Exposure to Uncomfortable Truths About Your Host, Part Two (UPDATED)
Posted by Bill I've faked a mental handicap in order to cut the line on Space Mountain. UPDATE: The line was like an hour long. My props were some jauntily placed Mickey ears, a sloppy fudge ice cream cone and a thousand-yard stare. Posted by Bill at April 22, 2005 03:35 PM | TrackBack (2) CommentsCompletely inappropriate. I expected better from you. Posted by: Glenn Reynolds No, that wasn't me, either. See? Heh. You got Insta-bitchslapped. Posted by: Jeff G yes, both were you, Jeff. Don't play retarded. Posted by: Bill from INDC Oh, don't give him a hard time, Bill. Space Mountain's just crowded this time of day. Posted by: willow Bill, it's because of exploitative scum like you that Disney ended that practice. Now the disabled have to wait in line with the rest of us and are treated...well...like normal people. You animal. Seriously though, Disney allowing anyone with a two-bit "disability" to cut in front of 800 people was an unbelievably stupid and condescending practice. Handicapped parking spots breed enough resentment, but at least they have the justification of being necessary. My nephew has Down Syndrome and if anything he'd have an easier time waiting in line for 2 hours than your average 8 year old. As someone who has worked with "people with diasbilities" in the past, I've found it quite disturbing how many of them —and in particular, their parents— are eager to rake in all the special treatment and perks that come with their condition. while at the same time live on a hairline trigger set to explode should anyone insinuate or act like they are the slightest bit "different" than anyone else. Posted by: Jason Man, just utilize the fact that if you're a single rider, they let you cut way the hell up to the front of the line so you can sit in the fourth seat for all of those three-people groups. |
