Re: Disney Blocks Distribution of Moore Film Critical of Bush
Liberals@vastrightwingconspiracy.gov BÎllary
an all American, family brand name like Disney should be associated with
left wing wacko socialist propaganda. Of course the left wing nuts are
going to scream "1st amendment". They ignore the fact that Michael Moore
is free to peddle his smut elsewhere through another distribution channel.
And that Disney is free to make a business decision that is good for it's
shareholders GOOD JOB DISNEY!!!!!

Yeah, sure. You're a rightwing shareholder of a company who dated to

The continued attacks by the media on the Disney organization will
either force them to police behavior or eventually the tourists will
find other places to spend their vacations. I seriously doubt that
there are enough tourists who don't mind their children being exposed
to queers prancing around in women's clothing and rubbing on each
other to keep the place afloat.

I have a friend who had to be forcibly restrained to keep him from
killing Fred Phelps. He was the "Green" in a pride parade in San Fran.
the "Yellow" and "Blue" guys held his arms as they paraded past Phelps.
They knew he would have killed him. It would have been very, very ugly.
My friend is not the sort of person you want to fight. Not all gay men
are effeminate pansies you know. Lots of them are militant, capable of
putting up a fight, and some of them are angry enough at people like the
O.P. that they don't really care about consequences.

They're not. They just happen to have purchased Miramax, who bankrolled

Disney is certainly free to do this. We are also free to point out that
they are censors, and that they are putting politics ahead of common
sense. They're kissing Jeb Bush's ass now, but what happens when the
next governor is a Democrat? Bet you won't like it when they censor an
Ann Coulter film because it might piss off the Democrat...

Disney posts signs all over the park on Gay Day. No family has to see
"that behavior" unless they consciously choose to.
BTW, what behavior? You think they blow each other on space mountain?
And if they do, what's to stop heterosexuals from doing so the other 364
days each year? Do you wnat your kids seeing THAT behavior?

And what evidence do you have that any "overt sexual activity" happens
on Gay Day, but no other day?
Most "overt sexual activity" is illegal. Or do you mean kissing and

No, fuckwit.
A business open to the public should not be allowed to discriminate.
Disney is, of course, allowed to not distribute Moore's movie. And we're
allowed to point out what a bunch of spineless pathetic fucks they are

Gay day at disneyland seems to bring out the worst behavior. Perhaps
it's that there are so many of them that they feel brave enough to act
out where they know that if they did it most other places there might
likely be some severe consequences.

So the signs make it OK? The problem is that sometimes people come
from a long distance to spend time at Disneyland and they weren't
fore-warned that there was going to be a bunch of flaming queers
playing grab-ass all over the place. So

Blah, blah, blah, it isn;t censorship unless the government does it,

movie that his sponsors disapproved of and they control it.

yeah. But my friend spend about ten years as a carny worker. And about
20 years as a blacksmith. I don't think you'd take him for a pansy.
You probably wouldn't even realize he's gay, until after you'd offended
him past his high tolerance.
You sure as hell wouldn't want to be Fred Phelps and get in his way, not

Okay, so, maybe my friend is the exception. But be careful with your

Horseshit. Disney decided not to distribute Moore's latest
vitriolic rant because it's bad business to insult the tens of
millions of people who don't see Bush as a megalomaniac,
like the hate-filled Moore does. It has nothing to do with
where it falls on the political spectrum. They wouldn't
distribute a film that attacked BJ in such a way either.

My God, you are talking about ONE DAY OF THE YEAR!
Get a life. If you don't like it, don't go then.
Why is that sooooo complicated for you?
PS: Would you feel better if "gay day" included
Cheney's lesbian daughter, Newts lesbian sister,
Schlafley's gay son and Goldwater's gay son. Oh, and
the son of Operation Rescue's Randall Terry just
came out of the closet last month. Must be the fault
of the "failed liberal values" they were raised with, eh?
know-buddy
Mr. Moore does not disagree that "Fahrenheit 911" is highly charged,
but he took issue with the description of it as partisan. "If this is
partisan in any way it is partisan on the side of the poor and working
people in this country who provide fodder for this war machine," he
said.
Mr. Moore said the film describes financial connections between the
Bush family and its associates and prominent Saudi Arabian families
that go back three decades. He said it closely explores the
government's role in the evacuation of relatives of Mr. bin Laden from
the United States immediately after the 2001 attacks. The film
includes comments from American soldiers on the ground in Iraq
expressing disillusionment with the war, he said.

