We must band together and BOYCOTT Disney

[Used and Abused]

Is this a feasible option? I'm tired of the right-wing bias. Can we organize a boycott of all Disney products/shows

[Commendatori]

1. Way ahead of you

I wasn't a Disney fan even back when they hooked up with Moore to begin with, I'm sure not going to change my habits now.

I did send them a cyber fart, though.

[Used and Abused]

2. That's great

I'd like them to KNOW that we're boycotting them, and that it is an organized effort. Bush lied and thousands died. They should be ashamed of themselves!

3. I am in tough, tough, tough position. . .

. . .I was just hired by a Disney company to do a PR program. Its on an ongoing client. Oy vey!

[calimary]

6. Oh, bless your heart! I have two friends who are also Disney employees

on PR campaigns. One of them writes the copy for the ads on all the new videos and DVD releases. Sheesh. They're both ardent Dems - I bet they're mortified.

HOWEVER...

YOU may be uniquely positioned to pass along some selected email addresses and snailmail/fax info for us and others to use for contact purposes...

Don't kick yourself, my friend! YOU could be a silver lining...

Besides, you're in a good position to influence just a few more coworkers. Even one or two. Watercooler talk, y'know? This need not be a bad thing.

11. Thanks for being so cavalier with my livelyhood

"YOU may be uniquely positioned to pass along some selected email addresses and snailmail/fax info for us and others to use for contact purposes..."

12. Nothing cavalier about it. Certainly didn't mean it that way.

I was trying to cheer you up a little. That's what I'd tell anybody I was trying to offer some encouragement. AND to be supportive.

One of my above-mentioned friends at Disney has dropped a subtle note or two on another subject, at one time or other. It was just a suggestion - along the avenue of "door locked? Look for a side window" approach. People post here, very often, looking for ideas, alternatives, strategies, and other such maneuvers to get us around a relentless series of blockades into the light. I try to provide ideas when and if I can. You can take it or leave it.

8. Ooohhh.... the possibilities are boundless

You could insert a subliminal message to boycott disney and vote democratic.

4. Disney blocking the release of F911 is not necessarily a bad thing

It might actulaly be a GREAT thing for the movie, my thread:

5. Bill O'Rielly is probably already

boycotting Disney and he'll take all the credit. I think he's now boycotting every company and every country if I'm not mistaken

7. Anybody else having problems with

with mikes website?

9. Why? What have they done, or not done, this time?

I just don't want to get confused with the Southern Baptists who are boycotting Disney for offering partner benefits to its employees.

[mitchum]

10. I already do (because I have good taste)

Why in the hell would I consume their pablum?
Mouse Pimps!

[Toucano]

13. No, no point.

But we should milk the controversy for all the free publicity we can get. :)

The movie will still be released through a different distributor.

Disney isn't perfect, but they do a lot of good.
