The Perverted Walt Disney Empire
BuzzKill:
There have long been concerns among some that Disney promotes the occult and child sex. There are many examples that are undeniable. Do you recall the outcry when a talking lion King toy said clear as day "Fuk me with a banana." ?

No disrespect, but corporations like Disney are well oiled machines which rely on a relatively small profit margin on an extremely large consumer base. Why would they jeopardize all of that and their own future stock options by putting "Fuk me with a banana" in their toys? Their target audience is still kids and they wouldn't even know what those words mean. There is no upside to doing that.
It would be exposed, the product would be recalled and everyone would lose. Wouldn't money be better placed by putting a few dollars towards a trip to southeast Asia if child sex gets you off?

Whootie,
I could believe that a bunch of R&D crack-ups put that language on a tape and shoved it in a bunch of toys, what a hoax.
:rofl: :rofl:
I don't believe it was a Company/Corporate conspiracy with political consequences.

Yep - thats just what happened.
As I recall the excuse was it didn't really say that; but that the comment was being misunderstood. Local DJz had a field day with it - playing it over and over and asking people to call in an say what they think it was saying. It was pretty clear. That said, people can misunderstand lyrics and sentences. Still, it was easy to hear those words and enough people heard it to make it a story on the nightly news.

Controversial audio here...
http://www.snopes.com/disney/audio/banana2.wav
And the Snopes article here...
http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/rafiki.asp
Excerpt: What RAfiki really says is "Asante sana" - Swahili for "Thank you very much" - followed by "squashed banana". As the phrases repeat over and over, they run together and produce something that does sound somewhat like "Squashed bananas up your arse".
Now if you REALLY want to get freaky, check out the cover of The Little Mermaid!!! Never have I seen such profanity - won't somebody think of the children??
