: I'm not joining any bandwagon with my distate for all things Disney. This has been a pet hatred of mine that I've honed to a fine, samurai-sword-like edge for many years now. I am no Johnny-Come-Lately to the Down with Disney Party.Rather, Kevin's particular beef with them gets added into my rolling list of crimes against the soul of Humanity, and slowly replacing entertainment with safer, less tasty synth-tainment. The CLERKS cartoon is merely one in a long list of sins that I will recount on that day when, Emil Zola-style, I stand before Eisner with a pointing finger and furious demeanor and intone,"Je accuse!"
It would actually be..."j'accuse!"
Sorry. My French is extremely poor, so what little I do know sticks in the brain. And I agree about Disney. When that fateful day arrives, make sure to add, "...and Isis says she's STILL not over 'Nothing Sacred' and 'My So-Called Life' getting my so-called shaft, and if this company releases any more animated movies in which historical events or classical works of fiction are rewritten with happy, child-appropriate endings starring Barbie-fied female characters featured in Burger King merchandise tie-ins, she is coming after you with a sawed-off shotgun and a high-wired cattle prod aimed at your most sensitive spot. Think of it as high risk gamble entertainment -- I like to call it, who wants to be a eunuch?"
Sing with all the colors of THAT wind, Mooby-idolators.

Will not be given a "Why I Love the Mouse" spot anytime soon.
