It was obviously satire from the fourth paragraph in, for Christ's sake. It couldn't be anything else, with gems like

quote:
But that's a very narrow view of the film, according to Focus on the Family founder Dr. James C. Dobson, who called the film an "anti-bigotry love fest" which aims to "brainwash our children" and "promote tolerance, acceptance, peace, and the liberal agenda."


and ESPECIALLY

quote:
A message from Dobson on the Focus on the Family website warns parents that exposure to this film could cause their children to become Homosexual Muslim "tigger-lovers".


Not even all that funny.

Wow to think people got all of this out of one cartoon. I guess the next one to come out like the little mermaid will promote things like sex and vixens etc since we all know the little mermaid was a horny chick chasing a guy. hey by the way wasnt dumbo the same colors?

I agree, that was pretty obviously satirical. Kuci pointed out the major evidence of it already though. I'd just like to say: you rubes.

No, that was aneeshm I think. This one is much better. Only the first sentence you quoted was really out of place. "tigger-lovers" was the subtle clue which has to be in any piece of satire, and it passes because it's also really funny.

Why is tigger-lovers the clue? I wouldn't have figured it out until the last two paragraphs.

See, the problem with this was...

it's just... not funny.

I mean, satire can be good if it's funny. But this wasn't funny. So...

I didn't actually read it until someone said it was satire, but it seems that one would not be sure is was fake until the last couple paragraphs, but have more doubt about it as they read.

it's a bad poly habit. I usually read the first few paragraphs, and maybe, just maybe skim the rest. Unless I find the subject interesting, then I will ready the entire thing closely.

Substitute a "n" for the "t". The reason why this is a clue is that there are no well known American religious figures left who are stupid enough to use the "n" word in public. They've all moved on to hating gays and the French.
