People Will Cheat at Just About Anything

Conspiring to cheat at the 2015 Disney Dopey Challenge?

The longer I live, the less I seem to understand.  Why would someone travel thousands of miles from a summer climate to a winter climate just to cheat at a race that few even bother to keep track of?

It seems a certain individual has been identified as cheating at The Disney Dopey Challenge earlier this month by the miscreants and lurkers on LetsRun.  I had noted in an earlier post that Disney has been saturated the last 2 years by people from Brazil.  The old cliche was Japanese tourists taking over the parks, but the world economy seems to have shifted in dramatic fashion to the Southern Hemisphere, or something.   But our fun-loving Portuguese-speaking friends from down-under seem to have been infiltrated by a low-life willing to cheat at a Family-friendly, Hobby-Jogger(copyrighted) event.  I just don't understand.

The participants in the event I know are not offended at all and could care less whether any punishment is rendered or not.  And that's even including the fact that the creep misjudged his cheat at the half-marathon and ended up finishing fifth in the awards category for his age group.  This greatly enhanced his chances of getting caught.

Turns out it was extremely easy to cheat by simply skipping a portion of the race where the paths converge.  The fact that you miss a timing mat or official photos at key landmarks seems to be ignored because of the sheer number of runners (35,000 or so total). So much for Disney substituting for the NSA any time soon. I would send them to a gulag or something, but that's apparently just me.
