Do not pet the animals...unless they ask


ORLANDO, Fla. - A Walt Disney World employee dressed as the character "Tigger" was accused of hitting a child while posing for a photo, a spokeswoman for the theme park said Saturday.

Park officials temporarily suspended Michael J. Fedelem while they investigate the accusations, Disney spokeswoman Zoraya Suarez said.
"Naturally, physical altercations between cast members and guests are not tolerated," Suarez said.

In 2004 a Walt Disney World employee dressed as Tigger was accused of touching the breast of a 13-year-old girl while she posed with him for a photo.


A “cast member” acting inappropriately? I can’t believe that because surely this is a talented and intelligent man working as Tigger. Exactly what “cast” is this dude a part of; the cast of drunks, pedophiles, and pimpled faced tools who take these jobs? Don't we all grow up dreaming of dawning a full length tiger suit in the heat of Florida and posing for pictures with creeped out kids? Yeah sure, sign me up for that gig along with the mall security guard job and movie theater usher.

If you ask me, it is the father who should be arrested. Who allows their son to go out in public wearing a cut-off shirt and then makes him pose for a picture with Tigger? This is the same kind of father who drags their family across the country in a RV all for that precious picture of them placing their foot on the one corner where four states meet. I mean nothing says family fun and lifelong memories like stepping on four states simultaneously. Please do not torture your children because you have some weird obsession with Disney characters and your job at the Circle K doesn’t provide for an actual vacation.
