Stupid Supermarket Ride Design Trick...

As if the positioning isn't bad enough... check out his eyeline.

I does anyone know if this is a Disney Sold supermarket ride, or some really badly designed knockoff product? Either way its funny and sad at the same time.

No facts, just educated guesses. Judging from the girl's hairstyle, I'd bet this was from Russia or one of the Baltic countries. If so, I wouldn't be surprised if it were not an officially licensed product.

Notice that the ride is inside a house, not in front of a supermarket.

By "Supermarket Ride" I meant one of those things you drop a quarter in at the supermarket... whether or not it's acualy at the supermarket. It looks like one of those things to me... could be wrong.

Regardless it's a really bad design error.

I was just pointing out that it was in someone's home. It certainly does look like a supermarket ride. I doubt that Disney would come up with something that lame, the design wasn't thought out. It could even be a doctored photo.

...or Tennessee.

I don't remember if it's on here or over on kbfdrama.com, but there was a picture of that same coin-operated ride taken a bit farther back and a bit lower, with the caption, "Who the hell designed this ride?" It made it look even more like Donald was looking up a little girl's skirt.
