2. Who isn't boycotting Disney already? & I wouldn't blame Miramax just yet.
If they take all the negatives and destroy them, then boycott them.

However, I suspect they're not going to do that.

3. Miramax isn't the bad guy here. Weinstein wants to distribute the film.
Eisner has put the kabosh on Miramax.

4. It's Miramax money that got the movie this far.

It's crazy to blame them at this point.

Boycotting them for what's happened so far would only discourage them from taking up controversial projects in the future.

8. I seriously think he got the call from JEBtm about a revocation
of Disney's special deal with Florida...

They pay NO property taxes and are essentially a county unto themselves!

A revocation by a Repug controlled legislature would cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars.

9. I think we should boycott FLORIDA. If they elect somebody like Jeb,
we should not cooperate.
The source of the problem is not Disney (even though their bowing to pressure is shameful) but the FLORIDA REPUG ADMINISTRATION.

12. Sorry, can't. been doing it for years and years.
My kid has no idea who Micky Mouse is.
I started simply because I disliked it taking over all media.
