Un-frickin'-believable.
The best fix, of course, is to let it be known that it's all cleaned up and put down the toilet by the end of the night.
Another idea would be to let people fill out a form and have the ... stuff shot up in a firework. They could charge big $$ for that.
I think Disney has chosen the best possible way of dealing with this. No doubt they have carefully considered alternatives and chosen the best and least harmful one they could think of. Whatever the reason for it, the boundary they set for park personnel to not forcefully detain these people is very commendable. Maybe that policy came from legal considerations, or from concerns about their public image. However, I think it is worth noting that a well considered profit motive yields a course of action consistent with non-violence and compassion. Though these people have unintentionally caused harm and a clean up burden to the park, the park does not cause reciprocal harm to these people of low awareness who are suffering from grief and motivated by love for their departed ones.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think that if Disney were to advertise the issue to create public awareness of it, they would lose business by creating a subconscious turn off in many people's minds. Advertising deals with subconscious associations, and Disney does not want to create any association in people's minds about cremated remains and their park. Intelligent people can understand the problem, but even if a small percentage of Disney's market got turned off, and even if only subconsciously, the loss in profits could far exceed the savings in clean up costs. -vly
