Father says 'Tigger' hit his son at Disney park
Employee temporarily suspended while authorities investigate incident



Updated: 12:14 p.m. ET Jan 8, 2007
ORLANDO, Fla. - 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.

Jerry Monaco of New Hampshire videotaped his son, Jerry Jr., posing
with the costumed character at Disney-MGM Studios on Friday and
recorded the confrontation, according to a statement from the Orange
County Sheriff's Office.

The father said Fedelem intentionally hit his son "on or about the
head," said sheriff's spokesman Carlos M. Padilla. "The tape only
shows a fraction of what happened. Now it's up to us to find out what
led up to that."

A message left by The Associated Press for Monaco was not immediately
returned. A telephone listing for Fedelem could not be located.

In 2004 a Walt Disney World employee dressed as Tigger was accused of
touching the breast of a 13-year-old girl while she posed with him for
a photo. A jury found the man not guilty.







I gave a link to the video. This kid did SOMETHING to provoke that. It
wa salso very amusing to see his interview this morning and how all of
the sudden his goth look is gone and he's very clean cut. My friends,
I think we havea case of a 13 year old, annoyed with taking pictures,
decides to be funny, but it turned serious. This lawsuit needs to be
dropped....they need to admit the kid did something wrong.

She said to openly start it. I don't really feel this way... But
hey...If Adam wants to vent, by all means... here ya go!

It is a very sad thing when I notice the posts that hit number one,
are either regulars trying to knock Adam's down, or are other posts
where Adam is arguing with someone so it makes it's way up. Just
wondering if anyone else caught that?

THE TEST
Three men who were lost in the forest were captured by cannibals. The
cannibal king told the prisoners that they could live if they pass a
trial. The first step of the trial was to go to the forest and get ten
pieces of the same kind of fruit. So all three men went separate ways
to gather fruits.

The first one came back and said to the king, "I brought ten apples."
The king then explained the trial to him. "You have to shove the
fruits up your butt without any expression on your face or you'll be
eaten."

The first apple went in... but on the second one he winced out in
pain, so he was killed.

The second one arrived and showed the king ten berries. When the king
explained the trial to him he thought to himself that this should be
easy. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... and on the ninth berry he burst
out in laughter and was killed.

The first guy and the second guy met in heaven. The first one asked,
"Why did you laugh, you almost got away with it?" The second one
replied, "I couldn't help it, I saw the third guy coming with
pineapples."

GRAY HAIR ORIGIN

Just a reminder........

Why Parents Have Gray Hair

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed
nicely made up and everything neat and tidy.

Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the pillow. It was
addressed, "Dad". With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope
and read the letter with trembling hands:

Dear Dad,

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to
elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with
you and Mom.

I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice. I knew
you would not approve of her because of all her piercings, tattoos,
her tight motorcycle clothes and because she is so much older than I
am but it's not only the passion, Dad, she's pregnant.

Joan says that we are going to be very happy. She owns a trailer in
the woods and has a stack of firewood, enough for the whole winter. We
share a dream of having many more children.

Joan has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt
anyone. We'll be growing it and trading it with the other people in
the commune for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.

In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so
Joan can get better; she sure deserves it!

Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of
myself. Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to
know your grandchildren.

Your son, Chad

P.S. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house. I just
wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the
report card that's in my desk drawer.

I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home!
