For those people who like Tigger -- of 'Winnie The Pooh' fame -- this is the club for you.Originally headquartered at 156-B West 79th street in Manhattan, NYC, The Tiggerific Society of America is the brainchild of Marvin Staples, part-time Target employee and self-proclaimed lover of all things to do with Tigger. As of the fall of 2002, The Society is composed of approx. 185,255 people all over the world, from all walks of life and socioeconomic background. From May 1970 to March 2000, Marvin Staples quietly published a newsletter that detailed trivia, pointed interested Tigger fanciers to products featuring the character and in general served as a focal point for Tigger fans. In March 2000, rising postal costs forced Staples to make his newletter into a website, and thereby hangs a strange tale.Heated debate began in the new message boards between fans of the original books and the Disney version of Pooh. Staples tried to head off such flame wars when he could, but publicity over this caused website to come to the attention of the Disney corporate lawyers, who hit Staples with a cease-and-desist order, stating that by collecting a minor fee to help pay for bandwidth that he was infringing on the rights of the Disney corporation, etc etc. Staples posted the order on the The Tiggerific Society of America website, announcing that he did not have the money to fight the impending lawsuit, and that he was shutting down the club. Letter of support began to pour into the Disney corporate offices, but were rebuffed. Within hours, the first Disney board member was dead. Police picked up Elaine Hart of Witchita KA as she fled from the Disney grounds, still carrying the deer rifle she'd used to murder the man. She told them and, later, CNN that she 'did it for Tigger'. Three days later, electrical contractor Robert Merriweather used his truck to run down a Disney attorney as he crossed an intersection in downtown Orlando. Since then, five more people involved with the decision to ban Staples club have died, all by the hands of perfectly ordinary people.Staples has repeatedly denied any involvement with the killings. Remember that the root word for 'Fan' is 'Fanatic'....Next: Sylvan.Com</blockquote>
