Aw, look at this nice picture of Mark Harris and his wife, who had a nice time in Florida until they went to the Epcot Center at Disneyworld and were shocked, shocked, to find a Mexican employee working at the American pavilion, which “showcases different cultures in the United States.”
We will admit that we are a little baffled as to the source of this Epcot worker’s Mexican-ness. Was he wearing a sombrero? Doing a Mexican hat dance or the cucaracha? Or perhaps he simply had a Hispanic last name—like, say, “Rubio”? Unfortunately, the Harris’ blog is lacking in this kind of detail.
From Think Progress:
The local GOP in Snyder County, Pennsylvania has rushed to disavow Harris’ overtly racist comments. County Commissioner Malcolm Derk told The Daily Item, “Americans are people of any race, color or heritage. Cheers to the individual working at Epcot for showing what a true American looks like.”
What a surprise, that a couple believing in “very conservative principles” and the “Republican platform” feel that they have a monopoly on American expressions of authenticity, and have determined that there is no room for “Mexicans” in their vision of America. But for purposes of “bias,” we’ll remind you that there were literally thousands of RNC delegates that didn’t throw peanuts at black women, talk to empty chairs, or post racist screeds about Mexicans on their blogs.
UPDATE: Wonkette operative “Suzanne” emails: “Nametags at Disney always display your ‘origin’… the guy at Epcot would be Mexico City, Mexico, etc.” Just taunting wingnuts, aren’t they?

The story should have ended with that couple getting pummeled to within an inch of their lives and left in a dumpster somewhere.
Wow, you remember Epcot very differently than I do.
What, you mean that WASN'T the real end of the tour? And all these years I just thought Walt Disney was a dick!
So, let me get this straight: He was offended that a Mexican works at Epcot but the RNC passed a measure in their platform for Puerto Rico to become the 51st state. Would he have been less offended if the latino had been Puerto Rican?????
Statehood for Puerto Rico–good.
Statehood for DC–bad.
FFS…
Too bad it wasn't Miami – they could have been the opening murder for Dexter this season.
With votes, of course.
Just last week Mrs. Harris shot a Navajo woman while buying bingo cards.
How she got into the bingo cards, I'll never know.
They were confused by the entire concept of "culture"; their entire experience with it has been in their yoghurt. Haha, just kidding! They never eat yoghurt!
Not with that weird foreign-looking "h" in it, anyway.
Like good Real Americans, they eat yogurt and only if it's the kind that makes you poop.
Now I've got the thought of Jamie Lee Curtis pooping in my head again; ew.
Jamie Lee Curtis is pooping in your head? AGAIN?
Ew, indeed…
Just wait until he finds out that there hasn't been a white Disney Princess since Belle, in 1991.
Jasmin: Arab, introduced in 1992
Pocahontas: Native American, introduced in 1995
Mulan: Asian, introduced in 1998
Tiana: African American, introduced in 2009
Times they are a changing for the better!
They were SO white! (They just had really nice tans and stuff.)
Rapunzel, 2010. Totally white/blond, although fairly awesome. Brunette at the end, but still.
I didn't happen to see Rapunzel. Thanks for the update.
lol – totally didn't mean to sound snarky. It's a good soundtrack, if you have a 6 year old girl… Ol Mark and Irene are NASTY. Their blog. Oy.
I won't deign to look at their blog. It's a beautiful Friday, the day before a stormy Labor Day weekend (which is great by me as I love storms), and nearing the end of the work day. No way am I going to spoil that by reading what a couple of racist fascists wrote.
Writemeblue, I have three granddaughters and I need to keep up on the latest Princesses.
Well, technically you can include Rapunzel (Tangled) and Merida (Brave) in that group now, and both of them are white (indeterminate European and Scottish, respectively).
On the other hand: Scottish! Her accent alone makes her awesome.
Merida rocks because she doesn't get married or even have a boyfriend! LOVE.
I hadn't considered that, but you're right, that's pretty awesome too. Heck, half the point was that she didn't want to get married.
From a dramatic standpoint, the "big reveal" moment in Tangled takes my breath away — excellent visual direction and score, not to mention 3-D modeling. I never imagined we'd get to the point where you could plainly see a look of astonished realization on a computer generated character's face so well.
And yet, Mitt still doesn't seem quite human…
In fact the only love she does "find" is a newly close bond to her mom.
