Another Example Of Corporate Ethics

This news item today from KTLA via the wonderful Fark.com. Yet another example of corporate ethics:
------------------------
ANAHEIM -- Disneyland management has fired the four actors who played pirate Jack Sparrow because officials were worried about young female park-goers flashing the swashbuckling actors late at night, according to one former cast member.

"They lost control when they saw Jack Sparrow," said former pirate Brandon Pinto, who left the role after a dispute with management a year ago. "This is a sexy, rock-star pirate."

The pirate actors said they were told they were no longer needed for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride at about the same time that additional fairies were added to the park's cast, presumably to promote Disney's new movie "Tinkerbell."

Disneyland recently opened "Pixie Hollow" to capitalize on the new movie.

Disney denies that they pirates were replaced by Tinker Bell fairies.

-----------------------------

OF COURSE! Why admit that you replaced the "Rock Star" flashible pirate with four scantily clad "fairies". That would only make you look like money grubbing hypocrites! OOPS Too Late!

The above picture of Sparrow was lifted right from the KTLA page, while the illustration of Tinkerbell was Googled and reported to be the artwork gracing a kiddie blanket. Both are copyright (c) 2008 The Disney Corporation who are solely responsible for their content. Personally I like cheesecake and some soft porn, I just don't think I'd want my daughter sleeping underneath it (good thing Tink's slipper was where it is...)

WAKE UP!
