Judge says Donald Duck groping lawsuit can go to court

[FLAprogressive]

PHILADELPHIA -- A Pennsylvania woman who claims Donald Duck groped her at Disney's Epcot theme park can have her day in court, a federal judge has ruled.

Disney must defend April Magolon's claims that the character grabbed her breast as she held her child at the Walt Disney World park and then joked about it.

Magolon, 27, of Upper Darby, claims the May 2008 encounter left her with post-traumatic stress in the form of nightmares, digestive problems and other permanent injuries.

"Because I am a total expert on Disneyland and crap like that. The smelly Proles of New Jersey can just eat shit and shovel snow while Donald, Goofy, and I work out the Republicon Sexual Ethics thingy."

3. This seems silly ...

If the guy is wearing one of those costumes, his hands usually can't "feel" anything. And in many instances, you can't SEE out of those costumes very well.

I was at Disney a few years back and saw one of the characters accidentally smack a kid in the head. He didn't see the kid and almost knocked the kid to the ground. Guess they could have arrested him for assault.

4. This lady better steer clear of TSA agents

If she suffers from "post-traumatic stress in the form of nightmares, digestive problems and other permanent injuries" because Donald Duck felt her up, she'd be completely incapacitated after going through airport security.

5. If it walks like a duck.....

It's a sex fiend!

6. Post-traumatic stress?

Permanent injuries? From being felt up by a muppet? Are you fucking kidding me? Even if the guy did it I'm sure it wasn't on purpose, you ever put one of those heads on? You can't see shit, it weighs a ton, it's hot and sweaty, and the last goddamn thing on your mind is copping a feel. From the link:

"According to Magolon's lawsuit, authorities in Florida received 24 related complaints in the week after a Walt Disney World employee dressed as "Tigger" was charged with molesting a 13-year-old girl and her mother in 2004. At least some were deemed credible and investigated by police, the suit said.

The man playing "Tigger" was later acquitted of criminal wrongdoing, after his lawyer donned the Tigger costume in court and argued that his client couldn't see much."

9. I have worn one of those suits,

you couldn't tell a breast from an elbow through those gloves which also have a hard foam insert so you can't clench your fist or crease the material. To say nothing of vision - you can basically see dead ahead of you and down. It is entirely possible that Donald Duck brushed up against her breast but the odds of having done it deliberately or even having noticed having done it are just about zero.

Good grief, get a grip, April.
