1. Thanks n/t

[Dinger]

2. Thanks - Holy Cow! Where Did You Get That List? K & R!

Awesome, and oh yeah, done!

[Taverner]

6. Wikipedia

Pretty sure it's up to date, but contact them for any discrepancies

[AlamoDemoc]

3. thanks...k&R

[ClintonTyree]

4. I'm going to have to print this.........

and keep it in my wallet. I don't want one penny of my money going to these Reich-Wing asswipes! :grr:

[stepnw1f]

5. Good Work.... Kick! (nt)

[global1]

7. Disney Stores At Most Major Malls Around The U.S. .....

these are perfect to boycott and protest right out in front of the store.

[kaygore]

14. Wow! Excellent idea if the malls will let us in

[EFerrari]

8. We need a really goodlooking website for this. n/t

[AX10]

9. That's a shipload of holdings. You see why media conglomeration...

is bad.

[bluetrain]

10. This is all well and good but

it isn't just ABC/Disney who are complicit. NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, etc., hell, even PBS & NPR have intentionally failed to present the truth and continue to do so. Can we, realistically, stage a mass boycott of all Corporate Media and their subsidiaries? I don't even own a tv at this point and the only radio I listen to is Air America and 9 out of 10 times going to the movies it's a tiny indie film that likely won't even get release outside of LA or NYC. But that's me. I still buy toothpaste and groceries and gasoline and electronics. There may be a corporation or, perhaps, two which are not complicit in this fascist nightmare, but can we survive only purchasing from them? I don't think it's realistic to expect America as a whole to throw out their tv's nor to go to the store with a 15 page list of assholes to boycott to double check against the items they want. I think our focus needs to really be on making sure we have free and fair elections. We need to get rid of the electronic machines which leave no paper trail as well as the optiscan machines which are made the same companies. No boycott or protest is going to help if we don't have the ability to elect officials who actually represent us.

[orwell]

11. Agreed...n/t

[kaygore]

16. I agree to a point. But if we tank one--Disney--then the rest will take

notice, I promise.

This is why the right has had so much power. They had the will to boycott and carry through on their threats.

The bottom line is that these companies are in business to make money. They really don't care about politics except when politics can further their ability to make more money.

If playing politics tanks the Disney dynasty then other will be less likely to do so.

It is ALL about money $$$$$ with these soulless bastards.

Propaganda is NOT a family value.

[treestar]

20. Might be interesting to try

I think it's possible. Would probably increase quality of life and improve brain function, too.

[Nikki Stone 1]

12. K & R #5

Greatest page

[kaygore]

13. Thank you, I have been looking for this list. I've made a copy and

will post it across the Internet here and internationally!!!!!


Let's tank the Disney dynasty.

Those bastards are a bunch of fascists. They deserve to be history.

Also, we need to send boycott letters to all who advertise in any of these venues.

We should also picket Disney theme parks. Perhaps start holding our war marches, etc. there. Usually have low prices on flights and hotel rooms and many other sites that are NOT Disney owned or controlled.

15. Back in 2001 Asian film fans took on Disney

Background: Miramax has come under criticism from foreign film fans for its editing, dubbing, and replacing the soundtracks of various foreign films it releases. One notable example is Iron Monkey, which though released subtitled, had its subtitles altered to remove the political context of the story, had scenes trimmed and changed for violence and pacing, and had the soundtrack changed, removing the famous Wong Fei Hung theme. Other films that they have altered in this way include Shaolin Soccer, Farewell My Concubine (theatrical release) and Jet Li's Fist of Legend, which was released both edited and dubbed, with no option to watch the DVD subtitled. The Weinsteins' Miramax also had a history of buying the rights to Asian films only to sit on them without releasing them for some years, while trying to bar retailers from selling authentic imported DVDs of the films.

[kaygore]

17. Did it have any effect?

[chat_noir]

18. Yes!!

Miramax has announced the R1 release (finally!) of Shaolin Soccer. It is planned to include the full, uncut Cantonese version of the film. They have even mentioned the petitions by fans for this version in their ads.

Miramax released an edited version of Shaolin Soccer in the US market on April 2, 2004. Missing over 20 minutes of footage, and featuring English dubbing, the Miramax release came under heavy criticism from Hong Kong film fans (not to mention box office failure from people who had bought the import DVD three years earlier), leading the studio to reinstate both the excised footage and the original Chinese language audio as a viewer option for the US DVD release.

21. Can you post this information as a separate thread so more will read

it. They need to know that such boycotts do have an effect and that Nielsen is not the be all and end all.

[City Lights]

19. Thank you, Taverner.

I've got more channels to block later, so I'm bookmarking. :hi:

[greiner3]

22. Politics make strange bedfellows etc...

Are the fundies still boycotting disney et al for disney's stance on gays and rights and all that messy business? Lol, if so I for one would not want THAT news getting on MSM! Maybe one cancels the other and defeating Dems is the whole idea after all.

[Taverner]

23. Just a friendly reminder :)
