It's time to Dump Disney!!!
That's right...

The moment this POS "Crapumentary" airs I'm dumping everything Disney.

I'm Dumping my stock, I'm Dumping my merchandise, and I'm dumping my faith in the company. And we should all do the same.

For years I've collected Disney memorabilia. Not deliberately, but as a matter of course I have acquired all kinds of Disney movies, cups and glasses, silverware, posters, pictures, and even a limited edition sterling silver pocket watch from my Grandfather.
I'll liquidate the whole lot of it, and here is why;

If there's anyone out there in the market for Disney items of any kind, I will sell anything in my collection to them for pennies on the dollar before I let them buy direct from Disney. I will sell everything I have that Disney could possibly sell in any form to prevent them from making one extra dime on anyone else.

The Disenchanted Kindom deserves much more than this given their history of theft and libel. But this one issue is the last straw for me, and no one in my family will own anything Disney so long as I run the estate... and my children will carry that in full understanding of why.

Disney is about to suffer a run on their stock, and you bet your ass I'm going to be a part of it.

So I ask all you DU'ers;

What Disney merchandise are you going to liquidate on Ebay to send a message to Disney?

Honestly, I don't care. I'm selling off my stock on Monday no matter what they 'decide'. I can do better with gold or Time/Warner for the moment.

As far as I'm concerned, Disney has no place in my home anymore. I love the movies, but I will let them go so that Disney makes no money on at least one more customer who might have otherwise bought their stuff.

Seriously people, Disney has sold us out, it's time to sell them.

2. That's hard core...
Put it up on Ebay... make a few bucks for gas. That's what I'm doing.

That's all this garbage is going to be worth to me anymore.

4. I love the spirit of you people! I refuse to have a mobile phone,
not simply because it's unnecessary, and the rates, a rip-off, but because I loathe the murderous cynicism of the big corporations, whether telecomms, energy, banks, insurance companies, you name it. And I want to starve them of funds!!! I kid you not. But nobody else here in the UK seems to get it.

I remember British Gas and British Telecom as particular rip-off merchants and track their chameleon name-changes and corporate camouflages as closely as I can, to avoid funding them. If I could patronise a French bank here, I would. I believe Shariah banks are becoming popular.
