Beer campaign earns Disney's wrath
The Daily Telegraph ^ | October 15, 2009

Posted on 10/14/2009 7:15:06 AM PDT by myknowledge

BLOWING smoke rings as she lies back in bed with seven semi-naked dwarves tucked alongside, it's Snow White like you've never seen before.

Now this risque version of the fairytale favourite, renamed "Ho White" to promote a local beer, has drawn the wrath of Disney.

The Jamieson's Raspberry Ale campaign, launched by brewers The Foundry online this week, features an adults-only take on the fairytale character, with dwarves named Filthy, Smarmy and Randy replacing Sleepy, Happy and Doc.

I remember during the Utah Winter Olympics a local microbrewery produced Polygamy Porter, motto:” Take an extra 6 pack home for the wives.”

This drew some wrath from the authorities.

But having a “gay day” at Disney World,
and refusing to warn families that it’s happening,

it’s just AOK with them.

They wouldn’t have said anything if the dwarves were women

Had they depicted Ellen Degenerate and the Seven Carpet Munchers, Disney would have signed on as a sponsor.

When disney didn’t fire the pedophile director of the movie powder, it was no longer the disney we knew.

I don’t let my kids watch Disney, nor play with their products.

As Michael Pearl stated - “sure, it’s OK to let your kids watch a Disney movie, even though the place is run by a bunch of queers.”

Disney does not sponsor "gay days" -- any bunch of yahoos can get group discount tickets if they buy enough of them. If enough folks named "Melvin" wanted to go at once, I'm sure they could put together a "Melvin Day" and get group discount tickets. And no one would say anything about Disney being too Melvin-friendly.

On the other hand, Disney does officially sponsor the Night of Joy event (it's actually multiple nights), which is a Christian music festival held inside on of the parks after normal closing time.

Did I say “sponsor”? No, I didn’t.

But they sure as hell knew in advance that this “event” was happening and could have made it known to families so that they wouldn’t be exposed to queers on a leash.

Other than a couple of dvd’s (one of which I didn’t know was disney-national treasure w/nicholas cage), I too quit supporting them after the powder movie fiasco. It was mortifying imho. There was a thread a day or two ago discussing miley cyrus dressing like and/or acting like a stripper at a concert.. The audience was filled with kids younger than 10... Good ‘ol disney...I mentioned the movie “powder” on it too. So many people have forgotten what happened to the young actor on it.

I just did a quick search,

and, in Disney’s defense,

they reversed their “no refund” policy on gay day,
and the “gayday” community is incensed at the indignity of the warning signs they put up at the entrance on gay day.
