As David Cross’s character Tobias in the Fox cult TV favorite "Arrested Development" found out, the Blue Man Group is not a support group for sad men.

Just ask James Srodon of California, who filed a lawsuit with the Cook County Circuit Court, indicating that he was not a "willing" participant with the Blue Man Group during one of their infamous audience participation bits.

The Blue Men used Srodon for a bit in which they used an "esophagus cam" in Srodon’s throat and projected footage of the inside of someone’s stomach on the stage screen.  Srodon alleges that he did not want to participate, and the Blue Men forced the tube with the camera down his throat, and that the tube was covered in food and other disgusting debris from the theater floor, as well as blue paint from Blue Man hands.

The lawsuit seeks $50,000 for battery, negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress.  Srodon claimed in the suit that the camera injured his mouth, throat and dental work.
