Disney Parks Stop Scans for Topless Riders

This isn't a funny news, but it still made me chuckle.

Disney has decided to no longer scan the pictures that are taken on a number of rides.

Disney confirmed Tuesday that it has reassigned employees at Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure who watched for breast-baring riders because "actual inappropriate behaviors by guests are rare."

Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown says the changes took effect Sunday at Splash Mountain, Tower of Terror, Space Mountain and California Screamin'.

Riders are photographed on the attractions and can then buy souvenir copies. Some have exposed their breasts in hopes that the picture would make it onto a photo preview screen at the ride's exit.


Hysterical!!

First of all, even if it did happen, one can hardly fault Disney for the stupid behavior of some guests (but I'm sure there will be people who would claim to be offended by it and blame Disney). Secondly, don't they also scan people either for smooching or doing some other inappropriate behavior? I've heard unconfirmed reports that if a couple were lip-locked in one of these pictures (and notice that I am not making any assumption about the gender of this couple), then such pictures would not be displayed either. I wonder if that is still in place, or if these re-assigned cast members were also the ones checking for such a thing?

Still, I would think that if anyone wanted to expose her breast in one of these pictures, she would probably prefer doing it on the Tower of Terror. After all, there is a nature "up-lifting" effect. You won't need a support bra! :)

I will have to pay attention to those pictures after I get off Splash Mountain from now on! :)
