. . . to be filled out. Contestants cannot simply stumble upon the starting line, and immediately be on equal footing with the registered participants, most if not all of whom have trained diligently during the several-year run-up to their Big Event. However, the Ditsy Gang always has been out of touch with Real Life, so they foist exactly this sort of "bandit" scenario on behalf of their Goof Doggy, pitting his brazen cheating against any American value favoring an even playing field, sportsmanship and the basic rules of the road. AQUA-MANIA obviously inspired the Rosie Ruiz debacle, involving a Real Life hoax-stir who thought she could ride the C Train to Boston Marathon immortality. Besides spending most of an oceanic water skiing competition dilly dallying on a landlocked roller-coaster, the Goof oaf gains an unfair advantage by exploiting an endangered octopus. Is it any wonder, then, that after this film was released, America became incapable of running a fair and balanced presidential election?