BTW, even if all the Disney Princesses of the past 20 years WERE caucasian, I'm sure these two douchebags would still hate them:
!) Belle – intellectual outsider who looks past superficial facades and tells the jerky hutner dude to get lost.
2) Jasmine – not only an evil Muslin, but is unimpressed wtih vulgar displays of materialism and stands up to her dad.
3) Mulan – shows brains win out over brawn and beauty doesn't have to conform to one narrow standard. Her resourcefulness and unselfishness ultimately saving not just her father and her platoon, but an entire nation.
4) Tiana – a strong, determined young woman who overcomes both racial and gender bias of the times to achieve her dreams. Her admirable qualities inspire others to be better as well.
I'm sure any Puggie would be horrified by such disrepsectful uppityness.
Mulan = cross dresser.
Although those are computer animated films, not traditional Disney animation. And there was also Esmeralda from Hunchback – who was a Gypsy, so maybe technically white but not normally treated as such by Europeans.
Finally this year there was Merida, the ginger heroine of Disney/Pixar's "Brave"! Pretty fun movie, actually. But yeah, that guy should have been in a perpetual state of offense for the last 20 years. Thank goodness he's not a Michigan cop, or he would have filled that Darkie Mouse that startled him on Main Street full of lead!
In Belle's defense, she was shown in one of the opening scenes of the movie reading a book while walking down the street.
You gotta love that.
When we visited the area where Pocahontas lived, my granddaughter stuck her head in all the buildings, calling her name. "Maybe she's out in the woods gathering food for her familiy?" "OK!" and we left.
Yeah, but even Belle totally hooked up with a Beast Noir, race traitor!
Really, now. Do these fucks have USA shoved so far up their asses that it is pressing Florida deep into their brain parts?
Only in America would one go to an amusement park to visit America.
Real corporate America, too… those smiling faces are painted on because there's a fuckin' check at stake.
Engnhgn…Eurodisney? A 'cultural Chernobyl," to be sure, but très populaire auprès des Grenouilles
Ahem.
Okay, to be more precise:
Only in America would one go to an amusement park in America to visit America.
Look, if it ain’t got no ride attached to it, then our children can’t learn no historical shit.
These here parks are the encyclopaedias of today.
Suggested rides for Dixie Disney?
The "Nigger Necktie"?
Mssrs. Schwerner, Chaney and Goodman's Wild Ride.
Still too soon?
"Escape to Moonshine Mountain"?
It could be a car painted with black primer with the headlights painted out.
Yeah, that or the “Hold my beer” thrill ride…
Sherman's flume ride to the sea?
Get down and dirty at the Robert E Lee's quagmire , then freshen up at the Jefferson Davis “you're all washed up” water world!Defend your states rights as the Feds march in! (Rubber bullets only please for kids under 8)
Trail of beers?
"The roller coaster inside McClellan's mind"
" the overseer's magic cotton field"
"The 'keep the wimmins and n*ggers in their place' fantasy land". ( you must be this white and male to ride this ride"
"It's A Small Mind After All" – Conservative Hall of Fame?
You've got my vote!
Maybe if that Messican had served them some chili cheesy grits it would have been okay?
only if the chile is left out. Cheese grits, fine.
Or if he was mowing the lawn
More peanut throwing, huh.
Epcot has a exhibit on Romney's lawn care?
But he's not racist – at least not according to the modern conservatives' standards, where you can only say someone is racist if they run around screaming the n-word or are actual members of the KKK.
Or if you point out that racism exists.
Yes, the argumentum ad "Whoever smelt it, dealt it" is getting a real workout this election cycle.
Gawd Soros, quit being so racist against the racists.
Now Soros…remember, only people who call racist wingnuts racists are racist. It's also not racism to point out Obama's deep-seeded hatred against whitey, particularly when discussing how the black panthers hate whitey and they're terrorists. Not racist at all…just like when Bob Jones in their textbooks wrote about the KKK being good Christians who were upset about moral decay, not because they're deeply fascistic racists? See, no racism here…settle down.
"No hablo ingles, Señor."
I hope they had the class and refinement to demand the gentleman's birth certificate.
When they say 'American' they mean 'white'.
Was that for the children in the audience?
That would be the definite implication, yes…pasty assed crackers. I can't believe it's 20-fucking-12 and these people are bigger racists than even their parents. It's supposed to be that each successive generation is less racist than the previous to prove we're not devolving into apes but these fuckfaces want to repeal the 14th Amendment which has been settled for 140+ years!
"I was shocked when I saw "Rubio" speaking that Spanish talk last night!"
