Disney Sued By God-Fearing Young Sikh

Digg this!   

Normally, Disney World is a magical place where pixies float through the air on fluffy pink tufts of cotton candy, fairies bless each child with things like good fortune and longevity, and hat-wearing man-dogs do stuff too.

Sometimes though, the place is just a target for lawsuits that state it has religious undertones that persecute Muslims because of their head dress & facial scruff – and that’s just the women!

Disney of course denies all this – but it hasn’t stopped one young man from suing them on this very premise. He tried to get a job with them – and was denied because of his turban and facial hair.

Apparently, he didn’t apply for anything in the Aladdin department.

Sukhbir Channa is a man with a name that looks absolutely crazy when fully written out. He’s also a man who got denied employment at Disney World – and he is not pleased about it. To show his displeasure he’s forged a lawsuit in the fiery depths of Jahannum using nothing but molten ore, incredible heat, a pen, some paper and a lawyer.

TMZ reports:

“In his suit, Sukhbir Channa says when he applied for a job at Disney World in 2006, he was told his turban, beard, and long hair didn’t conform to the “Disney look”. Here’s the goofy part: just a few months before, in 2005, he says he marched as a toy soldier in a Disney parade with no problems– but then his turban was hidden by a big toy soldier hat.”

The suit is seeking $1,000,000 in damages to compensate for the several hours a week of minimum wage he probably would have made twirling a baton that had a set of mouse ears on each end. That would be enough to buy him a hot dog on park premises.

Disney was called to give the other side of the story, but he’s been dead for at least 50 years or something, and his previous phone number now belongs to a Taco Bell. We also tried calling the actual Disney corporation, but nobody here could figure out how to dial an area code.

Eventually our mother was called for a comment as her number is first on our contact list and therefore not difficult to dial. She said:

“Did you hear? Nanna fell again.”

Investigation is currently underway to determine if Disney somehow made our Nanna fall, because she too has a beard.
