Lots of white guilt here:

Walt Disney's America
quote:

Media historian Susan Douglas explores how Walt Disney, through his television program and Disneyland, presented Americans with an idealized version of their country. "He's selling a version of America that's very flattering to the country," she says, "[But] it deludes you into thinking that there aren't problems that you have to confront."
Apparently, she thinks Disneyland should have been a museum rather than a theme park that immerses the guest into a different world.

It is called THE MAGIC KINGDOM.

It was supposed to be a happy idyllic fantasy setting.

I'm ready.

Time for The Rapture!

Man, talk about a topic from the "no shite" category.

OF COURSE Disney presented an idealized version of reality. He was an ENTERTAINER.

Seriously, are there any of these super feminists that anyone would think about having sex with. I'm believing that the real reason they are angry is lack of the penis.