And yet when Mark harkens back to that 'Rrrrico Suave' singer from the early 90s with a sneer … Irene gets strangely quiet.
I was shocked to see Craig Romney speaking Spanish. Nice way to remind folks about his Grandpa George bein' a Mexican polygamist…
The real tragedy is that even in an injection molded approximation of our country racists can’t have their fantasy minority free
Wait… this isn't a sim?!
Holy fuck… I haven't rebooted in 43 years!!
The good thing for the Harrises is that the were so busy with the Mexican, they didn't get to the next part of the exhibit and see that there was an Irishman there.
I've never been to Disney World (a fact of which I am inordinately proud). Do they really import workers from all over the world to be in their little displays? That seems excessive to fly in special beer-maidens from Germany and cheese-eaters from France.
From what I understand (admittedly very little) the foreign missions of the various countries handle a sort of "who wants to work in America for a year?" outreachy-type program for their youth. Not sure what the criteria are beyond a generally toothsome appearance and the ability to withstand a year in central FL.
In fact, they do.
And WDW is really quite nice, as long as you understand what it is and what it is not. Anybody who goes to Epcot thinking it bears any resemblance whatsoever to actual foreign travel is obviously deluded; but I will admit that sometimes it really is nice being wrapped up in an idyllic fantasy world, provided you remember it's just that.
And then you get the bill.
I had dinner in "Morocco" once. Ground beef with powdered sugar is surprisingly delicious.
You know, this is a bit of a topic shift, but I'm amazed Disney hasn't done something like the "World Showcase" but with a bunch of Disney worlds instead. Like a real-life version of the "Kingdom Hearts" games. Seems to me they'd make a boatload of money from both kids and nostalgic adults alike.
I'll agree—WDW is really a quite awesome vacation. Their food is actually excellent and (again, former event planner and renowned boutique hotel chain employee) their hotels are probably the best run I've ever stayed at.
"sometimes it really is nice being wrapped up in an idyllic fantasy world, provided you remember it's just that. "
The problem with GOP fuckwits like the Harrises is that they don't know it's a fantasy.
Moroccan belly dancers FTW.
Not unusual, it's how we used to do World's Fairs and Expositions. EPCOT is just a "permanent" one.
I live pretty close to Disney, I have a whole bunch of kids, and I can count the number of times I've been to the Magic Kingdom on one hand. And the last time doesn't really count since I was only there to run the half marathon.
With that said, Disney is very, VERY good at what it does. It's a perfectly sanitized, pretty, and ingenious make believe world where everyone is happy and everything glistens. It's not really my kind of thing but I can see why people love it. Of course, the price of a three day stay with hotels, food and park admission for a family of four will run $2,500 easy. And that doesn't even count airfare.
Fun fact: No one has ever died at Disney World. Really. If you were to suffer a massive coronary standing in line to ride Space Mountain you'd be whisked away through their tunnel system and be pronounced officially dead "off-property".
Of course you have never been to Disney Epcot, if you had, you would have known other country's populations originate in Epcot, not vice versa,….at least, that is what the americentric R-idiots believe.
I've never even been to Florida, which is something I'm even prouder of. lol
Wait until he realize he voted for a Mormon… those tears will taste soooo bitter.
Wait till they find out that Native Americans were here first and that whites were a bunch of land stealing, disease giving illegals.

From their boring travelogue:

Is there a topic here? (Unintelligent bellicose old Rebublican couple is stupid?) Huh! I've been thinking about Clint – wondering if he might have had a small stroke recently…no other explanation seems adequate….
Maybe Clint pulled off some great performance art. (Too great.)
He DID knock Mitt off the headlines, and he's WAY more liberal than the wingers that were there.
I like to think that his angry old white man act, (seen Gran Torino?), was a big "fuck you" to the GOP.
Just sayin…
When a Seminole Indian was asked for a rebuttal, he said, "Fuck it, Mark and his beached wife ate at Hard Rock. Gotta get mine, baby."
Wait till he finds out who cooked his cheeseburger at the "The American Adventure Cafe."
Wait until he finds out what's in his cheeseburger at whatever restaurant he next visits.
Hehehe…that's right!
I hope it was Lafayette Reynolds (True Blood). <<This might be too obscure.
Slim Shady
I just saw this Disney response; "Yes, it should have been various tribes of native Americans, but we kind of went all genocide on them. Not that many left here in Florida…well, that we wanted to employ. I 'm sure, as conservative Republicans, you understand we can't have a bunch of drunks standing around the park. We hope you understand, Mexicans was as close as we could get".
