Harambe’s not the only gorilla causing a stir these days.
Video game company Nintendo of America has been slapped with a lawsuit by a manย who claims a Donkey Kong costume he wore left him seriously injured.
Michael Oconitrillo saysย he was hired to portray the video game character at a Culver City, California, mall in June 2014. He claims that the costume “was poorly ventilated and unreasonably and dangerously hot when used in the manner required of the wearer/user by the said defendants.”
Oconitrillo claims to have suffered “severe, serious and permanent injury to his person,” as well as “mental and emotional distress, pain, suffering and anguish.”
