I'm confused at Bear's choice or words or ClickOrlando's selection for a soundbite. Bear is the prosecutor, he obviously has to advocate that it DOES matter that she was grabbed otherwise where is the case? He clearly says "It's not just a mouse. It's a person" after the first part but the beginning is very misleading. Perhaps it was grabbed from his closing where he paraphrased something the defense said.

I worked at Disney, though not as a character. I just worked a cash register. I got people trying to touch (though thankfully not grope) me all the time, and they would also ask me if I was a real person. They really don't know.
Yes, I would tell them, it is more cost-effective for Disney to create an automaton that can count back your change than to hire a college student at just over $5 an hour.

@iKniter: Well, on the good side, that was above minimum wage at the time. I actually really enjoyed the job--my coworkers were awesome--and probably would have stayed on and moved up there if I hadn't had a college degree to finish back in my then-home-state.

I have a friend who was Donald Duck. I think she lucked out b/c she was playing a male character she wasn't subjected to the same kind of treatment. Makes me wonder what happens if a guy is in a female character costume. In fact, maybe that should be this guy's punishment.

"She's not a mouse, she's a person" would be an excellent slogan.

In my theme park days, I've seen an awful lot of costume-humping by dumb teenagers to get laughs out of their friends. For some reason, this seems worse though, but I can't quite put my finger on why. Is it because of the age of the man? The act of groping is more violating than fake-humping?
I'm leaning toward the latter, I think. Any thoughts?

@mbprice: Fake humping by teenagers is more of a stupid joke I think. It's obviously for a laugh and the groping is obviously more sexual in nature.

"It doesn't matter she was grabbed. She's just a mouse," said prosecutor David Bear.
In other news, 32 year old VirginiaDentata was found guilty of Felony Bonerkilling and Feminazi Assault on a prosecutor. "It doesn't matter he was made into a lovely rug for my hunting lodge, " she spoke from prison. "After all, he was just a Bear."

@VirginiaDentata:
it's an awkward quote, but I think he was paraphrasing and arguing against the defense. He goes on to say "It's not just a mouse. It's a person".

Has anyone here been groped by Goofy? From my Disneyworld discussions with friends, I think it's a phenomenon.
These costumes give people this illusion of anonymity. Costumed employees grope guests because, aw, that cuddly animal is so cute and harmless. Guests grope Minne because it's not like she's REAL. How do we forget so easily there is a person under all that felt?

@cait98: Not Goofy, but Eeyore gave me a wee bit too snug cuddle on Grad Night, many years ago. I've got a picture of this and my expression is more than a little bewildered.

@Wandering Wench: If it makes you feel any better, Goofy and Eeyore were probably gay men. The characters are all played by people of the same height range, and goofy and eeyore are very tall, and usually male, which usually means gay at Disney. I was a character at Disney World for about nine months while I was in college until I lost my natural mind and had to be transfered out. It is 30 degrees hotter in the costume, and random people do grope and molest you, and crush your hand to shake it. I played chip, dale, Roger Rabbit, the white Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, and one of the dwarves (can't remember which one), and a male troll in Norway at Epcot. I can't tell you how many strange men would shake my hand and yell, that's a girl in there! And then proceed to hug me a little too closely. I would just warn off the other characters in the breakroom, and nothing serious usually happened.This has gone on forever, but the Minnie costume is really only a black bodysuit and tights, with a dress, gloves, shoes, and a head. You can definitely tell if someone is touching you innappropriately, not like the other fur costumes, where there is so much padding between you and the outside world that everything is a bit muffled.

@mishmisha: I think Grad Night turned Disneyland into Las Vegas. After you got frisked at the entrance (my first pat down!) then you got to enjoy the Filthiest Place On Earth, seriously, they gave the cleaning crew the night off. I might just be bitter that they made me wear a dress to get in.

@BrutallyHonestBabes (aka Mrs....: See, this is why I'm glad there is no Lord of the Rings theme park because I would always be mistaken for an actual hobbit, even without a costume, and the groping of hairy feet and hobbit holes would commence.

"It doesn't matter she was grabbed", huh. How would he like it if his daughter or granddaughter were in that costume and were grabbed. I bet he'd sing a different tune then. Or when said Minnie Mouse kicks him in the balls.