Wait until they find out the fellow was gay and a Muslim.
When did Peggy Noonan get her own blog?
Now they know how I feel when I go to Chipotle and some braces-wearing, red-haired gringo serves me a burrito bowl.
If they're red-haired, aren't they strictly speaking a "guera", or does that specifically mean blond hair?

So sorry Conservative Real American man, here allow me to take him out of your bowl so he can self-deport.
Haha, see:that's Romney's plan…get it huh?
In reality they just flushed the soup into the toilet & sent Pepe back via the waterway.
Viva Coservatard principles..Ole!
Romney–self deport…Ryan—self abort…
They should strapped into a little boat and have to go around and around and around listening to "It's a Small, Small World" in perpetuity.

It does seem that every evil they try to point to Obama has three fingers pointing back at themselves….and one pointing nowhere at all….
He was also shocked to see people at Sea World.
They only serve lemonade after the Jack Daniel's Distillery tour, too!!
What a dumbass. Hey conservative nincompoop, 'member in the 1840's when we stole a bunch of land fair and square from the messicans, in the messican war of messican whoopin'? Well all that land out there had messicans living in it already. So they became citizens of our country, poof, like that. Was that young wage slave descended from the messicans we took over then? I don't know, and neither do you.
No one told them never go full retard?
Mike Harris is a pendejo.
A pinche pendejo
Could I see a few thousand more examples of Republican bigotry, please? I'm just not quite convinced yet that they're a mob of bone-mean, brain-damaged savages.
Wow, they don't even try to hide their racism anymore.
They aren't aware of it. I mean, really. A Mexican working in America? Who would have thunk it?
Those peanuts aren't going to throw themselves!
Like that woman in Indiana, (well, okay it was Indiana, but still), it used to be you had to keep your bigotity bigortry bullshit to your self and your friends. Now you can blab about what an asshole you are on the national media. And no one tells you to shut the fuck up and go back to your trailer.
By extension, lady, if I offer you this bag of lightly salted Freedom Dicks, every one of which boasts an All-American pedigree, you & your husband would have to accept them. Right? Anything else would be unpatriotic.
It's a small mind, after all! It's a small mind, after all!
Everybody sing!
Viva Sin'ore Mickey Moose!EL Rata rules.
Wait 'til they found out about the black family living in the White House. Mr. and Mrs. Harris will write an angry letter to the editor.
I wonder if it was actually the ghost of Mitt Romney's Mexican-born grandfather?
Man, you democrats get offended by everything!
As a Pennsylvanian, I have to say that I have been to Snyder County — well, driven through it and stopped in Sunbury — and it is, and I'm being nice here, a shithole. I don't believe they have any Mexicans or blahs there at all and the weekend entertainment includes roasting marshmallows around the good old cross fire…
Proud to be an obese American.
I think I would describe them as "full of lard".
Damn straight. Buurrrpp!
Thank Christ the guy wasn't a Sioux Indian or something.
Or Marco Rubio
That would have to be a Seminole.
Mark Harris is a semenhole.
(see how I did that? nice, huh?)
I fucking hate Disneyland.
Don't worry someday they will hire a full nole.
Actual conversation that took place at the train stop:
Random Old Guy: My people are Sioux. We were the best and fiercest warriors ever.
My gentleman friend: OK.
Random Old Guy: What are YOUR people?
My gentleman friend: Um… we're German.
[pause]
[pause]
[pause]
Random Old guy: Yeah, they're pretty good, too.
I thought the reason to get offended at Epcot is that it's really boring.
I thought Mitt was of Mexican heritage.
I camped in Snyder County a few times. No shit there is a place called "Beavertown" and another really small town (like 3 houses) called "Coon Hunter" that has a crappy golf course.
They were also surprised that there were thin attractive and lucid people working at the America exhibition, since those are also clearly not representative of the America these people live in.
The funny part is, Walt Disney would have agreed with them.
It's a small-minded world, after all.
"Cheers to the individual working at Epcot for showing what a true American looks like.”
"Now go cut my lawn."
It's amazing how you get to actually visit different countries at Epcot. I heard they actually have some sort of diplomatic immunity and probably Sharia law so you should watch what you do or say – and don't go flashing a lot of money in front of foreigners.
It's the having to stop at a currency exchange every 50 feet when you change countries that's the annoying part.
