Disney Copyright Violations?

For those of you who have always wondered what Tinker Bell would look like after an unfortunate encounter with a steamroller, here’s your chance!

Now normally I would say that the worst thing about this horrible distortion of a beloved Disney character — and even those who think that Tink is a bit overexposed at the moment will agree that she is beloved — is that it might inspire some impressionable youngster to experiment with crushing a fairy or someone with the resemblance to a fairy, leading to life-warping trauma and buckets of unquenchable tears. But in this case, there is a fact that is even more horrible than the eye-gouging pain of Tink elongated: the fact that this particular violation of all that is holy in the Disney copyright pantheon was found being offered for sale in — wait for it… — Downtown Disney!

As Marlon Brando said, “The horror — the horror!”

Who’s to say what’s obscene? I am — that’s an obscene violation of Disney’s copyright (and it’s such a serious violation that just printing it out and staring it it makes me blush!)

And if you really need to know, I discovered this horror on Boing Boing.
