About the Lion King thing: Of course, I think it's a bad thing to do because it really sends out the wrong message... but if you think about it, a little kid probably wouldn't notice it... they would be too caught up in the actual movie. There's other things too... if you know the one from The Little Mermaid...... but as I said, a little kid most likely wouldn't see it the way we do. That's my input. I think Disney is taking a chance by doing this, but the audience doesn't really care.

To me an urban legend is about a local story, that never seems to die.
But if not. Howabout this scene.
The scene in El Dorado Where they are making love out of sight, then pop up. I was shocked by that being in animated family movie.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.
Ralacu: Just because kids dont care doesnt mean ...ya know ...I mean they don't really know, like you said they don't think about it like we do. And there's always the chance that it wasn't put in there purposefully, but theres no way to know. Prismagic: I am not familiar with that movie.

These things can be a huge sucess too. In the early days of the internet, junk mail was already in service. A fake letter to a newspaper circulated so fast that it got people to stop throwing rice at weddings and throw bird seed instead. (rice makes pigeons explode it seems) I still get that kind of junk but there are plenty of websites to look them up on and return information to people. That will slow it down, not sure if they get the point or just think I'm no fun anymore.

Actually, the word "sex" in The Lion King was supposed to be "SFX" which had something to do with the designing studio...I guess it didn't turn out quite the way they wanted it to. There were actually two things in The Little Mermaid: The designer made a building which looked a lot like a penis, and he was told to remove it, but didn't make it to the deadline, so it stayed in the movie. Also, there's the thing about the priest...I haven't rewatched the movie, but my friend told me it was very obvious.

I'm really into goth rock and new wave. My favorite band is The Birthday Massacre. The guy in my avatar is, in fact, a guy. His name is Mana from the band Malice Mizer.
Well I don't know where you get your information but thanks for trying to clear that one up.

My fav urban legend I heard on a TV show recently (it's a bit long):
A woman was about to get married and decided she wanted to be tanned for her big day. As she nly had a week, she called up a tanning salon and asked for a few hours on the tanning bed. They informed her that for safety reasons, the sessions were limited to only 15 minutes per day. After her initial dissapointment the woman had a brilliant idea; she went ahead and made the booking. Then, she promptly called a different salon, and made a second appointment 10 minutes later. Then another, and another etc...
She went on performing this routine for the entire week, and by the day of her wedding she was beautifully tanned. However, there was a problem; she had terrible breath! Having no idea what could be causing the problem, she took a breath mint and hoped for the best.
Looking radiant with her gorgeous new tan, the bride began her walk down the aisle; however, once she reached the alter she suddenly collapsed, dead as a doornail. As the guests gathered around, they once again noticed the terrible smell eminating from her mouth. It turned out that this was the stench of her rotting internal organs. The week of intensive tanning had cooked her, from the inside out...
:-P

-Everyone is entitled to my opinion-
Anyone read the Dan Brown books? I think it was in those that it was said that Disney was a fanatic for that kind of thing. I dont recal the reliegion or cult or whatever it was. Sounded far-fetched, but maybe someone has a better memory than I do.

Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.
wasnt that to do with the knights templars and the holy grail?

"Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps"
That had to do with another urban legend on a thread somewhere -- the 'evil' eye on the back of the dollar bill and devil worship. Sheesh.

Sure, sir, the ship's sure shipshape, sir.
oh thats right - he suggested Disney was part of the Illuminati or something like that.
*edit* i'm not sure - I read all 4 books in 14 days straight so my mind is awash with religious conspiracy theories that have seamlessly merged together, the biggest mystery of all being how on earth Tom Hanks got cast as the lead in the DaVinci Code movie when he is about as far removed from the described character as is physically possible.

Does anyone think that we should put any thought into this? ...if you dont know what these examples are then please let me know and I will go into details, if you wish.
