Disney books? No thanks. - Page 2

Go to their house in the middle of the night and burn a swastika wearing Mickey ears into their front lawn. Then mail them a letter saying "if you're going to be a paranoid pansy I'll give you something to be a paranoid pansy about."

This will provide a valuable life lesson to your daughter. Namely, how do deal with it when you're on the evening news for committing hate crimes.

How about sending a copy of "Heather Has Two Mommies"

That should raise a brow or two.....

Disney books are junk. Any excuse for not reading them is a good one.

As to your daughter's friend, it's no accident that Mickey Mouse came out shortly after "Mein Kampf," and that the character was originally a vicious rat known as Shmuel the Bolshevik. Politics aside, Disney realized that America did not have the same rich tradition of antisemitic caricature that Europe had. So Shmuel became a Negro parody, and Mickey Mouse was born.

Shouldn't this go in the Disney Rumors thread?

We have a rumor thread? I thought that was just hearsay.

Every Disney rumor thread ever created on the internet was actually created by Disney itself, just to keep people guessing.

RStar · 03-25-2009, 12:56 PM

So, have you asked them why no Disney books? I'm just wondering what the thoughts are.

Moonliner · 03-25-2009, 01:05 PM

No. I don't have any direct contact with the parents and I expect it would just lead down a bad road if I was to press the issue. So we'll donate some books, Headliner will dance with her crew and life will go on.

Of course I might suggest that she requests a few Disney songs from the DJ....
