When you think back to your childhood, especially the movies that made your little eyes go wide, you think Disney.
Even the toughest, most burly Alpha Male has fond memories of a Walt Disney feature – and Mickey and the gang, of course. They were cute, innocent and pure, just as Uncle Walt had envisioned – when he wasn’t hating Jews, that is.
Okay, so the Disney legacy has a few rough spots, I concede that point, but they’re responsible for creating some of the finest animated characters on the planet. I don’t think anyone can argue that point, right?
Well, maybe now they can…
Barneys New York is partnering with The House of Mouse for their festive holiday campaign – yes, its almost that time of year already – extravaganza. Photos and even a short film picture iconic characters like Daisy Duck walking the runway in designer clothing, but there have been a few tweaks added to our beloved friends – to say the least.
Just think what would happen if Vivid Video won the licensing rights to Disney’s character catalog and you’re on the right track… I don’t know what they had in mind with this look, but the folks at Barney’s need to take a cold shower.
Or ten.
I can only imagine the path my childhood would have taken had I been watching a Jenna Jameson/Daisy Duck hybrid for years. I know one thing, I would have gotten more action… Nah, who am I kidding?
But most kids would have. Bottom line: somebody messed up here – Big Time. I can’t wait to see their Valentine’s day campaign…

Jessica Rabbit will be feeling some competition now! (Should she worry about Roger straying? Will he duck out?)
“Duck out”? Hilarious!
Wow. That’s…inappropriate.
I know, right?
*facepalm*
How big of a dumbass are these people? I’m a grown woman all about sexuality… but I find nothing attractive about a sapling with a duckbill.
I wonder if I can sue the bastards for burning holes in my brain?
Give it a shot!
WTF? Nasty!
And what is even more disturbing is that there is some deviant sitting in their lounger who is nodding their head and saying “yeah, id tap that”. Yuck. Sorry middle of the night musings.
But you’re probably right…
Like it isn’t already hard enough to keep this kind of crap out of our kids faces! Surely there can be some things that are left for kids to be kids and remain innocent for as long as possible. After all, if we want them to see inappropriately dressed females using their bodies to get attention we could just turn on Mtv.
True enough…
Thanks for the post!!!
Thanks for the GREAT hop!!
