Not to be rude or anything, but you're wrong. Remember this is the company that had Pat Robertson frothing at the mouth, literally stating that natural disasters will hit Orlando because Disney wouldn't forbid Gay Day at Disneyworld. You can see his actual pronouncement here.
Also, as mentioned above, Disney provides health, etc. benefits to same-sex partners. |
Pardon, but do you really think providing health benefits to same sex partners is the same as suing some church group over (trivial) IP violations? Has it occured to you that Disney just might be providing the health benefits to show compassion to gay people, or even, G-d save the mark, to attract employees in a competitive marketplace, rather than as some kind of deliberate assault on the sensibilities of some christian churches?

"It’s a camp of laughter, a camp of fun.
For me, Gan Yisroel is the only one.
It’s a camp for me,
It’s a camp for you!
It’s a camp for every Jew.
It’s a great camp after all,
We will miss you in the fall.
It’s a great camp after all,
Our camp is Gan Yisroel!"

My point is that John is only upset because Christians (who he calls cultists) tried to influence his daughter with a familiar brand. He makes the point that they are infringing on copyright so that he can go after them for that influence. But there's nothing to stop those same Christians from wearing legit kids shirts and pants and everything while also holding a life-size cross on their backs. Wouldn't that have the same horrible ramifications for his daughter? |
1. You are not me. My motivations are my own, regardless of what you might interpret from the OP. I didn't mention my daughter in the OP because of the particular audience I'm speaking to - if I were at the SDMB, for example, the OP would likely be different as the audience composition is different. (More adults with children at the SDMB is one obvious example.)
2. To answer your question, no, it would not. Sophie recognizes and is attracted to "The Incredibles." People using that specific imagery to attract children to their pet causes know exactly what they're doing - else why not come up with their own cartoons?
3. That should read "a familiar, stolen, brand."
Please note that we named the child "Sophia", which means "wisdom" in the original Greek. This wasn't done by mistake - we wanted a common first name, not Christian, that meant something that was important to us. If we wanted to help her be susceptable to supernatural bullshit, we would've called her "Mysticia" or something.
We didn't fully escape the Christian heritage in her middle name, "Caroline", which to many people refers to carols. However, we found references to old-English definitions of "Caroline" as "joyful song", which to us was perfect: Wisdom, joy, and music is the foundation of our childs name, not gullibility, backwardness, and mysticism.

Does this mean I can report anyone here on Apolyton who has a copywrited image for their avatar to the respective companies, 
seeing as how it can be argued that their posting could not be considered 'educational or journalistic'. (not that I am singling anyone out)
You evil theiving bastard! I can't wait to see Lucus come and sue your shul you evil bastard. How dare you promote something as filthy as religion - any religion. You and your kind should be stamped out.
