Pulling No Punches: The T-E-Double-Grr-ible Truth/First They Came for Tigger

[Fortuosity]

When you think a Disney "Character"/"Princess" may be "hitting on you," -- s/he really is! I seriously felt like taking a Fortnight off from continuing this thread after the previous post, but I just couldn't leave you to the "mercy" of Disney and live with myself, so somehow I will press on. Please pardon the limp and the bag of frozen peas as I link and let you decide: The T-E-Double Grr-ible Truth, continued...




Allow me to ask: Do you care about your children’s education? Are you pixie-dust-deluded enough to think Disney does too? Do you think “hitting the books” is merely a metaphor for study in Walt’s World? Have you even read the original stories on which so many of Disney’s films are “based”? Read it and weep:

Readin’, Ritin’ & … Rumblin’? Lit. Takes a Disney Hit - Link

The Disney Gang-banger "Bookies" - Mickey the Mobster Mouse - Link; Donald Vito Corleone Duck - Link; Goofy the Goon - Link

The Rural Roundhouse - I-Cane-Reed Country Kick-Your-Bum Kin - Link + Bad Bears Beat Books - Picture Link

A is for Awful Alice: A Classic (Gets) Clipped - The White Rabbit Punch - Picture Link

Disney, Punch Out
Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland Punch-out Book: Adprint, London n.d.

He can lie about it all he wants, but the nose shows what it knows. - Link

Not even your littlest ones have been left unmolested - Toyland, Toyland, Beautiful Girl and Boy Land?



Okay, you say, when Disney takes care of the books, it really "takes care" of the books -- so what? All right, maybe education isn’t all that high on your priority list. Maybe you haven’t dusted off a book since second grade. There’s more than one way to knock your block off, as Disney well knows...

I'm afraid you're going to have to be a little more blunt with your humor. Perhaps instead of linking, you should add pics of what you're linking. Some apparently think you're linking to child porn web sites or the like.

Is Disney really out to knock your block off, and if you bypass books can dastardly Disney still get to you? I link; you decide: The T-E-Double Grr-ible Truth continues...





Do you go to the movies? Enter Exhibit T(heater): The Disney Blockbuster.

The one-two punch of "Pirates" and "Cars" represents the first time in 20 years that the same studio had the year's number one and two films domestically.

So simply circumvent the Cinemark and stay home, then, eh? You won't escape since Disney doesn't hesitate to invade the “safe haven” of your living room. The Walt Disney Co. has flooded our homes with videos, laserdiscs, DVDs and Blu-Ray filled with -- brace yourselves -- CARTOON VIOLENCE! Disney has even gone so far as to brazenly mock us by spelling it out in the ratings descriptions, fully aware that we’re using our remotes to skip over such preliminaries. Furthermore, we may very well have become frog princes and princesses in Disney’s increasing-cartoon-violence kettle: The Onslaught Against Our Offspring - Link




But are Disney’s shows and films really becoming more violent, you ask? If, in fact, they are, it is imperative that we acknowledge that it’s all part of One Man’s Dogfigh- er, Dreamf(l)ight, and we have no one to blame but ourselves if we “didn’t see it coming”. Indeed, it was right there in front of our fifties’ faces in glorious black and white:

Sing with me now:

Who’s the leader of the CLUB that’s made for you and me?
M-I-C, K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E!

A club for our cabezas; a noose for our necks;
A magical summons to drown us to death.

Wishing on stars will not save you and me
When THIS is the fate of a Mouse Employee!

And there’s more -- much, much more than I have time to tell you in this thread. If the Pixie-Dust scales haven’t fallen from your eyes yet, go Googling around in the dark recesses of The Disney Vault and discover the T-E-Double Grr-ible Truth for yourself. A good place to start might be Disney’s melodious - or more accurately, odious - melodies. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious anyone?

Because I was afraid to speak when I was just a lad
Me father gave me nose a tweak and told me I was bad

Oy. My head hurts. Do your posts contain encrypted messages? Do I need one of those little clear red decoders that you get from cereal boxes to hold over the screen? Will there be an answer?!?

