I’ll settle for that…

If you go to Disney, try to find ways to cost them money. Don’t steal, but you could be clumsy and break something expensive….something made by slave labor in China preferably.
Be creative.

And your daughter shouldn’t be watching crap like Cinderella anyway….it makes adulthood much harder. And Bambi is just a f*cking sadistic movie that kills a MOTHER! I had nightmares for weeks when I was a child. Same with Dumbo.

Let us know what you decide and what if anything you accidentally destroy.

He could have refused the role if he felt it was wrong, but he didn’t. He took money for being complicit in promoting Bush’s lies.
