Snapshot -- Reason No. 46 Why Corporatespeak Sucks

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.
