teh funny. I love Disney.
Published by Mike Stark January 8th, 2007 in UncategorizedLittle known fact: my nickname was Mickey when I was a kid. It’s bound to come out…
So I called Disney this morning and spent half the morning trying to get through to somebody that wanted to talk about the KSFO controvery. Finally, to their credit (it was only about 30 minutes after my last call), they got back to me.
Disney: “we’re just not commenting at all.”
The former Mickey: “Oh, OK… well, that’s… uh… that’s… that’s good to hear. Uhm, well I wanted to let you know that if you did want to have any kind of conversation with us at any time… I’ve kinda coordinated this action. So I wanted to give you my contact information and let you know that if Disney ever did want to start a dialogue with their customers - if there ever was a time in which Disney decided to care enough about the people that are concerned about Disney’s brand and the idea of the Little Mermaid and Mickey Mouse condoning torture and you know, blowing up mosques…
Disney: Well, yeah, I, uh, I think I understand where you are going. In any case we are not commenting.
The former Mickey: Right, I know you’re not commenting right now, but…
Disney: (with emphasis) OK? So I think that’s it…
…
These people just don’t care. Maybe somebody should kidnap Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh and the Little Mermaid… Does anyone have decent photoshop skills? I’ve got an idea…

So Mickie and Minny, Donald and Daisy, Huey, Dooey and Looey all promote torture and the killing of Muslims simply because they’re Muslim. That’s a new one. Maybe you could photoshop them with some civilians in Iraq and Vietnam to show how these characters and injured people could blend together in people’s minds.
Then, to avoid a libel suit, how about a headline like “Do Mickey and Minnie approve of torture?” Disney owns KSFO Radio in San Francisco. KSFO allows its commentators to speak like this:
(etc.)
Another little knwn fact:
The Democratic National Committee took on KSFO in 1995:

great minds think alike.
Mike, When it comes to Photoshop, I am known to be a wizard. For the past 18 years, I’ve done freelance artwork and seps for screenprinting, and can provide samples if you would like. Send me an e-mail with your idea and any source material and I’d be happy to work on it for you….pro bono, of course. Look forward to hearing from you.

Huh, that’s kind of odd. ‘No comment’? I suppose we could assume they hadn’t heard about it yet but I find that hard to believe, in light of the fact that nat’l advertisers have pulled away from KSFO already.
And you can’t tell me that Disney doesn’t have a pool of Risk Management professionals 6 levels deep.
Maybe it’s a Monday thing. Y’know, everyone coming back from the weekend, still trying to get their Mouse Ears on and get back into their groove. I’d love to have been a fly on the wall at KSFO this morning, though. Who knows - tomorrow may be even better.

Mick, Hi, its Steph (one of your old acquantences) Bam told me to check youtube for your senator allen attacks. So anyway… good to see you. Thanks for the entertainment, and do you have a youtube screen name where i can see any other vids you post?
Hope all else is well. Stephanie (Jones)
Must be strange for Mike Stark to be all dressed and ready to go to a party NOBODY cares about anymore. You could not be further off anyones radar screen. Fifteen minutes are up buddy.
glen,
as you will never get even a minute….jealous much???
all wingnut trolls will be sent to gitmo under my administration
as for disney….calling back to say no comment??? that was fucking hilarious
Mike,
If Disney does not want to comment, maybe some of their institutional investors would like to comment? I bet some of these investors that are holding 5-10 million dollars worth of disney stock found out that they are promoting attacks on religious centers and hatred, they may reconsider their holdings.
Also, post your information on all of the stock blogs relating to disney stock. See how people handle that. It would be like shaking salt in a wound there.
Watch out Mike! There is a big blinking red neon thread at Freerepublic with all kinda scare quotes about you, Spocko, and the rest if us eeeeevil lie-beral censors! I expect you’ll be flooded with mouth breathing wingnut trolls shortly!
Does anyone have decent photoshop skills?
Hmmmmmm, I theenk I know someone like that.
Check jour email.

Looks like a trainload of talent responding to your call-to-arms here. But this thing could go worldwide, and we may well need some of the rest of the world to pitch in and help overturn this company. It’s big.
I bet Banksy might be interested in something like this. Can you reach him and run it by him?
“Arrest the Police State!”
Hey Suskind -
THANKS.
That’s interesting. So KSFO is a recidivist hate mongerer…
This is the first I’ve seen of this and it should be more widely disseminated. Gives us all the more weight to come at their advertisers with.
We’ve got to get that word out folks - KSFO has been doing this for a long time.
