Mickey is bad

[IllustriousPotentate]

This is just wrong.

I would post a snippet of the article, but I keep getting "You have attempted to post illegal text."

How about this

"A Mickey Mouse look-alike named Farfur is teaching Palestinian children the ABCs of terror on Hamas' official television station, Al-Aqsa TV."

I'm not really surprised though.

Wow, this is very...depressing. I can't believe that they're using children's programming to grow future terrorists! Also, I found a video of it on youtube.

Well, I guess the only way we can fight back is to make a show on Disney channel telling kids about brainwashing other Americans and that you don't need to be smart to rule a country.

I can see why it's contraversial... but I'm gonna downplay it because we had done the same thing in WWII.

Two Christmas'es ago-- I got a Mickey Mouse collection from the WWII era. Talk about propoganda.

And obviously Germany had it's Hitler Youth at the same time.

It's sad... but, there can't be anything be done by us. Parents are first in line to control what they watch on TV.

Mmmm-- I sort of tend to be a negative person and as fucked up this sounds, I can take solace that these kids are at least having some sort of childhood in a country torn up by violence.

You eradicate the Jews and their Zionist schemes?

"Your Howitzer is the answer to the Nips expansionist ways"?

Propaganda? Is a double-edged sword.

When does innocence involve AK-47s and nursery rhymes?

nah--
but these DVDs had Donald fighting stereotyped Nazis...
Donald fantasizes about being a Nazi for a day...
and I think there was a goofy one too. It featured mostly Donald.

I also own a VHS of Daffy Nazi propoganda-- in it, he kisses Hitler before crushing him with a mallet. (At least, that's how I remember it.)

Not saying it's a good thing.
But at least they're having something.

True, we did put out some heavy stuff during WWII..

I think 'nothing' would be a better alternative to that. Instead of encouraging discussion about Israel right to exist, it directly appeals to God/their government/violence.

Kids shouldn't have to worry about that, not over something as trivial as Israel.

But if they do, and it's fully within their right to do so, then they shouldn't expect any more humane tactics from their "enemies".

South Park did an almost frame-for-frame parody of an old Bugs Bunny Anti-Nazi propaganda cartoon with Cartman and Osama as the Bugs and Hitler characters.

The episode is incredibly absurd if you don't catch the reference. It is, however, scathingly satirical and incredibly funny if you do. I'm sure you could find it on YouTube or something.... but I'm lazy and it's late.

Nothing wrong with anti nazi propaganda.... cause its like saying, genocide is bad.

[troubles1]

O COME ON PEOPLE , Now we all know that Islam is a Religion of peace and that it's followers would never use Mickey in a way to support terrorist's.

[TheSovereign]

BOOHOO!!!

[sean5892]

Hmmm... If we got OUR mickey to suddenly start teaching them good things...

Does that mean the children will possibly listen? Are the terrorists opening themselves up to something?

[Korriken]

We better bring G.I. Joe back on the air to teach our children to defend the american way. Because, you know, "Knowing is half the battle"

Maybe they could hire Farfour to teach children that the plural of "terrorist" isn't "terrorist's".

WHO? And are you joking or trying to give a grammar lesson? if so you might want to try and get a official language passed , because as it is we even have collage course's teaching people to speak Ebonics. but seriously, Farfour WHO?

Farfour (or Farfur, there's not a single correct transliteration), is the Arab name of Jihad Mickey. Read the FOX News article.

[joquim]

this is one the dumbest things I have ever heard or seen in my life. So dumb that I don’t even feel like commenting on it

[TehBoss]

You know, nobody gives a shit about mikey-mouse, it wont be much of a problem now that more people watch south-park. Mickey's gay, he went to hell, nobody likes him anymore. And riligous people are all into those wired ass TV shows. We must only worry for the kids(Mcikey's cartoons aren't that bad though, like the tugboat one).

[djstaz0ne]

hahahaha lmfao, thats sum funny shit, a militant mickey mouse...
