Disney and Its Hideout : Hypocrisy

Disney hired Victor Salva, a convicted child molester, to direct its movie Powder. When Salva's victim, Nathan Winters, then 20, publicized the hiring, some of the police officers who investigated the 1987 molestation were incredulous that Salva was working again as a movie director. "It just blows me away," said Officer Gary Primavera. "He has serious signs of still being a pedophile." One Disney official, John Dreyer, refused to respond to Winter's demand that Disney fire Salva, saying, "What's the point other than you want to make headlines?"
That's compassion for you. Continuing to be employed with Disney money, Salva has made "Jeepers Creepers" and "Jeepers Creepers 2" (2004) which he wrote and directed. With his history in mind, watching the movies with their undercurrents and teen boys is creepy.

Newsweek reported that in 1996, Disney considered buying Ripe, a movie about the deflowering of 14-year-old twins. Bad publicity was all that stopped the deal from being made.

In 1995, Disney-owned Miramax released the homosexual movie, "Lie Down With Dogs". Great book, horrible movie. Seems Disney just wanted to make a "gay" movie to be hip and get in the gay market. The reviews written about it at Amazon.com are better than the torture of the film.

Kids (Miramax) was described by Variety magazine as "one of the most controversial American movies ever made." According to Newsweek, "The film follows a number of barely pubescent-looking boys and girls around New York City as they smoke pot, bait gays, beat a black man and engage in graphic sex. "Under pressure Miramax formed an independent company to market and distribute the pornographic movie." (Daily Variety, 1/27/95; Newsweek, 2/20/95; Wall Street Journal, 3/30/95; Associated Press, 6/29/95)

Priest, another Miramax release, depicts five Catholic priests as perverts and blames their perversion on Church teachings. One priest is homosexual-as-pervert; a second an adulterer; a third an alcoholic; a fourth demented; and the fifth just plain mean and vicious. This was such an alarming and sick movie that the gay newspaper The Advocate reported it under the heading "Family Alert Issues" 3/10/95, 4/4/95, 4/18/95;

When Disney's Hollywood Records released an album by the band Sacred Reich, they sent thousands of marijuana bongs to radio stations as an advertising ploy to get them to play the record. Yet DIsney claims a staunch and rabidly anti-drug stance.


Glen Danzig and his band of the same name was picked and groomed by Disney to be a kind of Disney-exclusive money making rock machine, much as today's hand-picked-and-groomed "Boy Bands" ala N'Sync and Backstreet Boys. Danzig, to hear him tell, is a self-proclaimed Satanist and sang about suicide, self-mutilation, sex with demons, and rape. The band once made a video called, "It's Coming Down" with scenes of sadomasochism, masturbation and genital mutilation. MTV found it so offensive they refused to air it. Danzig also starred in a Disney made movie, Prophecy II (it's hysterically bad..if you need a laff, go rent it). When questioned about this hardcore "talent" and nefarious past, Disney said Danzig was "harmless, simply misunderstood". They saw Glen's "message" as behavior as some rock-theater-clowning. Danzig fans would disagree and so it would appear that Danzig's band and lifestyle was pretty hard core and serious. Yet there he was making weenie-*** Disney Movies...so who's scamming who?

Bands signed by Disney owned and funded Hollywood Records include(d):

Human Waste Product - who sing about sex with the Virgin Mary while calling Her a "whore".

NY Loose - whose main theme in their songs is suicide. Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among 15-24 year olds. Wholesome Disney family fun.

Seaweed - whose hit song was called "Drug Free Zone". The promo literature put out by the company quoted the lead singer as saying he did "so much cocaine my nose exploded into a bloody mess and I had to have plastic surgery. That was a pretty good one". This upset a lot of radio people (and parents) and who knew the age group who was reading this stuff.

Death Row Records and Interscope Records was acquired by Disney in 1997. The main fodder of these two companies is "gangsta rap", your basic misogynist, violent "black" music ALA Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre. The Wall Street Journal reported that the FBI was investigating Death Row Records for gun and drug trafficking, and money laundering. In spite of this investigation, Disney Boss Michael Eisner offered Interscope's Tom Whalley a multimillion dollar contract to take over Hollywood Records. Whalley declined.

In 1989 Disney became a partner, and the one to own the largest % of shares in, Viewer's Choice "Hot Choice" - a leader in Pay-Per-View cable soft porn. Until Disney showed up, Viewer's Choice had only played action films and comedies. The profits were decent but Disney wanted better, and decided to launch the "soft porn" division in 1993. To develop original programming for their creation, Disney offered porn star Becky LeBeau a $7-figure deal and share of the profits. She appeared in many films herself and hosted an all-nude modeling program which showed explicit footage if women, some as young as 18. Disney also signed the infamous and famous Marilyn Chambers, a veteran hard core porn star, to an exclusive multi-project deal a year after she won the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the Adult Video Association.

Viewer's Choice has an exclusive contract with a production company for a series called, "American Stripper On Tour". The film crew visits all-nude strip joints around the country.

Bottom line?

Disney owns the largest percentage, as a partner, in the biggest company in the soft-to-medium porn market.
Disney owns many of the huge record labels producing the very bands and topics the "Parental Advisory" label was created for - bands that glorify rape, drugs, murder, hate, racism, violence against women, violence, period
Disney owns many of the huge movie studios producing some of the most outrageous crap yet to be made. You won't find any mention of those details as they push their Family Friendly, Pro-Family, Pro-Mom&Dad, Pro-Happy Safe Healthy Children Agenda though. As one insider said, "The New Disney will do just about anything to make a buck".
Can you feel the Disney Magic?

My say:
It's not that it is not okay to be "not okay" with all these crap. The question is; what makes you think it's okay to be "open-mided" with these crap. They made you think it is okay, yes?
We do have faith still, don't we?
