Tigger attacks boy on Disney visitby OLIVER STALLWOOD - Monday, January 8, 2007

Not funny: the moment Tigger lands a hook on Jerry.

This was the painful moment when one Walt Disney visitor realised there wasn't much wonderful about Tiggers. According to the famous song, the cartoon character is supposed to be 'bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy' and 'fun, fun, fun, fun, fun'. No mention of punchy.
Which perhaps explains why the Monaco family were surprised when their son, Jerry, was attacked by Tigger during a visit to Walt Disney World in Florida. The incident was captured on video by his father, Jerry Snr. It shows Tigger posing with the 14-year-old, his mother and his younger brother and sister. The boy has his left arm behind Tigger's back when the stripey creature suddenly turns and appears to punch him, before the boy hits him back.
'He hit me pretty hard. I could still feel it even though he was wearing padded gloves,' said the shocked teenager, from the US state of New Hampshire. His father said: 'At first I thought my son did something to Tigger. But then I reviewed it and it's pretty clear – for no reason he just clocked him in the face.' Walt Disney World said it had suspended worker Michael Fedelen while the incident was investigated. 'Physical altercations between cast members and guests are not tolerated,' added a spokeswoman.

dtms Commentary:

As if society is going shits up. Tigger slugs one out. The kid probably pulled his tail anyways. What do you expect when you put a convict in a costume. In a Utopian World, If I was paying 40 odd US Dollars to get into Disneyworld I'd want to hang with the Likes of Mickey Mouse the Drunkard, Tigger the Brawler, Miss Piggy the Whore, Kermit the Pedophile, Donald the Cokehead, Winnie the PotHead. Stop posing with dumb animals that take up my walkway!
