I Thought Pooh Was the One Interested In Honey?

The underlying facts of this story from CNN.com really aren't funny: a 13-year old girl is allegedly molested at a major amusement park. The giggle factor comes from the identity of the attacker: Tigger. More particularly, a guy in the Tigger suit who copped a feel while the girl was posing for a picture with the bounding feline. His defense? The defendant "didn't know where he was placing his hands because of the bulkiness of the costume's paws." As part of the trial process, not only will the jury see the Tigger suit, they will actually get to handle the suit - and, hey, why not just try it on? The whole thing seems just a bit surreal.
