Tigger’s Dangerous Side

Anyone going to Disney World in the new year?

Here’s a heartwarming story: Father says ‘Tigger’ hit his son at Disney Park.

And don’t think this is the first time such allegations have come up either. Snopes is on it, but to save you a click through, one of the other claims came up a few years ago when another “Tigger” was accused (and then acquitted) of inappropriately touching a 13-year-old girl.

People. Come on!

Tigers *are* wild animals and attempting to snuggle with them can get you scratched, clawed, mauled, bitch-slapped, or molested.

And another thing, parents, do *not* leave your video camera at home if you’re taking a trip to a land of life-sized plush characters.

Three words: Potential future lawsuits.

Happy theme-parking!
