Tinkerbell in chains

Tink

OK, they're not actually chains. It looks like they're those plastic flex-cuffs. Tink and her pals were protesting new work contracts at Disneyland in California, saying the proposal would make it impossible for bell hops, maids and other staff to get health care. Several protesters were arrested for failing to obey police, the Daily Mail reports.

Hat Tip: Many thanks, Keith G in PV and JUNGLE JIM!

What's this world coming to?
What's next? Bert and Ernie being caught in a gay prostitution sting operation?

First Pooh Bear and now this. I'm so disillusioned...

That hippo dressed as snow white would have made a nuch better piglet. And why is the mouth gaping wide open, hoping someone will chuck in a couple twinkies.

Taking a visit to the other "Magic Kingdom".

Another case of corporate greed. The biggest, richest companies seem to always be the ones treating their employees like crap. Except the CEOs, of course.

What were they arrested FOR? I thought we had a constitutional right to assembly and free speech. Unless they were throwing things, or hurting people, I think they were entitled to protest.

Gee, glad they didn't arrest THIS Mickey Mouse! (no that's no me!)

Johnkel,

Bert and Ernie have been smart enough to keep it hidden all these years, I doubt anyone will catch them playing catch any time soon.

Ottawa Mother,

Welcome to Amerika circa 2008; the Authoritarian Era.

So I understand that they used the costumes to help drive home a point or at least to assure some media attention for their efforts...the only thing that bothers me is that they purchased those costumes right? So Disney has the rights to everything they have ever done and therefore the protesters ended up giving Disney their money to protest against the money Disney is taking away from them. I am confused on how that was a good and well thought out plan.

I hope none of those cops have elementary school aged kids, now that would make for some awkward dinner banter...

Marvin,
It's only a matter of time for B and the Big E. Times are tough all over, and they still have their bills and hight rent to pay on Sesame Street. They'll probably put out out a craigslist ad and get nabbed by Sesame Vice. Then we'll lament the loss of innocence for us all.

The top execs at Disney get free cars to use as a perk and these people get arrested for demanding a living wage. The Happiest Place on Earth, indeed.

They are free to find another job if they don't like that one. They don't have a right to be on private property if asked to leave.

Seems like these people should have used some common sense instead of acting like a bunch of spoiled little brats throwing a trantrum because they think they deserve something they don't.

JOHN: They're hotel staff members, like maids and bell hops, so they're not required to keep a perfect body image!

Good artilce!!! You and I have common interests! You are my part of the story!

So beautiful posts,all I like,hope to be better then,and enjoy yourself,good luck in your life.

Maybe it was sibling rivalry which led Rudolf to form Puma and Adolf to form Adidas.

I am not saying that to be more businesslike is a bad thing. I was fortunate to start my career in business before joining the dark-side of technology. When I was in high school I worked as a waiter and for extra money sold shoes. I was surprised these turned out to be the perfect jobs to prepare me for presenting to executives. My experience in manufacturing helped me build better global-networks and owning my own business taught me skills suited to running an IT department.

Thanks for sharing!

Is anyone on this site on myspace as well as would like to add me individually? What are your tweets titles, this is a outstanding write-up in addition. Is currently there a good RSS feed I could not find it?

I know this is really boring and you are skipping to the next comment, but I just wanted to throw you a big thanks - you cleared up some things for me!

Most of the time I don’t post comments on blogs, but I'd like to say that this article really forced me to do so. Thanks!

Took me time to read all the comments,It proved to be very useful to me and I am sure to all the commenters here!
