OK. It seems that Disney, at this moment, is unwilling to aggressive deal with the problems that are discussed in these threads: Open gay expression (ie, sex) and sweat shops in China that are producing Disney Products.
So, who here has the fortitude to stop buying Disney products and going to their movies (including renting them).
Yes or No. No maybe's!!! If you are undecided, then think about it. |

I don't know much about the sweatshop labor, I need more info. |

Have you seen the open acts that were being committed by them in a public place? Hopefully, if Disney does nothing to stop this and continues to have "gay" day, then I just can't support them. If someone were doing this on a normal day without a group of supporters around, I have no doubt that my behind would be in jail. Why did they get "special" treatment? |

It's high quality stuff and I can sleep better at night.
I also avoid Monsanto products and I refuse to shop at Wal-Mart.
I'm a strange person.

LOL - that's probably true!
tulc - their sizes go up to XX-Large. I'm a fairly big man (6 ft, 250lbs) but they don't have any sizes bigger than that.

Reps: 26 (power: 0) | | | Well, well ,well, how nice it must be to be able to expose everything in public and get away with it because you're gay. How very special that is when a mother gets kicked out of a mall for breast-feeding her baby because it "offends" people, but this ABOMINATION doesn't? And if it does offend people, well we should just shut-up and let the liberals take over right? I have no problem boycotting Disney, same as Disney has no problem offending the he@# out of people. Seriously, would it be ok for a bunch of straight people to run around half naked in a FAMILY THEME PARK and promote sex? I doubt it. | | |
