Wanna hurt Disney????

[Skidmore]

Start referring to the * administration as the "Mickey Mouse administration" putting forth "Mickey Mouse policies" and "Mickey Mouse solutions" and fighting a "Mickey Mouse war", all perpetuated by the "Mickey Mouse Party." Use their love of branding against them and wrap Disney and BFEE and the GOP into one big ball of corporate BS propaganda. Turn the brand against them. The GOPs new symbol is Mickey Mouse.

Edited to add: * and his cabinet are now the Mouseketeers when they appear together to sell some odious PR claptrap. Rove is now Goofy and the Republic Congress... well gee, folks help me out here--we can get really creative with this.

[babylonsister]

1. I really like that suggestion! nt

[wtmusic]

2. People who work there playfully refer to it as "Mauschwitz"

Not a lotta love at Disney.

[suziedemocrat]

74. I worked as a programmer at Team Disney in Orlando (or Mousecatraz)

The building was designed by a famous guy, but it looked an awful lot like a prison from the inside.

[BootinUp]

3. This has possibilities.

Perhaps the liberal blogging community can make something happen there. Keep thinking up ideas Skidmore, not bad.

[lonestarnot]

4. Yes. Excellent. Have already been using this idea.

[bahrbearian]

5. Of course that is perfect.

[Botany]

6. hmmmmmmmmmmm

I see bush is an idiot

K E Y

Why because bush is an idiot

M O U S E

bushy mouse bushy mouse

I wonder if he is high?

[malaise]

7. I've been referring to the

movie as a Mickey mouse version of history. Great idea.

I read this book in the 70s and that was the end of Disney for me anyway.

[OhioChick]

8. "Mickey Mouse administration"

I like it. Very catchy phrase, likely to stick.

[valerief]

9. Condi does look a lot like Goofy. n/t

[Benhurst]

17. Take that back!

Goofy, even though he is a creation of Disney, has a kind face.

And he's better looking that Condoleezza (sic), too.

[valerief]

19. It's all in the teeth. And the shoes. n/t

[TriMetFan]

18. Now if some one could Photo Shop that.

Please.

[Benhurst]

24. Yeah, it would be great. But if Condoleezza (sic) is really made to look

as handsome as Goofy, will anybody recognize her?

[file83]

58. Condi looks like Jiminy Cricket....me thinks:

[dipsydoodle]

73. Looks like she's just burstin'

for a pee but trying not to show it.

[Red Right and BLUE]

76. But Jimminy Cricket is a CONSCIENCE, personified.

That won't work.

[City Lights]

10. A great suggestion!

And something even the sheeple will understand!

:thumbsup:

[cascadiance]

11. They're all "Morans" now! :)

[cyberpj]

12. Someone here posted this great photo of Rove with his Mickey Ears on:

[cyberpj]

13. Republicans in congress - The Mickey Mouse Club, of course. nt

[Skidmore]

15. YAY!!! Excellent!

[Joanne98]

26. Now it's time to say goodbye to all the family......(words to the song)

Who's the leader of the club
That's made for you and me?
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E! G-E-O-R-G-E-W-B-U-S-H

Hey, there! Hi, there! Ho, there!
You're as welcome as can be!
M--I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

Mickey Mouse! Donald Duck!
Mickey Mouse! Donald Duck!
Forever let us hold our banners high!
High! High! High!

Come along and sing a song
And join the jamboree
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

And, the ending...

(Softly)
Now's the time to say goodbye
To all our company
Through the years we'll all be friends
Wherever we may be
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E
Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse
Forever let us hold our banner high
M-I-C - See ya real soon!
K-E-Y - Why? Because we like you!
M-O-U-S-E!!

[cyberpj]

28. Whoops. Didn't see ya there. See my post #27 for the update. nt

[stevietheman]

14. Disney seems to be freakish about copyrights, so...

how about a mass violation of their copyrights? Remember the extraconstitutional Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act to protect Mickey Mouse profits?

I'm pretty much in tune with the idea that if Disney/ABC runs this lying crap, they should not merely be boycotted, but rather actively destroyed by the public. Anything we can imagine should be fair game.

[Skidmore]

16. They can't sue us all nor can they imprison us all.

They've made their brand so ubiquitous. Hasn't "Mickey Mouse" used entered the language as a slang phrase anyway for something cheap and mass produced?

[elehhhhna]

21. Yes. My dad was using that term that way at least 40 years ago.

[Skidmore]

22. That should take some of the copyright crap out of it if we stuck

to the "Mickey Mouse" label and used it as a term of derision, I would think. Let us brand them with this inocuous but ever present symbol of corporate, and now political, hubris.

