Mickey en tribunales

Quien diga que la justicia es ciega, después de leer esta historia estará de acuerdo conmigo que además por momento es idiota ingenua. Resulta que leyendo el periódico me encuentro que un tribunal en Nápoles, un Juez envía una citación a nada menos que Piolín, Mickey Mouse, el pato Donald y su novia Daisy a testificar en un caso.

Parece ser que estas “personas” son las partes afectadas de un juicio en la que un Chino (quien más) es acusado de falsificar productos propiedad de Warner y Disney.

Les copy-peistéo la noticia completa:

“An Italian court ordered the animated bird, along with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and his girlfriend Daisy, to testify in a counterfeiting case.

In what lawyers believe was a clerical error worthy of a Looney Tunes cartoon, a court in Naples sent a summons to the characters ordering them to appear Friday in a trial in the southern Italian city, officials said.

The court summons cites Titti, Paperino, Paperina, Topolino -- the Italian names for the characters -- as damaged parties in the criminal trial of a Chinese man accused of counterfeiting products of Disney and Warner Bros.

Instead of naming only the companies and their legal representatives, clerks also wrote in the witness list the names of the cartoons that decorated the toys and gadgets the man had reproduced, said Fiorenza Sorotto, vice president of Disney Company Italia.

"Unfortunately they cannot show up, as they are residents of Disneyland," Sorotto joked in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "It certainly pleased us that the characters were considered real, because that's what we try to do."

The Naples court will have to rewrite the summons, although this will probably delay the trial, said Disney lawyer Cristina Ravelli.

"Let's hope the characters will not be prosecuted for failing to appear," Ravelli quipped.

Calls seeking comment from Warner Bros. in Milan were not immediately returned. Phones at the Naples”

Sería interesante estar ahí, no por conocer a a Mickey y a Donald que ya fui a a Disneylandia, sino por ver en que tipo de coches llegan, o quienes los acompañan. En una de esas llego a ver de cerca de Jessica Rabbit que dicen que sale con Mickey desde que se divorcio de la otra ratona, ehhhh, mmm, no me acuerdo de su nombre…
