 Posted: Wed May 04, 2005 2:11 pm Post subject: Aladdin in Opus |
 |
|
"Aladdin" was in Opus in the Sunday comics. (At least for the Philadelphia Inquirer.) They made him evil, but oh well.  I don't have a camera, but here's what happened:
Old Guy with boxers on: (to Opus, who is in PJ's right outside of his room) It's 3 AM. Go back to bed.
Opus: There's a bunch of DISNEY folks in my room.
Old guy: Disney? Oh, NOT your anxiety closet...
Opus: I definitely think things have been getting a little off-track at Walt's place lately. These guys are polarized! Disconnected! ...Adrift and losing their sense of shared community...
Old guy: LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHING! WHERE DISNEY GOES, AMERICA GOES! DISNEY IS AMERICA!! You think this country is off-track?
Opus: Uh...
Old Guy: NOW GET BACK TO THE HAPPY KINGDOM!!
Opus: But... But... But...
(Opus goes back into his room, where we see Aladdin dressed in his purple vest and white pants with terrorist weapons and one of those cloth things on his face. Jasmine is dresses in a dark blue gown with her face totally covered like a modern middle-eastern woman. Timon is dangling Jiminy Cricket in front of Pumbaa, who is licking his lips. Mary Poppins is holding out a dish with meat on it in one hand, and Donald Duck's hat in the other, as if it was the dish's lid.)
Aladdin: QUICK, JASMINE! GRAB THE TUBBY INFIDEL! BACK TO BAGHDAD!
Opus: No, Aladdin!
Jasmine: I'm driving the carpet or no more peekin' under the burka.
Mary Poppins: Snacktime! Donald Duck Foie Gras!

Someone I know on another site scanned it in for me - I'll have to bring it here later. A lot of people that I've talked to about it thought the Aladdin stuff was very prejudiced and mean.

Yeah, IMO, that's much more racist than anything in the movie. 
Yeah, if someone could scan that? We don't get that comic here... |

....wtf?!1 And of course Aladdin had to be the focus at a time like this That sorta reminds me of something that happened to me a few days ago:
[guy sees me sketching Aladdin]
Dude: Hey, did you know Aladdin is a terrorist?
Me: If he's a terrorist, he can terrorize me all he wants *grins and wiggles eyebrows*
Dude:.......you're sick in the head!
Me: Just a little  |

LOL. I actually thought the "burka" thing was funny, but Aladdin as a terrorist and the whole desperate leftist thing made me sick.
Hee hee. Burka.
