Atrocities · #1 April 11th, 2004, 06:36 AM

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.

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.

That is true...

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.

Y'know, GT is gonna pound the snot out of us if/when he ever comes back...

Yep i know!

That is why we must appease him in some form! Does anyone have a supermodels phone number?

I for one wish for no date with "The red hot Poker cannon!"

As for this whole Tigger sex abuse thing it really doesn't suprise me. Although i imagine this will cause outrage as it's a job in close proximity to children. Lets hope the guy gets sent down for it. Although with today's justice system i imagine the defence will be "He's in a big Animal suit in the Florida heat all day, it messes with your mind!"

Well now, doesn't the Tigger costume have big clumsy soft paws.

Maybe, he could not help but to touch something he shouldn't. Maybe he couldn't feel it anyway.

Or maybe, he just had his paws all over them.

Any who has worn a costum like that knows that you cannot feel crap through the gloves so there was no way he was intentionally "rubbing" their breasts. (Objectively speaking of course, if he did then throw the book at the punk.)

Besides if he was wouldn't they have said something sooner? What most likely happened is they developed the pictures and saw that they could "Claim" that he touched them in the breasts because a photograph gave the appearence of so and figured they could CASH IN on it. "A picutre is worth a thousand words." True, but a picture is subjective and can be taken many ways. Pictures should never be considered evidence of wrong doing without supportive PROOF. The testemony of two women, obviousy seeking money, is NOT proof.

These others are just copy cats and should all be charged with filing false police reports.

No the two women who charged this guy with a crime, thus ruining his life forever, are the real criminals. They are doing it for one reason, MONEY.

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?
