You are probably bored with my nipples. You need to see new nipples.'"

hmmm, well I can understand the female employees being a wee bit offended at the suggestion, but a million dollars in damages?! hahahahahahahahaha. Puh-lease! Gotta hand it to the guy for being creative in finding ways to see his employees breasts though! "It's not for me, it's for the gorilla. I swear!" They should be forced to expose their breasts to the court as punishment for being such greed bags!

Speaking of nipples, Chip, I exposed mine to someone the other day and he thought they were the finest he'd seen in SL. When I told them who made the skin, he said, "It had to be Chip!" I don't know what that means. _____________________
the truth is overrated  The most successful software company in the world does a piss-poor job on all these points. Particularly the first three. Why do you expect Linden Labs to do any better?  |
