Bustin' on the Jesus Freaks...

Exactly. Disney is an organization that provides benefits to same-sex partners. Why ruin a fine company as that by associating it with the wrong element?

Evil retarded rednecks.

Disney once went after a nursery school (in Nebraska, iirc) whose kids had painted Mickey Mouse on the building as part of a school mural.

If Disney unleashes their lawyers, the Farrgut folks will get a first-hand introduction to Satan's minions.

I resent the email to licensing@pixar.com as instructed by their autoreply.

Koyaanisqatsi - yeah. The phrasing of the previous sentence was a bit harsh, so I used the emoticon to lighten it a bit. Sure I could've rephrased it, but I didn't feel like it and took the easy way out - after all, the substance of the letter is more important than the style of it.

Oh, and the emoticon didn't come out as a smilie, only as the keyboard strokes that makes the smilie.

[Bkeela]

Wow, what an arsehole you are!

[JohnT]

Thanks!

JohnT is a ****ing narc...

[JohnT]

See? Two for one! How could I resist?

[Theben]

If Drake disapproves you know you've done good...

[Drake Tungsten]

A part of me does applaud your crushing of the little guy in favor of a giant corporation though. You definitely live up to the billing in your location field...

[JohnT]

Hey, it's my daughter at stake here. I don't want her attracted to some damn cult because they're using images that kids like.
