"Because Assault Is What Tiggers Do Bestest!"

Ace and the Colossus are both musing on the incident down at Disney in which the guy in the Tigger costume allegedly took a swing at some deadbeat-looking kid while the kid's dad was videotaping the whole thing.

I confess that I'm conflicted about this whole story.

On the one hand, although I haven't seen the film itself, from the stills available, it looks more like a slap than a punch. And the kid looks like a punk. Well, I always sided with Patton for slapping that sniveling little private in Sicily, so don't expect any sympathy from me here. Suck it up, you little sum'bitch.

On the other hand, this is Disney. And Disney is evil, res ipsa loquitur. When I was dragooned there, the characters kept coming up and putting their arms around me, much to my extreme annoyance. Perhaps I should have sued for sexual harassment?

On the third hand, what kind of a moron takes a swing in earnest at Junior when he knows Dad has the camcorder on him? (I suppose the answer to that one is somebody dumb enough that the only work they can get is dressing up in a giant tigger suit, so never mind.....)

On the fourth hand, what poor wage-slave working for Der Maus hasn't dreamed fervently of unloading on one of the gajillion obnoxious tourons swarming through the place?

As I say, I'm terribly conflicted about this. I'm sure, however, that it's all Speaker Pelosi's fault somehow.

UPDATE: Of course YouTube would have the clip already. Roll it:

You call this hitting? What kind of nancy-boys are these people?

I'm keeping the post title, tho', cos I like it.
