I got the best laugh yesterday when I heard that Hank Williams Jr got his song pulled from the Monday Night Football program.

He made a few comments about the prez....

Now, I don't agree with what he said, but he really does have the right to say what he wants.

No, it does not have anything to do with the 1st amendment and the government, any company can can you if they believe you are not acting in THEIR best interest.........

BUT, ESPN/DISNEY promote probably one of the most violent sports and possibly the highest percentage of alleged and proven criminals.

Kinda funny when the 'company' says you can't say things that really show what an idiot you are, then promote a product where some of the performers are a smidge away from being full blown criminals/convicts.

So much for the family of values....

Disney is the biggest bunch of hard*** beestards about protecting their trademarks/copyrights (or at least they were in the Eisner era). BUT...anything that's a pop culture icon like that can easily be co-opted into the public sector, so I guess I can't blame them.

They put on a great show, though. But the Hank Williams Jr. thing does seem a bit hypocritical IMO.

There was a kindercare business that painted a mural on a wall and disney went all out to get them to cover them over...

That and there was a show on NPR where they spoke about Disney's use of interns to cut costs within the company.

At the millenium Disney spoke about putting all the old movies into 'retirement' and they sold DVDs that were the last chance for the public to own the original films.

Now it's blu-ray and 3-d special editions....

It's a BIG problem in FLA.

I think it's time for the state to correct it's shortcomings.
