Family Guy violation?
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.)
Yeah…. this and most other things like it on this site are not copyright violation as they are sattire, which is protected under copyright law. It’s fun to see these things all in one place, but home made costumes and cakes do not violate copyright as they are for personnal use, even cakes made at bakeries are not violations if they have been commsioned by a customer.
Perhaps a different name for the site is in order.
If this site was in any way seriously searching for Disney copyright violations (instead of just being over-the-top disturbed by such things), I might consider a name change. As it is, I’m happy with the way things are!
(I’m kind of dubious about the “bakeries are not violations if they have been commissioned” thing, though. Really? Can I commission a Mickey Mouse mural? A house that looks like Space Mountain? A clone of Michael Eisner?)
It was funny you need to calm down, who cares, Walt disney was a horrible person anyway!!! =)
lol Disney sucks. aggressive company who is excessively obsessed with their copyright. and they churn out huge loads of crap too. but Walt Disney did in one way or another contribute to the development of early animation, so don’t put the blame on him
you suck! disney is awesome!
Are you people serious? You can’t tell this entire blog is making fun of the disney copyright issue?
THIS ENTIRE BLOG is one big bit of satire.
Shaking my head…
