One of the heros is Gil, obviously a reference to the anti-American leutenant in the movie Platoon- obviously a pro-Kerry and hence anti-American statement.

Then there is Jaques, the french shrimp- very sneaky putting in what seems like an anti-French slur, but hey, Jacque is also a hero, and hence anti-American.

Finally, anyone note how there were no bald eagles? How can we allow such slurs?

I think the horse movie he refers to is probably "Home on the Range" (?) one of the heros besides the cows was Buck the horse.

Bloggosphere clearly indicates that Spirit was NOT a Disney film.

Wait let me confer with CBS on that for a sec......


Nope they say it was and have documents proving it.

If finding Nemo can be seen as anti-american, what about music artists!


Hmmm......Rage Against the Machine are probably in gauntanamo - thats why they haven't done an album for a while (their lyrics probably contravine the Patriot act?)

Well, If you note, Nemo wasn't a Disney pic either..hence, we are talking about what Ned classifies as Disney pics- given his track record, I think it is a safe bet to say it was spirit, since that is aboput a horse, not just featuring a horse.

See, this is what happens when you rely on the bloggosphere instead of delving into the material.

so do many bad books? The point is not linking to sources, its linking to good and relevant and credible source plus good analysis.

gods, if someone thinks "Finding Nemo" was anti-American then they should watch the sequel to the great Japanese movie "Battle Royale". And yes, I am saying that because they'd probably have a heart attack and die on the spot!

Thankfully, the bloggospehre remains a minor and relative unimportant echo chmaber with little relevance to the populace as a whole. Much like Holocaust deniers, moon landing conspiracy people and Scientologists.

Nope. I can check the NYT, WaPo myself. THe most interesting blogs have links to obscure stuff - the Pakistani press, or some obscure magazine. I will judge the reliability of the source myself. Though if its an area im not familiar with it certainly helps to have a judgement about the source.

For something like the producer of a movie, its easy to find a reliable and neutral link. Id have to see the blog page Ned was quoting from to see what the issue was.
