Three Snow Whites Offend in Paris

I swear this story is true. If my friend John J. sends the picture I will find a way to post it on this blog...

I was at Disney in Paris the past week for a company kickoff. As part of the kick off we had a night where people dressed in costume (referred to as "fancy dress" on our invite, not to be confused with "costume", which is black tie - no wonder why we went to war with UK - we probably just had a semantic mis-understanding with them). One of my new company friends, a kid named Duncan, dressed up as snow white, along with two of his mates. They formed the Snow White trio and they ended up winning an award for their costumes.

The co-winner was a team of two guys dressed as babies. I found the costumes extremely disturbing. Maybe it was the adult sized pacifiers, or seeing two guys who were over 6 feet tall dressed in pink pajamas and bonnets. But apparently it was fine for these guys to later frequent the bar in their getups. Not so the Snow White trio.

Apparently, as they were leaving their hotel to go to the costume dinner, they caused some children to be traumatized. Someone complained. Management at Disney decided that the trio was "besmirching the image of Snow White". They were forced to go back to their hotel and change before going anywhere else in the Disney park. Disney management later said they had an existing policy about not allowing people to dress up as Snow White for any reason. Which seems weird since the boys bought their costumes at the park...