Actually, I have never been to a Disney park. But then,
I like to think I have better things to do than go any "theme"
park.
Funny - I don't see any of the "overt sexual activity"
you fear so at that site. Perhaps you could point it out
for us.

With the resources at their disposal, Disney isn't afraid
of anybody, including the government. FYI there is life
beyond the government.
Disney simply doesn't want to offend large numbers of
their customers with a politically divisive movie.

Could you show us where in the film Moore calls Putsch a megalomaniac?

"The State Department officially released its annual terrorism report
just a little more than an hour ago, but unlike last year, there's no

senior State Department official tells CNN the U.S. government made a

terrorism.'"

There are all sorts of money-making ventures in which Disney chooses
not to invest. They choose not to invest in the distribution of
Moore's propaganda. That's their business. Such choice is the
essence of freedom. Michael Moore and other ignorant commie suck
asses like Milt and yourself, would rather that the commie suck ass
elite, as personified by Michael Moore, Hillary Clinton, and John
Kerry, have the say of what gets distributed or created or built in
this country, instead of the people who actually plunk down their
own money and their own reputations in their own businesses.
>If you are an honest American company, stand up for the

Nobody is censoring Moore. Additionally, no one is obligated to
distribute his vile crap for him.
>What do others think? Should Moore be censored for the
>sake of Mr. Bush and his election campaign, or should he
>have the right to free speech?
Only an ignorant commie suck ass could claim that Disney is
"censoring" Moore by refusing to allow their assets and good name to
be used in the effort of promoting his crap. Moore is free to find
other outlets.
Perhaps Moore's jaundiced views of America haven't served him as
well as his commie suck ass idolators think they have.

Howzat, tubby? I think you need to look up the definition of
censorship. The definition doesn't hinge on "agreement[s]".
Matter of fact, zippy you probably ought to stick your fat head back
up your fat commie ass and see if you can find any evidence of any
"agreement" that Disney did "break the terms of", as you so lyingly
put it. When Miramax undertook the financing of Moore's suck ass
film, a year ago or more, Miramax was told then by Disney that they
would not be distributing the vile thing. It was in The Times,
scumbag. Read all about it.
>Miramax doesn't answer to Disney on
>distribution of films, as long as two criterion are met: the film
>isn't over budget (and Moore's wasn't) and it isn't rated NC-17.
Those are two criteria. Those aren't the only two criteria in the
formal contractual agreement between Miramax and its parent, as you
well know, but you're just another lying commie suck ass scumbag.
Right, zippy?

Here's a list of 297 film distributors *other* than Miramax. Why
not be a hero and phone the list in to commie suck ass Michael
Moore? See if any of *them* want to associate themselves with one
of capitalism's biggest haters.

I have no opinion about the Moore film until I see it. That is the whole

label something as propaganda before even seeing it.

Hopefully their contract with Moore provides large payments of cash to Moore
if they don't distribute his film, and that he can take it elsewhere and
make a more enlightened company buckets on the controversy of their
short-term minded competitor.

So? I have a restaurant. I refuse to sell shrimp. Do the shrimp
fisherman have cause to damn me to the press? (Maybe: Did I have
a contract with them that said I would sell shrimp?)
I make a turkey sandwich. I put mayonaise on it. Does Albertson's
have grounds to slander me for not using mustard? (Did I have a
contract with them that said I would put mustard on my sandwich?)
>First point is that I'm far more right wing than you could ever imagine.

