No crap, the Tigger Character at disney land has at least 20 complaints filed against him for sexual assualt stemming from when he inadvertantly touched a womens breasts.

Now 19 or more claims of assualt have been filed along with lawsuites.

Further proof that the world has gone to hell.

I read this yesterday!!

I'm confiscating my sister's Tigger toy's as we speak

Growltigger? at disney land?

Hmm doesn't fit in with the usual suspsected retirement areas. Unless it's some propaganda against the furry one?

But really, don't they perform background checks on these people? And also how come it's always people in those costumes? Barney, Tigger.....who else?

And Yep, Earth is heading to hell in a hand bucket

who knows. But of course that really only works to get weed out those with prior convictions. There are a lot of pervs out there who look like angels on paper.

You have to also think of the employers - they may release someone just short of firing them because it is so much paperwork (weak excuse, I know)and bad press to have a police investigation in an employee (who wasn't honest on their resume). It is often a "quit or I will fire you" attitude which the employee gladly takes and gets off scott-free. Following employers only see a "This person worked here from x to x." Letter with no mention of the fact that they stole their body-weight in office supplies every week and looked at illicit material Online every day. Take a look a the nurse in PA/NJ on 60 Minutes who was essentially killing patients and none of the hospitals were willing to press charges because of the bad rap they would get. They were afraid he would SUE THEM!

As a counter-point (I haven't read the article), wearing a giant costume head does make it difficult to walk around and one can make mistakes when trying to pose for pictures with family after family eight hours a day in the Florida sun.

What a crazy world.
