2 Guys, 25 Dumb Laws, 1 Absurd American Crime Spree

Cidu Bill on Aug 16th 2011

Probably the strangest interview I ever conducted began when I read You Can Get Arrested For That, Cornish journalism student Rich Smith’s account of a trip he took across the United States for the sole purpose of breaking every possible strange American law (such as dancing to the Star Spangled Banner in San Francisco). I found the adventures of Smith (and his companion and sidekick Bateman) thoroughly entertaining, and I decided to have a chat with him…

Duck

Cidu Bill on Jan 18th 2011

A Pennsylvania woman is suing Disney, claiming that on her last visit to Disney World, an employee in a Donald Duck costume groped her breasts, leaving her with post traumatic stress disorder resulting in difficulties eating and sleeping.

Now, I’m in no way excusing what this guy did. I’m perfectly okay with him seeing the inside of a jail cell. There’s a really simple rule of thumb here: you don’t grab a woman’s breasts without her permission. Ain’t really complicated.

That being said though… post traumatic stress disorder? Seriously? If you’re suffering from post traumatic stress disorder because a guy in a Donald Duck costume groped your breasts — to the extent that a guy in a Donald Duck costume can grope anybody’s breasts — then I’m sorry, but I have to think you had some issues before ever setting foot in the Magic Kingdom.

Ho White and the Seven Dwarves

Cidu Bill on Oct 18th 2009

“Disney, which owns the copyright for Snow White and the Seven Dwarves…” I think not, Fox News (their story).

Pearls Before Spine

Is PBS in reruns this week? Because the hedgehog-throwing incident took place in February of 2008, and I can’t believe it took Pastis more than a year to come up with this gag.