Although even the exchange rate arbitrage is cheaper than buying a fucking soft drink.
And an American Indian nearby standing by was offended by the sight of Mark Harris and wife.
I bet he wouldn't have any issues with a Mexican mowing his grass for 3 bucks an hour though…
Are all the Harrises in Florida bitten by the craze-tard?
"Mark was very civil when he made his point that we found it offensive that Disney used the Meszican names for so many of the states, like Florida, California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Texas, Montana, "New" Mexico (like there could be anything new about Mexico) and worst of all Puerto Rico which isn't even a state and why do we have to have them around as if Meszicans weren't bad enough."
Next thing you know they'll be complaining about the Irish.
Imagine a person of Mexican heritage being considered American. It is almost as if we didn't kick out the hispanics when we took possession of Texas, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Nevada, Colorado and Utah.
Yes, and there are Muslims in Epcot's America also, although they mostly in lock-down on an island in the World Showcase Lagoon.
Dude's head would explode if he ever visited San Antonio. Hell, even the mayor of this All-American city is a Mexican.
What you bet he thinks nothing of renting his cars from Alamo? Stupid piece of shit.
Or just down Highway 41 in Miami.
From the movie Lone Star:
Guy at PTA meeting: Why should we rewrite history class to favor the minorities?
Latino guy: Minority? We're 95% of the population! Maybe *you* should repeat *math* class!
Isn't Mitt Romney a Mexican American?????????
^^ Winner !!
Actually the big story from these two was from the Canadian pavilion. Two tall waiters asked Harris if he had seen the Calgary Stampede yet. Harris felt threatened and since he was fortunately packing heat he shot them both.
Lucky for him that even though it was the Canadian pavilion, it was strictly, literally, legally Florida. So he's in the clear. They were kind of scary guys, apparently.
How self-unaware does one have to be to not only hold this opinion but intentionally reduce it to writing and share it with others? Have they never considered the possibility of having a flat tire in a bad part of town? Not that I'm wishing them any ill will; not much.
If they did have a flat in that part of town, and someone actually helped them out, they'd write it up and go into great detail about how this young black man came to their aid.
And I'm sure they would have offered him a Fiver for his efforts.
Apparently they missed the old saw about "better to remain silent and thought the fool than opening one's mouth and remove all doubt."
Better to hide your tax returns and be thought of as a tax cheat…
ftw
They'll only be upset when they find out that the black family is not "the help."
People do come to this country legally and become US citizens. That would qualify them to work for Epcot as an American.
They DID leave contact information on their blog: http://rockstargop.wordpress.com/contact-mark-or-…
And Anonymouse.org is free so you can tell them how you feel.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Harris,
Looked at the posts and pictures on your blog. May I say that fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, and you two need to get one.
Fuck you muchly.
Don't bother rushing, Derk, (if that's your real name), that ship has already sailed.
(And shhhh…don't tell the Harrises about "Gay Day.")

Hey, señor Bozo, it's America all the way down to Tierra del Fuego!
I have never been to Disney, but I did go to our state fair earlier this week and went all kidzoid and got the ride-all-the-rides wristband, and I thanked the operators every time they brought me safely to a halt after vertiginous shrieking and fun. I dunno, seems like a good idea. I also thank the drivers when I get off a bus.
What's wrong with just being nice to people?
It's cute how he thinks he was traveling to other countries.
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm white
Speedy Gonzales is a fictional cartoon character too, my friends…
From their blog:
It was for you, good Harris people, that Stephen Colbert invoked his climate-change-denial clause, with accompanying photo of a grinning infant:
”What just happened is the *only* thing that is happening. Ask any peek-a-boo-ologist.”
"At the conclusion of the discussion, the Epcot supervisor politely led Mark outside and beat him to death, whereupon I was sold into slavery. The End."
<sigh> Why are morons like this no longer news to me?
To be fair, I'm pretty sure roughly half of those literally thousands of people were at least thinking of doing one of those three things.
You know, statistically.
Christ, what an asshole.
I noticed that comments were closed on that post. I wonder why?
Today In Irony:
Political Activist couple, working to elect candidate who publicly embraced his Mexican heritage last night, become upset when encountering a Disney employee who may be proud of his Mexican heritage.
The Onion is going to go out of business at this rate.
"we were offended — terribly, terribly offended — to see a person from Mexico, and thus be reminded that persons from Mexico exist"
I grew up in central fl and use to love to go to disney and find a family and try to get in the back ground of all of their photos
Epcot's food and wine festival is great. Bonus is that you get to watch entire families fall apart in front of your eyes.
