First thing I thought was “Urban Legend”. (Someone having fun with photoshop) Anyway, I checked Snopes and nothing. Still, that doesn’t mean it is “legit”. ---

I think the one in the OP was part of a ‘personal collection’. The factory seems to have these from China so they are probably knock-off, non-Disney approved stuff. I just can’t buy that Disney would approve this usage of Donald but I can see some Chinese maker being oblivious to the sexuality of the ride. ---

Yeah but how culturally common is oral sex in China? Honest question; I’m under the impression it’s not nearly as pervasive there as it is in the US. ---

> [@TellMeI'mNotCrazy](#): > > I’m under the impression it’s not nearly as pervasive there as it is in the US. I have it on good authority that it’s, um, pretty widespread. (Funny thing too, the duck ride looks more like straight-up rumpy-pumpy to me, since the seat is right between Donald’s legs. That’s why I picked that “woman on top” illustration. Now that you mention it, it does look like he’s praying at the altar, too. Who knew aquatic birds’ anatomy lent itself to such impressive dexterity?) ---

Betcha Michael Jackson owns a ride like this. What’ll be disturbing is if it’s his image instead of a duck’s. ---

I mean, if your 6 year old wanted to ride it, are you going to explain to her why she should ride the train instead? ---
