F.A.R.F.U.R M.O.U.S.E, Farfur Mouse, Farfur Mouse.
Okay, I was going to try to stay out of this wide spread Internet discussion. But now the LA Times is calling for Disney`s lawyers to attack Hamas` Al Aqsa TV`s Tomorrow`s Pioneers, kids` television show. Just how smart is that?
Disney can`t stop the Chinese from ripping off Disneyland and China is a nation, they are in one place, Disney knows were to find them, so how is Disney and their lawyers going to stop a somewhat rouge organization that often responds to criticism with guns and bombs? That has got to be going though the minds of the people in the Disney boardroom. They don`t play the copyright game.
Highjacking Mickey Mouse, the icon of all that is Western and capitalistic with a million, million images already in place and using him in the indoctrination of children, shows an understanding of media that is cold ruthless genius. It is an attack through the media as well as an attack on the minds of their own children. The end justifies . . .
How can anybody hope to deal with this kind of ruthlessness with a mere lawyer? Easier to stab the wind. They, the Arab World, the Palestinians, Hamas, the people who have been set up to play villain in this current world Sanrio, can not deal with the Western might in a one on one exchange of force and the Western mindset can`t seem to come to terms with any other course of action.
In the winter of 1972 I was in the old city of Jerusalem with Peter, my roommate from the Kibbutz. Through a long and very strange course of events we became friends with Ali, the owner of an up scale store in the old city. Ali invited us to his store/home near Lion`s gate for coffee one Sabbath morning. One thing came to another and the discussion turned to the Palestinian question.
Peter, who was Jewish, and orphan, and was immigrating to Israel after being severely wounded in Vietnam said My people have no home, for 2,000 years we have roamed the world. At last I have come home, we have come home. No one will take that from me.
Ali, who I later learned was into some very heavy stuff, said My father owned this land, his father before him and his father`s father`s father before him. I will fight to my last drop of blood for my land.
Me, the goy in the middle, looked back and forth between my two friends and marveled that they had both just calmly stated that they would kill each other. I drank my coffee and knew that this would never be over.
I am not arguing that using Mickey Mouse to teach children to be terrorists is not the most insidious form of evil but realize Mickey was already in this war for the minds of children as the icon of all that is the West. Remaking children in our own image is alway the ego sin of all adults.
