Jumping Ponds: Goosefair Part 1: Copyright Infringement

Re-posted from Jumping Ponds, 9/6/2009

My trip to the Goosefair was so great it takes two posts to cover it all. What is a Goosefair? Essentially it boils down to a county carnival times 50. This posts covers the insane amount of copyright infringement that goes on at this kind of event.

Dora the Explorer and, if you look closely, Sonic the Hedgehog in the midst of random animal balloons. A nice mix if you ask me.

Before you ask, yes those are Pinhead, Beetlejuice, and The Wicked Witch of the West painted next to each other. My theory is that the people who run this ride just googled "scary" and painted whatever came up on the wall.

Here's Snow White and the Dwarves. But the best part of the picture is that it says "Mind that child".

Homer done offed himself!

Okay, it's James Bond, but wtf? Look at the picture. Wtf?

This ride almost makes you forget about Travolta's little Scientology thing.

I highly doubt Will Smith gave his permission for his image to be painted on the side of a carnival ride.

That's Tigger swimming away from Donald Duck with Flounder swimming underneath. You don't remember that Disney movie?

Thanks to my good buddy Sarah for taking the photos for the evening.
