While reading this report, per CNN/AP, visualize the face of Ms. Zoraya Suarez, who plays a leading role in this tragedy:
"A Walt Disney World employee dressed as the character Tigger was accused of hitting a child while posing for a photo, a spokeswoman for the theme park said Saturday.
"Park officials temporarily suspended Michael J. Fedelem while they investigate the accusations, Disney spokeswoman Zoraya Suarez said.
"'Naturally, physical altercations between cast members and guests are not tolerated,' Suarez said."
I should say not.
As a lawyer, I can tell you that in my depositions of managers at major corporations, corporate folks go through so many seminars and retreats that they somehow forgot to speak the English language. It just turns into mush. Such as: "Our company, through a team-oriented philosophy, has an ethic of delivering high value and fair dealing in everything that we do." That tells me absolutely nothing.

Come on, the child and his family can be directed to this clear disclaimer:
The most wonderful thing about Tiggers,
is Tiggers are wonderful things.
Their tops are made out of rubber,
their bottoms are made out of springs.
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is,
I'm the only one.
Oh, III'm the only one!
Oh, the wonderful thing about Tiggers is,
Tiggers are wonderful chaps.
They're loaded with vim and vigor.
They love to leap in your lap.
They're jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, thumpy,
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is ...
III'm the only one!
In addition, Tigger would seem to retain the exclusive right for bouncing, trouncing, flouncing, pouncing, jumping, bumping, clumping, and thumping.
If Cinderella had smacked this kid around, I could see a lawsuit. But Tigger is clearly within his legal rights.
But this is a contract of adhesion. Does said kid have any ability to modify or negotiate the contract before doing business with Mr. Tigger? And did said kid receive any kind of consideration that would constitute accord and satisfaction, which would then permit Mr. Tigger to smack said kid in the head?
Subject to and notwithstanding these points: outfuckingstanding, Jacob. For further reading, I would refer you to a transcript of the oral argument in Coyote v. ACME Co. (http://beebo.org/smackerels/coyote-v-acme.html).
