I worked at Disneyland for eight years, three of them in entertainment around the costumed characters and parade performers. Those costume heads weigh around 20 lbs or more and are full of blind spots. Characters are constantly on medical leave because of back and neck problems. When kids mess with them, they are virtually helpless, and since they cannot speak in costume, the only way they can tell you to fuck off is to kick you. I once was walking to a break room and saw a kid, maybe 13, cock his arm back and knock Dale out in the middle of the walkway. Another employee and I grabbed this kid and dragged him backstage, along with Dale. When she (that's right, SHE) took the head off backstage, the head was dented and she was bleeding. That kid got arrested, as he deserved to be.
Don't fuck with costumed characters. It's not funny, it's not cute, and it's not cool. They don't get paid much and already have to work under very difficult conditions. That kid in the video deserved to get his ass beat. I am all for a throw-down, 100-acre wood style.