 

[crazee4mickey]

Whatever it is you're smokin' pass it around

This thread is just plain weird......
I'm sure its supposed to mean something but I'm too lazy to figure it out!

The word I highlighted...isn't that a Dis member---I'm bored, trying to make something out of nothing I guess!
(I was going to do a search, but we all know what the new Dis search engine is like!!)

Dude, your posts are so strange I'm afraid to click ANY of your links!

I agree


Did some one say party?

 

[ilovepooh]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't get this thread.

Do you not like anything to do with Disney/WDW? If you don't, why are you a member of the DIS to begin with?

I had to grab my megaphone and hunt down my Footstool for this post, so I could get up on my I-Link-You-Decide soapbox...

*Fort steps up onto Footstool*












*Fort takes a nasty tumble when Footstool runs out from under him. How "enchanting". *











*Fort clears throat*











*Fort raises megaphone to mouth... All of the sudden, totally out of nowhere, competely out of the blue, some Mickey Maniac dressed head-to-toe in lime green comes charging at him full tilt, makes a truly spectromagical tackle, and wrestles away his Mickey Mic. As Fort picks himself up off the ground and brushes the dirt from his Year of Million Dreams sweatshirt, Fort deeply regrets getting hooked on collecting Disney Antenna Toppers. Fortunately, this one was a *cough*"freebie"*cough* fortuitously lifted from a van carrying annoying Pop Warner cheerleaders. Oh, the fortuosity!*









*Fort makes mandatory Public Community (Board) Service Announcement: Fort also deeply regrets sinking so low as to steal someone's treasured topper.*











*Fort mumbles under breath: Well, maybe not deeply... *












*Fort clears throat again, and spreads his arms out to all of you in a grand DISplay of welcoming embrace. You think you spy a Hidden Mickey formed by the setting sun behind Fort's head together with his outstretched hands for the ears. You smile as a warm feeling of peace spreads through the whole of you. *

Good DIS people, who have traveled to Disney parks near and far…



*Good feeling gone! It sounds to you like you may be in for quite a ride. You instinctively cover as many of your ears and Ears as you can, while you check to see that your personal belongings, hands, arms and feet are tucked safely inside.*



Lend me your (Mouse)Ears!

(uh, oops, sorry...I wasn't really trying to swipe your souvenEARS, but, well, yanno, sometimes I just can't help myself….man, how embarrassing …I’m so ashamed …. what can I say?......that Disney Marketing Machine’s a menace!!! )



Hear me!


Mice -- and Men -- like Minnie and Mickey
MUST BE STOPPED!

STOPPED
from merchandising us into POVERTY! - Link


STOPPED
from HAMMERING our HEADS ‘til we’re too PUNCH-DRUNK to care! - Link



Let’s get together! If we stand up as one DISboards family -- even if we can no longer win Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Play It -- we CAN win the Disney Day!



The Timekeeper says it’s time to say: We’re not gonna take it! No! We ain’t gonna take it! We’re not gonna take it anymore, and

FIGHT BACK!!!!!

Adults/Ages 10 and up, are you with me?


Then take THIS, Disney! - Link




Kids/Ages 3-9, are you with me?


Then take THAT, Mickey!! - Link




LittleEars/Ages 2 and under, are you with me?


Oh, bother, Pooh’s gonna get his now!!! - Link





We're on to you, Disney. Do your worst! Lace our Dole Whips with Pixie Dust! Slip Hidden Mickeys into our Kungalooshes! Go ahead and just try to buy us off with those Big Bambi Bucks of yours, because we're not gonna take the tainted bai-.....uh, we're not gonna take, um.... what I mean to say is that we don't want any of your Disney Dolla--er, *cough*, erm, ahem....





*Hack*








*Wheeze*









*Choke*









Oh, Pixie Poop.

*Sigh*

Quatro--oddly enough, most of Fort's links are for Disney merchandise (punching bags, paper punches for scrapbooking and other scrapbooking paraphanalia, that sort of thing).

As for that last post....
