Mickey Mouse is now a Georgian Riot Cop.

boingboing.net — From BoingBoing.net: "The Rose Revolution in the former Soviet state of Georgia is collapsing under phalances [sic] of riot-cops. This is distressing, but also fascinating -- who knew that the Georgian riot cop standard issue included a freaky white Mickey Mouse mask?"

    • ufia, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2I found it so cute. I would risk being tear-gassed just to get a chance to hug him.
    • Dokument, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1Ive always wanted to be tazed by Mickey
    • notque, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1Part of the point of them is they don't seem human. Humans have feelings, and reason. Military in large gas masks that just converge and shoot do not.
  • Member148, on 11/09/2007, -10/+2I can see it now; The cops would say; "free trip to Disney World if you stop this rioting." LOL
    • bightchee, on 11/09/2007, -3/+2Euro-Disney!
    • 5urr3al5am, on 11/09/2007, -1/+7or "If you don't stop rioting we'll be forced to send you to Euro-Disney"

    • pkonink, on 11/11/2007, -1/+3OMG that was my first thought too, lol.

      What I want to know is how a theoretical physicist without any sort of military training has been able to elude and defeat the finest our species has to offer time and time again? It is getting harder and harder for me to convince our benefactors of your competence.
    • hoopadoo, on 11/09/2007, -1/+1LOL! You are so right!
    • hobbers, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1My first thought as well.

  • bightchee, on 11/09/2007, -2/+3This was in response to the rioter's use of Acme products.

    • cawfee, on 11/09/2007, -1/+0More like the Brotherhood of Plastic.
    • pkonink, on 11/09/2007, -0/+3LOL. Between the HL2 and Fallout references it is pretty clear there are some gamers at the company that makes that equipment.
  • flytronix, on 11/09/2007, -0/+4blame capitalism
  • rnreekez, on 11/09/2007, -1/+3“Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end.”

    Walt Disney is probably rolling in his ice tray somewhere.

  • eyesofthewolf, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2We dont go to Georgia.....
  • vidaliasweet, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2Sure it makes a great gas mask, but tell me, can it handle a pie in the face?
  • cafman, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1I'm going to wear that mask around my newborn son. That way he will develop a deep seated fear of Mickey. I refuse to let him become a Disney Zombie that feels he needs every item Disney produces.
  • solid12345, on 11/09/2007, -0/+0Still better than the Guy Fawkes mask.
  • Insomnya3AM, on 11/11/2007, -0/+3Maybe one of them is Barney.
