(1) There's actually such a thing as "U.S. special envoy to the Arctic"? Is Yodenheim in that diplomatic portfolio?
....and (2) the dipstick who holds this ridiculous post is named....Robert Papp?
You just can't make this, well, "papp" up:
Papp recalled seeing hundreds of children watching Frozen and how he was given the suggestion of how the government “might employ Disney to come up with some public service announcements… to tell the story of the Arctic” to kids.
IOW, to tell the lie of how it's flashing into steam when it's actually becoming....well, frozen.
And so Papp spoke with an executive at Disney about this very idea. The Disney exec had a very “perplexed” reaction and apparently told Papp they’re in the business of “optimism and happy endings.”
....and, you know, being obvious about depicting fantasy.
Seriously, what does "Admiral Papp" think "fundamentally transforming" Frozen into the animated version of The Day After Tomorrow....
....would have done to the movie's box office numbers? Is there even such a thing as a "kid's disaster epic" demographic? I mean, for heaven's sake, they did depict Olaf getting decapitated; what more could they ask of a Disney flick?
Apparently, though, Disney has received the underlying menacing "or else!" threat loud and clear:
That being said, they’re still working on seeing what they can do. And it’s not as if Disney hasn’t done educational shorts before (some, um, more propaganda-y than others).
Because there is to be no place, no nook, no cranny, no refuge, no redoubt, no sanctuary, no safe haven, no asylum from Obamunism. Nowhere, no place, no time. EVER.
Where's Odin or Thor....
....when you really need them?
