Oh, Anne, shut the hell up would you? Jesus fu…

Just kidding. I may have been stating the obvious there, mayn’t I. And, yeah, boycotts on the one hand, but on the other that’s what it comes down to, what you spend your money on. Like I’d rather go to another prostate exam (which it occurs to me I’m overdue for… expect a post on that once I locate a urologist, as my old one is gone until July for some reason) than pay to see a movie by that one guy, Demi Moore’s ex-husband, Bruce Willis, because he’s a Republican, you know?

Does that make me a cranky old cranky guy?

You know what Beta said after reading that Disney post over my shoulder? “At least you’re ranting here, where I can just click the window closed, and not in the car where I have to listen to it all the way to school.”

I used to live in Orlando, and would wonder at how the workers at Disney could always remain so cheerful and smiling. Then it occurred to me that maybe when you go there for an interview, they conk you on the head and replace you with an audio-animatronic double programmed to be eternally chipper. This is entirely within the realm of possibility; I’m sure their robotic technicians have come a long way since The Hall of the Presidents or the Country Bears. Evil niblet fucks.

okay, but a million years ago, when disney was “behind” the ellen degeneres show, which featured a lesbian! on tv! which is shocking!! a bunch of southern baptists tried to organize a disney boycott…
…and realized it was impossible. you don’t even know how many pies disney’s fingers are in. put it this way: it goes beyond the princesses.
wow, i meant that to sound gross, but not QUITE that gross. but now i’m all pleased with my accidental graphic metaphor, so, i’m leaving it. must…find… breathalizer.

ehn. disney should let miramax distribute it, cause it’s a miramaxy kind of film and they want to and it will make them piles of money. but i’d march in the streets to defend their right to not distribute it, if they feel like that. it seems a bad financial decision; on the other hand, that seems to be sort of eisner’s specialty.

also: don’t even get me started on disney.
