Mickey's Calls For Murder and Torture
@ Thu 4 January 2007 11:12 AM HKT by Tom LeggSo what sort of business has the SAR government attracted to Hong Kong with the joint venture of Disneyland Hong Kong? Apparently a business that uses legal heavyweights to defend the advertising revenue paying for radio airtime to call for torture and murder.
Dear Ms. Clark:
Thanks to radio hosts from KSFO your brand is being associated with torturing and killing people. Would your marketing people be happy to hear your commercial ran after Lee Rogers said this about a black man in Lincoln, Nebraska?
"Now you start with the Sear's Diehard the battery cables connected to his testi*les and you entertain him with that for awhile and then you blow his bleeping head off. " (Audio link)
You should know the person calling for the execution and torture of the black man in that clip READS THE AT&T commercials on the air. Right now on KSFO Lee Rogers is THE VOICE of AT&T to the SF Bay area. (Audio Link)
Sadly, calling for the death and torture of individuals and groups of people is a regular occurrence on KSFO 560 AM, owned by ABC Radio Disney.
Another example: immediately after the 6 am ABC Radio news on October 27th:
Lee Rogers: I say they catch the person, tie 'em to a post and burn 'em. Set 'em on fire.
Officer Vic: Yeah.
Lee Rogers: Let 'em know what it feels like.
Melanie Morgan: Hog tie 'em first. That would be good.
Next, Lee Rogers talks about a protester at a Cindy Sheehan event:
"Whoever did that should have been stomped to death right there. Just stomp their bleeping guts out." (Audio link).
Within three minutes they called for someone to be burned alive and a protester to be stomped to death. If you dismissed the first clip as a "joke", note that in this clip they were clearly not joking:
Melanie Morgan famously called for Bill Keller of the New York Times (and nine editors from other papers) to be hanged. (Audio link)
On Nov. 14th Melanie Morgan said this about Nancy Pelosi:
"We've got a bulls-eye painted on her big laughing eyes." (Audio link)
Sadly, the audio links and the blog of the individual documenting these outrageous calls to violence are gone due to the legal intimidation of Disney. Disney prefers to silence their critics and keep people ignorant of their business practices in order to maintain their "wholesome family marketing image" than they are in actually maintaining business practices that live up to their "wholesome family marketing image".
UPDATE 6:00pm 5 January 2007

end update
Just as the SAR government has major problems catching the folks making death threats and other "beat, smash, loot" tactics against the pan-democratic political opposition here, their business partners from the US make money from employees making those same calls to violence against their political opposition.
