Going to the Midtown/Times Square is a harrowing enough experience as it is without having to worry about one of the Disney franchise characters lashing out at you for no apparent reason. But tragically, the recent stabbing of a man outside of a deli in Midtown by someone dressed as Winnie the Pooh proves that no one is safe from bodily harm by seemingly innocent and lovable characters.
How are corporate shills and tourists supposed to go about their daily business peacefully with these types of fracases going on among the franchise character community? According to Batman, the dispute between the Winnie the Pooh and the homeless man was a result of a disagreement over who was supposed to buy beer next. So goes the cutthroat nature of life dressed in costume while parading through Times Square.