[elehhhhna]

59. Oh for Jahs sake they can't sue us for typing MICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATION

MICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATIONMICKEY MOUSE ADMINISTRATION

Come and get me, Ditzney! Bring it on!

[Joanne98]

34. I'm sick of copyright nazi's anyway. Screw em.

[valerief]

23. What about Muckey Mouse, who mucks everything up? Of course,

Big Dick Cheney would be Meany Mouse. Condi would be Goochi.

[Breeze54]

20. --> "Mickey Mouse GOP Party" !

;)

[cascadiance]

25. A few more pics...

[malaise]

35. LOL

This is priceless!!!!!!! I am making a copy and saving it. When I do anti-Bush events, I am going to sing it and have written fliers explaining what it means and how Disney sold out the public's trust!!!!!

[BlueStorm]

62. Wow, what a creative bunch here at DU!!!

I cannot even do that, I can't think up of good things like that. But keep up the good work!!!

-Hoot

[Skidmore]

41. Elmer Fudd?

[Joanne98]

48. Not Cheney at all. forget i said that.

[Cameron27]

[TexasProgresive]

42. Here's my suggestions for roles

Rumfelds as Donald Duck
Cheney As Scrooge McDuck
BabyBush as Goofy
Rice as Minnie Mouse
Hughes as Clare Bell
Laura as Pluto
Ari, Scotty and Tony as Huey, Dewy and Louie Duck
KKKarl as Mickey Mouse

[Joanne98]

46. List of Disney characters (wikipedia)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Disney_characters

[Skidmore]

50. I say keep it simple and limit it to a well known icon.

[Joanne98]

51. Your right.

[Skidmore]

47. Folks, let's have a daily Mickey Mouse Club Report up

to keep track of the Republic Congress and their agenda and an accompanying list of activities to counteract each point!!! Then we can also have a list of Mickey Mouse Club Candidates and a report on campaigns.

Are you game for this? How about Mickey Mouse stickers with the local Mickey Mouse Candidate on it to paste up on light poles or public bulletin boards etc?

Get where I'm going with this? It needs to be EVERYWHERE!! We're branding them. People need to see Mickey Mouse and think Republican and * administration.

[Joanne98]

49. YES! Who's the leader of the club that's made for you and me....

SKIDMORE!

[Joanne98]

54. I FOUND THE AUDIO! Who's the leader of the club....HIGH HIGH HIGH

http://www.fortunecity.com/millenium/plumpton/345/march1.wav

No wonder we grew up taking drugs. LOL

[BootinUp]

71. Kevin Phillips called them 'the bar scene from Star Wars' back in

1994 !

[Harry Monroe]

72. I remember a "Saturday Night Live" sketch...

...satirizing the "Mickey Mouse Club" They called it the "Ricky Rat Club". Why not the "Dicky Rat Club" in honor of Dick Cheney??

[LiberalEsto]

77. Cheney as Scrooge McDuck! nt

[samsingh]

79. good suggestion - hits two issues at once

[Joe Chi Minh]

80. Spot on. Dems scarcely begin to turn around their spin.

What's this "Al Quaida" nonsense, for example? Always refer to it in English, i.e. as "The Database", not as "Al Quaida".

When some one asks you what's this "Database" you're talking about, just explain to them that that is all the words mean. Using the Arabic term, "Al Quaida" is just an attempt to make it sound exotic, furrin and sinister. It means simply "the database" which identifies the Mujahadin terrorists recruited and trained by the CIA to fight against the Russians in Afghanistan.

There are no guys in white hats here, so it should be little wonder that pragmatism is what is called for to remedy the situation. No terrorist organisation have ever been successful for long without the support of the indigenous population. It should always be borne in mind that most people in every country are immensely long-suffering, so enduring terrorist movements and revolutions are always a judgement on their enemies. We need, therefore, to purposefully set about removing the injustices that led to the terrorism.

One of President Clinton's greatest strengths was that people throughout the world sensed that, if he could have his way, everyone would be friends, and there would be no oppression anywhere in the world, on any basis. And his malevolent enemies on the right could only "tear their garments" in the face of his popularity (not to speak of his unprofitable peace-making!).

Incidentally, it will not be possible to effect the latter, if our governments continue to despise and oppress their own people. Justice is a jealous mistress. She wants the world, and won't be anyone's pawn simply for pragmatic purposes, hence the need for a socially-enlightened government, which believes that the nation, the country, comprises all its people, including the poorest.
