[snip ridiculous farrago that isn't worth the trouble to argue with]
I note without surprise that none of the spurious verbiage in this thread has touched on the real issue: the overt approval of slavery in Disney cartoons. Goofy, the mentally subnormal yet independently wealthy canine who made millions by appearing in the various Disney self-help movies cranked out to take advantage of the desperate attempts at self- improvement among the American proletariat, is accorded nominal parity with the Mouse and the Duck (obverse and reverse of the same devalued coin). Pluto, meanwhile, is kept in shameful subjection to the Mouse, and periodically tormented and doubtless molested by the Duck (surely a typo! And now we know why he doesn't wear trousers). Truly, the roots of Abu Ghraib are to be found in Disney's portrayal of the 'foreign dogs'. If powerful they are pandered to despite their manifest inadequacies; if useless, they are kept chained up in kennels. If anyone now doubts that Disney's severed head is giving instructions to the White House after the manner of Alcasan in 'That Hideous Strength' (by CS Lewis, friend of Tolkien - voila! En topique!) then that person is a fool, a popinjay, a pommefrite, and I will expose them accordingly. -- Matthew