Now THAT is entertainment. I suggested to my 10-year-old son that he do that when he goes to Knotts Berry Farm with his mom tomorrow. He just looked at me like I was immature or something.
(As for being in a family that falls apart at wine festivals — been there done that.)
Knotts Berry Farm is in Buena Park, which is right next to Anaheim, where Disneyland is. These crackers from Pennsylvania would feel more at home in comparatively white Buena Park, which is only 40% Hispanic/Latino. Anaheim is 46% Mexican, and majority Hispanic/Latino.
Come to the Magic Kingdom any time, Mark and Irene! It will terrify you even more than Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg!
"It was neat seeing each country and the employees were from that individual country, and watching the police demand to see their papers."
what about the coons and the kikes and the spics and the micks and the greasers and the faggots and the bull dykes?!?!?! huh what about those you ess effs!!!???
Didn't check if anyone mentioned this (if so it bears repeating) sorry.
I guess they haven't been to the National Archives, you know the store house of the Constitution etc and noticed that it is guarded almost exclusively (in the rotunda where the actual documents reside) by what sound like Jamaicans. *Gasp*
Apparently these entitled assholes won't pay enough to get their vaunted race to take the jobs.
Fuck them and the horse that danced with them.
"The local GOP in Snyder County, Pennsylvania has rushed to disavow Harris’ overtly racist comments."
After which he rushed to the phone to call the Harris' and remind them that we don't talk about these things out loud to the liberal public. Only at Thanksgiving, after the Cross lighting.
The Mexican was there only because the Muslim's shift had just ended.
"Mark spoke up and told them he was highly offended after visiting the other countries and seeing employees from that country and then come to America and find a Mexican. He was very civil but his point was well made."
I love how Irene and Mark Harris assume that employees in say Little Japan at Epcot were ACTUALLY IMPORTED from Japan to work in that exhibition. Rather than say….Japanese Americans working at Disneyworld. You almost feel sorry for them. But then you realise, oh right, they are fucking assholes. Then you stop feeling sorry for them.
I'm pretty sure that the well made point to Epcot workers were that Irene and Mark Harris both need to shove themselves up their own asses. That and their idiotic blog.
Sort of an update, not that the idiot looks any better:
how about 'phuque you, that's my name!' instead.
How do you say, "enjoy the spit I put on your food", in Spanish?
Of course his email handle is "RockStarGOP." Because racist prattle like that makes you a Rock Star in today's GOP.
In addition to the irrational hatred for Mickey Mouse I had as a child, people like this are why I've never wanted to go to Disneyland.
Go, Bullwinkle YAY!
Ummmm, maybe the guy was actually Puerto Rican–and thus an American since it's been a territory for like 100 years?
And I am offended that the advertisement on their blog is for Volkswagen. What kind of true American blog allows a German car anywhere near their website?
Needz moar Peggy Noonan.
As some guy named Shakespeare wrote,
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.

But where was Palin? WTF?

In response to a snark beat down the weak willed semi strong American duo backs this out of their collective spines:
"For those of you who have not taken the Epcot experience, it is a trip well worth taken. Epcot gives you a real world experience all in one day. The shops, the buildings, the shows, and the food is all inherent to where you are. Each staff member is identified by a name tag, referencing their country of origin. As noted, only in the country of the United States, within Epcot, was a staff member representing and working, who did not have a name tag representing that country. I would say being offended may been too harsh, disappointed or dismayed may have been a better choice of words"
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww, too bad, ya pussies, own your words, be proud to be assholes.

Hey, she said her asshole husband was "civil" while being an asshole. What more do you want?
This is 2012: our computer generated characters transcend the uncanny valley, while a real ostensibly human Presidential candidate wallows stuck in it.
Rapunzel in Tangled is great, because she can use her hair like tentacles, whips, etc., and she's all action hero.
Merida in Brave is my new favorite, though (displacing Tiana, who was my previous favorite because she's a hard-working entrepreneur and also a frog sometimes).
"Brave" is pretty amazing animation. My wife and I went to see it mainly because she is hooked on the "Brave" edition of the mobile game "Temple Run." She likes to berate the little running/jumping Merida figure like a Disney Evil Godmother while she plays it.
Like most Pixar movies, I had to watch it twice cuz the first time I was checking out the incredible ways they can render textures.
