Disney World Collecting Fingerprints
cvd6262 writes "Disney World is now requiring all visitors to have their index and middle fingers scanned to gain entrance to the park. This started for season pass holders, but is now required for everyone." From the article: "'I think it's a step in the wrong direction,' Civil Liberties Union spokesman George Crossley said. 'I think it is a step toward collection of personal information on people regardless of what Disney says.'"
Last time I went, they wanted an arm and a leg.
I don't care if it's 90,000 hectares. That lake was not my doing.
I sort of got mixed feelings about this. On one hand, we have to give up our biometrics. On the other, at least we don't have to get rectal exams on entry to the park.
My middle finger for sure.... before they see me.
Welcome our new oversized-eared mouse overlords!
Osama wants to bomb Mickey Mouse! Someone please think of the children!
its not a freemarket when disney monopolizes my entertainment. furthermore freemarkets suck. they arent free. even further, ALL markets suck. so fuck you.
You want to force people to get down on all fours to get their anal probe.
You'd think that instead of all this finger scanning, they'd just scan the inside of your ass when they do the anal probe and get it over with in one easy step.
WTF is this Mickey Mouse bullshit?
Well I did my part: I clicked the "No, I don't like it" button on their survey. Twice!
They can take my prints off of Sleeping Beauty's voluptuous ass. Seriously, that bitch got back.

Don't like it? Don't go to Disney. Too bad for you - it's their park, their property, their rules.
Life sucks. Get a helmet.
Those without arms will have to go to other amusement parks.
>>Does one have to use one's own finger? Or can it be someone elses finger?
If there's a Wendy's nearby you can get some chili and use the finger in it when you go to Disneyworld.
Disney only admits armed patrons? I didn't know they moved to Texas....
Opportunity knocks. Karma hunts you down.
> it sets a very bad precident
I believe that misspelling precedent sets a very bad precedent. Soon enough you're misspelling you're, and they're messing up they're. It's a short skid to it's, and before long no one can spell no one.
Snidley Frux-Disney, adopted great-grand nephew of Walt Disney's mentally handicapped half-brother Edgar "See What I Do On A Steamboat" Disney said "This is a positive move, we believe it's time for Mickey and Goofy to learn the goose step".
"Liberty Is For Chumps" will feature Mickey and Goofy in a moral dilemna as they discover that Minnie votes Democrat and donates to the ACLU. "We thought this was the perfect time to retire the character of Minnie, with some real snazzy shots of the Disney Prison, Disney Riot Squad and the Disney Execution Chamber."
"In Do You Know What Your Parents Are Saying When The Door Is Locked", Goofy discovers that his mother and father are actually distressed that the Patriot Act may be giving away far too freedoms. Mickey sings a brand new Disney hit "Those Little Birds Will Shut Up If They Know What's Good For Them". Naturally, there's some rousing fun as Goofy arrests his parents for thought treason.
A third film, entitled "Your DNA Belongs To Us" is scheduled for release next year.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Then your mom would have a copy of my identity.
here, let me hold it up for you.
sigs are for losers (except to point out that sigs are for losers)
Don't let them sample and gene scan you! They're just selecting their next victims for Disney Abductions! Have you or anyone you love:
Disappeared for off-the-map hours at a Disney site.
Been completely unable to remember where the time went.
Had a wonderful time, no need to do hypnotic regression recall, keep back you mothers of sons! If so, you might be Cory Doctorow. Please contact your Magic Kingom Hall.
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
He will be declined, ejected from the resort area, and heavily sued. I think we're all familiar with Disney's views on piracy.
-- I prefer the term "karma escort."
