NASHVILLE - Southern Baptists are ready to put their Mickey Mouse ears back on.

The annual meeting of the 16.3 million-member Southern Baptist Convention voted Wednesday to end its eight-year boycott of the Disney Co., with Baptist leaders saying the company has taken a turn toward producing more family-friendly entertainment and fewer morally objectionable films.

A resolution approved by the 12,000 delegates from churches around the country said the boycott, in effect since 1997, had "communicated effectively our displeasure concerning products and policies that violate moral righteousness and traditional family values."

3. Least effective boycott of all-time

Congrats SBC.

4. Disney bowed down and digitally minimized Lindsey Lohan's breasts

9. Not much recognition of Puberty is there at the theme park of

Perpetual preadolescence.

5. Good Gawwd the American Pavillion will be wall to wall plastic hair

6. Wasn't part of their reasoning for the boycott the fact that Ellen

came out on her show? I wonder if they consider Finding Nemo part of the family-friendly entertainment :) . . . I mean . . . they still pay Ellen, so why stop the ineffectual boycott.

I'd say their boycott was about as effective as O'Splotchy's boycott of Pepsi.

7. I wonder if Disney's refusal to release F9/11 was in play here

Genius idea by Eisner there huh?

8. Can they boycott existing in this world?

That would work for me.

10. Don't you just wish...

...everyone could live in a world like Disneyland? You'd have Liberal Island (count me in!), Southern Baptist Land, W Land (would be like Bizarro World, where everything is backward?), etc.....

Seriously, I love the fact that the SBs felt compelled to end their non-boycott. :) They just wanted to remind everyone that there really WAS a boycott... really!!!

12. "communicated effectively our displeasure" LMAO

So will Disney have to open a new parking lot to accomodate these guys?

13. Stay away, the lines will be shorter

The boycott was a joke to begin with. However, I hope that this does not increse the crowds at WDW.
