Disney World Gets Rid Of Janet Jackson Mickey Statue

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Janet Jackson's mouse is history.

Disney has quietly gotten rid of a 6-foot statue of Mickey Mouse that was dressed like Jackson.

The 700-pound statue statue used a tight black outfit Jackson wore in 1990 after the release of her album, "Rhythm Nation 1928
The statue was one of 75 unveiled at Disney World last fall to celebrate the 75th birthday of Mickey Mouse.

They were inspired by celebrities such as Andre Agassi, Jamie Lee Curtis and Ellen DeGeneres.

Disney spokesman Gary Foster told the Orlando Sentinel considering all the controversy it drew, they decided to replace Jackson's Mickey with a new one.

It's been replaced by a spare statue designed by an in-house Disney artist. The statues -- minus the Jackson one -- have been shipped to a convention center in Philadelphia, for investors to see at Disney's annual shareholder meeting.

Jackson has been criticized for her breast-baring Super Bowl halftime show.

I would pay for the opportunity to take a sledge hammer to it, then auction off the pieces of it to a worth while charity.

Actually it is on display in Universal Studios.. near Nickelodeon... under a huge VIACOM banner... they are trying to re-coup what they lost in residual revenue they lost because of her MTV/CBS stunt... it costs $4.38 to see the statue... but they had to change Mickey's features to look more like Sponge Bob... Oh wait.. that is spongebob...

And that is why DishTV dropped Viacom too.. it is really all Janet Jackson's fault... her PSYCHO Brother probably is behind all of this.. it's a terrible conspiricy... OH NO!!! What should we do????

Let's Ban ALL the Jacksons... All Viacom... and and all skin tight black outfits!!!

OK, so we kicked Janet Jacksons Mickey out because of Super Bowl [a one time incident] but they leave in Rosie O'Donnell's statue. Let's see........a bad judgement for a one time spot, vs. a lifelong of controversey and arguments.......uhm?!!!!!
