so i was watching tv the other day and a commercial for the disney atlantis resort came on. In the background i hear the song from Juno "anyone else but you" - i can't tell if it's exactly the same lyrics or a modified version, but for some reason this bothers me.
here's a resort that's family oriented - it's DISNEY for crying out loud- and they're playing a song from a movie about teenage pregnancy.
now don't get me wrong. I love Juno. I thought it was a GREAT movie. I laughed, I cried, it holds a special place in my heart. (obviously for me to have recognized the song, duhr) But as a parent it irks me that Disney is using the song to promote their shit.
I'm not dumb or naive enough to think that watching a movie about teen pregnancy is going to make a teenager think "Gee, I think I'll go have a baby and give it to a really sweet couple"
but something about Disney using it to promote VACATIONs wants me to punch a hole in the wall.
btw- job is going good, just finished my 2nd week. i even got paid today!
