Boycott Disney...
If what Michael Moore says in this story in The Guardian is true, then Fahrenheit 9/1 is a movie that should be seen by every registered voter in America. Immediately.
That Disney is behaving in an absolutely chickenshit manner, after having funded this film through its production via Miramax, is ridiculous. And the reasons are so transparent. Disney receives major tax breaks in Florida. Florida, the same state governored by the president's brother. Ooh -- can't piss off ol' Jeb. Otherwise, the gigantic multi-billion dollar corporation might have to pay one fraction of its fair share in taxes.
Well, fuck that. Let's show them the real cost of playing politics. Don't go to Disneyland. Don't watch ABC programming (or KCAL-9, if you're in LA.) Don't see films distributed by any of their companies -- Disney, Miramax, Buena Vista, Hollywood Pictures. Keep your cash out of Mickey's three-fingered hands until they realize holding back this movie will cost them more than any loss of tax loopholes in Florida.
And -- for more Disney-related boycott targets, check it out here. Finally, WRITE A LETTER. Michael Eisener, c/o The Walt Disney Company, 500 South Buena Vista Street, Burbank, CA 91521. Call them at 818.560.1000 or fax them at 818.840.5737.
And nudge Florida proper -- make a phone call to Walt Disney World Media relations: Michelle Baumann at 407.397.6397.
The basic idea is to convince these bozos that it will cost them more to withhold this film than it will to release it. And, face it -- with the W caused price of gas, do you really want to drive miles out of your way to one of their friggin' theme parks or movies when there are just soooo many alternatives?
Fuck the Mouse! Michael Moore's movie deserves to be seen...
