Found this one, I saved it for myself, cause it delivers such a strong message for this time, thought I'd post it here.

this is my edit

The images belongs to an article in regard to the torture scandals and the fact that the victims (prisoners unrightly detained) have no place to go to in order to receive justice for what is done to them.

2. Why does Mickey Mouse represent America?

IMO Disney now represents exactly the opposite. Maybe that's the point.

5. I don't know about that.

According to my cousin, Disneyland was originally conceived by Walt as a "wholesome" place for white Christian families to visit where they could get away from the "riffraff." Don't know if it's true, but I wouldn't be surprised.

7. Walt Disney was a rat for J Edgar Hoover

The irony of it. Walt co-operated fully in the McCarthy blacklisting campaign by turning over the names of employees suspected of being socialists or sympathisers.
