It's important for our Nation, for > our families and for all people of faith in America that we respond to Eisner's insult against our beliefs and begin to defend ourselves against > this latest outrage. Today I urge you to be a part of stopping > this twisted Disney's anti-Christian bigotry and demand a return to the standards of its founder, Walt Disney, for the sake of our children. You have the power to make Eisner accountable for his wreckless perversion of a name we have known in the past to represent decency. Avoid all Disney products-its movies, its videos, its toys, its theme parks...the works. Don't give Disney another penny to be used against your values and all that Christians hold sacred. > > Read on and be informed. > > > Subject: Disney defaming Christianity again > > This is a message from the American Family Association. I've > forwarded it to everyone I can who believes in family and Christian values. > Please do the same. American Family Association > http://www.afa.net > > ********************************************* > Disney-owned Miramax Films is in the process of finishing a movie called > "Dogma." According to reports from a number of Christian and secular > sources, the movie includes these outrages: > > 1. God (played by female rock star Alanis Morissette) comes to earth as an old man and is obsessed with the game of skee-ball. He is nearly beaten to death by a group of demons. A debate ensues over whether or not to keep the old man alive on life support or let him die. > > 2. Two angels are cast out of heaven after deciding that killing in > God's name is wrong. One quits by throwing down his flaming sword and giving God "the finger." > > 3. A priest deems the crucifix too depressing a symbol for Catholics and wants it replaced with Jesus giving a "thumbs up" sign. > > 4. In defiance of God, a Catholic female descendant of Jesus (the > heroine of the movie) works in an abortion clinic in Illinois. > > 5. There is a filthy talking 13th Apostle. According to the story, he > was stoned to death for informing citizens that Jesus was black. > > New York Post columnist Richard Johnson writes that "Dogma" is expected to meet with protests the likes of which haven't been seen since the release of 1988s 'Last Temptation of Christ.' " > > In its April 6 report on Dogma, NewsMax.com, an Internet news service, > ran this headline: "Disney's Eisner Set to Defame Christians Again." These quotes appeared in the accompanying article: "Michael Eisner and his Disney Corp., parent company to Miramax Films, seem to have an obsession with defaming Jesus Christ. Disney and Miramax enjoy antagonizing Christians with blasphemy, having produced 1995s 'Priest,' and last year's TV sitcom 'Nothing Sacred' on Disney-owned ABC." > > Like a modern-day Pontius Pilate, Disney is trying to wash its hands of the whole Dogma fiasco. Even as you read this, Disney/Miramax is anxiously looking for a movie company to take Dogma off its hands. > The latest report has Disney selling Dogma to Miramax principals Harvey and Bob Weinstein. The Weinstein brothers would form an independent company that would sell the distribution rights to Paramount, Universal or another movie company. It's similar to the public relations dodge Disney pulled a few years ago with the NC-17 rated (formerly X) movie "Kids." Not wanting to tarnish its phony "family" image, Disney tried to wash its hands of "Kids." > The Weinstein's bought the film, formed a separate company and distributed > the infamous film which many called "kiddy porn." > > > Well, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. We must > not let Disney dance around this latest outrage. The damage has been done. > The movie's been made and will eventually be released. Whether the money > came from Miramax's bank account or Disney's, it makes no difference. Disney owns Miramax. They are the one and the same. We hold Disney totally > responsible for the actions of Miramax. Even worse for Disney CEO Michael > Eisner and his company is the fact that Dogma has been over three years in the making. If Eisner were really concerned, he could have stepped in at any time and pulled the plug on Dogma. But he didn't. And if you ask me, the only reason he's trying to distance Disney from Dogma now is to avoid stirring up those of us who are successfully boycotting the company. > > > You may want to write to Michael Eisner: > > Chairman Michael Eisner; > The Walt Disney Company; > 500 South Buena Vista > Street; Burbank, CA 91521-6205 > > Please forward this to every one you know-especially those who still > think Disney is a family oriented company.