If Moore really put "getting the message out" before "profit", you'd be
able to see it. It would go straight to video. You'd already be able
to buy it from Amazon or rent it from Blockbuster (unless BB also
decides not to carry it, in which case you can get it wherever you get
foreign films or other cult movies that BB doesn't carry.)
Or, wonder of wonders, he could distribute the movie himself. Sell
DVD's through a website. Or persuade independent film houses to screen
the movie. Or work out some other way to get the film distributed.
Anything would be preferable to crying "censorship." I don't think
Michael Moore knows what censorship would be like. He'd better just be
glad he's here now, and wasn't a filmmaker under Stalin. (Stalin
allowed quite a few movies to be made that were harshly critical of the
party. Soviet politics were *weird*.)
>That is the whole

This is more specifically, "free press". Wake me up when a government
entity directly forbids this work to be published or distributed.
Disney's tax considerations doesn't rise to the level. Get us to that
level, and I'll be front and center when we march on Washington.

Anybody who has touched the entertainment industry knows this, and knew
it before getting involved with Disney. Moore is not fooling anybody.
He saw this coming. He's milking the controversy for publicity.
It leads me to assume the film is weak.

Ok, I conceed they have the commercial right to show or not show the
film. I still think it is a form of censorship by Disney, and ultimately
a guttless and commercially wrong decision.
ex_cathedra
It's clear he's terrorizing the election.
I think these are his rights in a "war footing".
He has the right to be forced to wear womens panties and masturbate in
them and when he's done strip him naked and make him get on a man
pyramid with the film crew that made it with a sandbag on his head.
Oh yeah sodomize his butt then leave him handcuffed with his face in
Eisners crotch.
(And take pictures !)
I think people would pay to see that too!
Then call it an isolated incident and blame it on a couple of low

The problem is that sometimes people come
from a long distance to spend time at Disneyland and they weren't
fore-warned that there was going to be a bunch of flaming queers
playing grab-ass all over the place.
I'd have no problem with them if disney made enough public
announcements of this event to insure that people who didn't want to
witness it could alter their vacation plans accordingly.

There are no terms of agreement being broken. If that were th case,
Moore could sue.
This is clearly a case where Moore has made a movie that his
financiers do not approve of.
It's not censorship, it's laughable.

In this case, there was a contract to sell shrimp, so to speak.
Miramax has a contract with Moore, and the only grounds Disney has to
nullify the contract is if the film ran well over budget (which it
hasn't) or if it has an NC-17 rating.

Actually, they DON'T have that right in this case. Miramax has
semi-autonomy under Disney, and Disney's options on film contracts are
limited.

I think you need to look up the term, "contract", Sistah Soja.
Miramax is semi-autonomous (not Autonomouse), and as part of the
corporate merger agreement, Disney may stop distribution of a Miramax
film ONLY if the film is very much over budget, or if it receives an
NC-17 rating.
Chew on that, market boy.

<LOL> There goes the moron, Milt Shook, talking stupidly about
discrimination again when he apparently doesn't even know what the
word means.
So tell me, Milt, if my business discriminates against queer people by
refusing to hire their "maid service," should that be disallowed?
When I discriminated on the basis of gender by refusing to hire a male
physical therapist, should that have been disallowed?
BTW, just a fe days ago, the moron, Milt, argue that just because the
government doesn't prohibit something doesn't mean that they "allow"
it, and now he contradicts himself by using the word "allow" in th
very same context.
But then, Milt is the moron that claims that little pieces of paper
pay the cost of corporate taxes, not any people.

Nobody is forcing Disney to do anything.
It's censorship.
The first amendment says Disney can be criticized for censorship.

Common sense says you're either lying (again) or exhibiting your
usual incompetence (again).
Even the NY Times said that there were exceptions "like" the two
listed.
Otherwise, one would have to believe that the business agreement
between two world-class corporate giants, one of whom owns the
other, is less complicated than the agreement you signed for your
internet account.
Bets are that there is *at least* one other clause in the agreement:
one that expresses Disney's freedom to not be limited by any other
listed criteria, just as there is in almost every modern contract in
existence.
