Please email Disney - it'll take two seconds
Remember "Stupid White Men" was gonna be pulped by the publisher because it was too controversial after 9/11, and a bunch of librarians made such a huge fuss that they released it?
Well, time to cause a fuss. (it'll take two seconds - see below)
Disney Forbidding Distribution of Film That Criticizes Bush (New York Times)
From Michael Moore's site:
Yesterday I was told that Disney, the studio that owns Miramax, has officially decided to prohibit our producer, Miramax, from distributing my new film, "Fahrenheit 911." The reason? According to today's (May 5) New York Times, it might "endanger" millions of dollars of tax breaks Disney receives from the state of Florida because the film will "anger" the Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush.
We all know that it was public outcry that saved Stupid White Men. I've just emailed Disney telling him that I'm cancelling my plans to hold our big family reunion at Disney World this year (bullshit, of course) because of this. Also that I will no longer buy Disney products for my nieces (well, I never did. But they don't have to know that.)
The only things Disney responds to are cash and bad press. If enough people complain they'll back off. Please consider being one of the voices.
