Disney impersonator violation!
October 21st, 2009
I can’t stand it when people pretend to be Disney characters without official company permission. Just look at this:
Who does this guy think he’s fooling? He’s supposed to either be a character of High School Musical (even though he’s too young) or someone from Disney World’s “Hall of Presidents” (even though, despite the hat, his clothing is completely unlike anything worn by this country’s founding fathers). Even worse, he’s posing for a photograph with a friendly pirate (whose face I’ve blurred to protect his anonymity) who’s probably in town to see the sights and thinks that he’s having his picture taken with an actual Disney celebrity!
The shame of it all! Where are this child’s parents? Out picking pockets in the crowd?? If you happen to see him inserting himself into Disney’s copyright space, be sure to contact Child Protective Services immediately!!!
Fairy violation?
October 20th, 2009
Somebody get this guy a shirt before Disney sues the pants off him. And while you’re at it, I think I need some new eyeballs (shudder).

Naughty Cars violation?
October 19th, 2009
From the May 18, 2009, edition of The Daily Show — a horrible, disgusting, inappropriate, and terribly anatomically inacurate misuse of characters from that Pixar classic, Cars!
Now, I love John Steward as much as the next person — his hard-biting style of rogue journalism is exactly what this country needs at times — but he has certainly gone too far in this case. Are children really supposed to believe that this is where small cars come from? The shame!
Family Guy violation?
October 18th, 2009
I recently watched a few episodes of the show Family Guy at the recommendation of several television commercials. You can imagine my skull-crushing shock when I came upon the following image in the episode titled, “A Picture is Worth 1,000 Bucks”:
That’s right, it’s Walt Disney — the man, they legend, the genius, the copyright holder — himself, depicted drawing a young, saucy-looking Minnie Mouse! Now that is just not right (and if you watch the episode, which you shouldn’t, it gets even not righter — or so I’ve heard, in that I was not able to finish the episode, what with a table lamp having been thrown through the television screen in a moment of horrified desire to remove the offending image from my field of vision).
I certainly hope that this is an isolated incident in the annals of Famiy Guy copyright blasphemy. (If not, let me know in the comments and I will cry bitter tears of sorrow before posting what I can find of the offending images.)
Finger violation?
October 17th, 2009
Look at what I found at a fair in Los Angeles — Disney copyright violating finger puppets! There’s Chicken Little, Ms. Incredible, Shrek, and a cow — all blatantly Disney characters! Spider-Man will very soon be added to Disney’s list, and the last one in black — whomever he is, we’re sure intellectual property rights to him will soon be owned by Disney as well! I pinned them into this collector’s box to prevent their escaping into innocent hands.
Although I was unable to pin down the author of this travesty, I did find the following image on a Web site (although I can’t seem to figure out which one — its name escapes me. If there was only some way to tell from the image!)
I definitely see Mickey, Minnie, Pooh, and many of their barnyard friends in there. Oh, the shame of it all! And intended to be used on some unknowing child’s finger!!!
Snow White and the 7 violations?
October 16th, 2009
This image, apparently from an Australian beer ad, is the most horribly distasteful and disrespectful thing I’ve seen since that awful “Little Mermaid” tuna advertisement of years ago. Not only is Snow White smoking and sharing a bed with seven grown men, but the bed is horribly inaccurate — Snow White couldn’t have fit so comfortably in a real dwarf bed!
You can read an article about this travesty on Slashfood.
Mary and Alice violations?
October 1st, 2009
The Consumerist Web site has an article about requests for a prostitution Web site to be shut down, and they chose to illustrate it with this photo of what a Jungle Cruise skipper might call “the back side of Mary and Alice.”
That is not only wrong, it’s slanderous! And poor little Alice — she’s underage! Is the Consumerist’s photography being chosen by Roman Polanski these days? The shame!
