I am baffled by the continuous plugs for Disney on boingboing. Disney lobbied heavily for the Copyright Term Extension Act, which dramatically extended copyright limits and robbed the public domain of so much great 20th Century creative work. Disney merchandise has been consistently produced in sweatshops with egregiously poor working conditions, even for sweatshops. Working conditions in their parks are also notoriously bad. Their portrayal of gender roles is archaic at best. While bb does occasionally report on the darker side of this media/resort giant, it seems like much more often they’re shilling for Mickey.
What’s up boingboing? Am I missing something?
