He Ho-Ho-Ho'd without a license.

Welcome Future Minions! Happy December 25th! Is anyone else disturbed by The Disney Corporation? I am. Disney kicked Little Steven (of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band) out of Disney World for "looking too wierd". Hellooooooo? Have you seen Goofy? Part dog, part man, all mutant? In which creepy underground Disney tunnel was he grown? Disney very recently kicked a visitor with a strong resemblence to a jolly old elf out of the park. He was attracting attention from children wanting to tell him what they would like for Christmas, and he played along for the kids, when he made a crucial mistake: he Ho-Ho-Ho'd without a license. Disney stormtroopers--I mean Disney security escorted him out of the park. Hours later, a proclamation was made from Cinderella's Castle: "Randum akts uf kindnez made vitout proper paperss vill nut be toleratet!" Disney works very hard to project a happy, perfect, everyone-is-welcome image, but underneath the park there is a whole labyrinth (literally) of strict rules of conduct and zero-tolerance policies. "I assure you, ze employeess herr enjoy der verk verry much." Disney has not one, but TWO male characters who have sole responsibility for multiple male juveniles and long-term girlfriends whom they have not married, for whatever reason. Did anyone see In and Out? (Good movie, by the way. Hilarious dance scene.) Donald Duck wears no pants. Ever. They can find shoes to fit Daisy Duck's feet, but they cannot pant the Donald. (Coincidentally, a problem we also have in Atlantic City.) There is a rule that only one Mickey Mouse character can be present above ground in the park at any given time. Disney says this is to preserve the magic. I say... "There can be only one..." And anyone who buys into that after the second movie really is nuts. Be aware, Minions. Be aware.
