This is a local story, it was just on my morning news, too damn funny not to post.
Grope Claim Against Donald DuckWoman charges beloved Disney character got handsy

AUGUST 10--While visiting Epcot Center in Florida, a Pennsylvania woman alleges that a Disney employee dressed as Donald Duck grabbed her breast and molested her after she sought an autograph.After the alleged groping, Donald Duck made gestures--apparently with his snowy white hands—“indicating he had done something wrong,” according to a lawsuit filed last month by April Magolon. The Upper Darby woman, 27, was visiting Epcot with her children and fiancé in May 2008 when the incident reportedly occurred.Magolon, pictured below, is suing Disney for negligence, battery, and infliction of emotional distress, and is seeking in excess of $50,000 in damages. The entertainment giant has petitioned to have the lawsuit, which was filed in Pennsylvania’s Court of Common Pleas, transferred to federal court in Philadelphia. According to Magolon’s complaint, she has suffered “severe physical injury, emotional anguish and distress including, but not limited to post-traumatic stress disorder” as a result of the run-in with Donald Duck. She also contends that the incident was “one of a long line of continuing, long standing, similar prior incidents” involving the groping of patrons by costumed Disney employees. (4 pages)

This case wan't the first, but it's more suspicious than others The last case with an incident like this (with a tigger) was dismissed, but it seems more likely that this one DID do it on purpose (with the tigger case, the defendant's lawyer put on the costume and demonstrated that there was NO way for the wearer to see what he was doing) but with this one, at least according to the actual report on the morning news, it has a BIG hole where the guy could see what he was doing.It's just funny to me to even hear about this kinda thing, especially with the squeaky-clean rep the disney company tries to keep.I still feel a little sory for the employee if it WAS an accident, but it seems that it could go either way.

She's 27, why on earth is she getting an autograph from a guy pretending to be Donald Duck! Idiot. There's no way she should be able to win this case... but it is in America after all and we all know common sense does not apply there.

Can he even feel anything under that costume? Defies logic.

If Donald Duck does that, I wonder what Mickey Mouse would do to that girl? I hope the costume wouldn't have a tail.

Some people are weaker than others, also if you are comparing a woman to guys=bad idea.

People liked costumed critters, though a photograph would of been enough.

Something like this happened with Mickey Mouse and a 30 year old woman.... idk but I heard it on the news a while back. And how can you feel breasts with that big of a costume. The Women is a typical American that sues people for no reason. For example,some women Dropped hot coffee on herself in McDonald and she said, "Oh lets sue this restaurant for not labeling the coffee hot."
I fucking hate women like that. A personal example that happened to me is.... I accidentally hit a women's car bumper when I was driving. Her car remained untouched and yet what happens, she decides to get all bitchy and call police and take me to court. Fucking people these days over react way to much!

You think that girl was over reacting? Wait untill that sun owning lady comes over asking for a fee for using the sun. I'll show a picture of the ruined plants I tried to grow, every sunburn, and the paint the sun ruined on my car.Anyways, kinda weird how she asked for a autograph from Donald Duck, just saying.

Totally irrelevant, considering that, that would not really hold up in court at all. This on the other hand could if it isn't proven to be an accident.I also love how you guys are assuming that it's accidental when we really don't know if it was done on purpose or not. Not saying it is, or isn't, but we don't know.

I lol'd, I love how the guy stays in character.

No Goofey? I think he has molested Sheldon...
But I think the man inside Donald Duck done it accidentally. Well, I was bumped by a Jollibee Costume guy using his tail I haven't sued Jollibee for it, why? Because its hard to see and you dont have a lot of free movement.But, if it was done on purpose by Donald Duck, its not new, he's a sailor in the first place.
Also, Daisy is a nagging bitch, I believe Donald was just fed up and choosed a new mate.
