Can't make this up. I guess they are being rewarded for the gay childrens movies, etc.

Maybe Micky Mouse would be better or a different Disney character on each denomination.

From the article

So far, we haven’t had official confirmation of the United States government’s plan to print “Disney” in place of “Benjamin,” so We are taking news reports lightly at this point of time…. But did this satire piece fool you? We agree that the incomparably talented Walt Disney certainly deserves such prominence.

“Maybe Micky Mouse would be better or a different Disney character on each denomination.”

Why not just print Brandon’s image on it since he is a cartoon character too.

Luckily, I will not have to look at it - I use the card for anything more than $40. So I only see ones, tens and twenties.

Same with the ugly quarters - I don’t carry change around with me.

Satire. Not funny, but satire.

Could not happen. White, straight, male, and alleged to have hated Jews.
