Subliminal messages in disney movies

BURBANK, Calif. (AP) -- A Christian group that claims 'The Lion King' briefly shows the word 'sex' says there are also risque scenes in two other popular Disney feature cartoons.

The American Life League maintains there is the audible message "Good teen-agers, take off your clothes" in 'Aladdin' and, in 'The Little Mermaid,' a wedding officiate becomes visibly sexually aroused.

The anti-abortion group, based in Stafford, Va., wants the Walt Disney Co. to remove 'The Lion King' from video stores. It says it was alerted to the appearance of the word by a woman who said her 4-year-old son noticed it.

Disney spokesman Rick Rhoades said Friday that the league is imagining things in all three films and that the company is not recalling video tapes of 'The Lion King.'

The group did not ask that Disney remove '

The segment in question in 'The Lion King' occurs about midway through the movie when Simba, the hero, plops down and a cloud of dust rises above him. As the dust begins to trail off, it forms the letters S-E-X, with each letter fading as the next becomes clear, the group says.

Rhoades said the scene simply shows "swirling dust in the night sky." "Seeing anything in 'The Lion King' other than a good wholesome family film is purely perception," he said.

The league also claims that, in a scene near the end of 'The Little Mermaid,' a man performing a wedding is shown in profile and gets an erection as the bride and groom approach.

In 'Aladdin,' the objectionable words are allegedly spoken in a whisper when Prince Ababwa calls on Princess Jasmine in the scene before the magic carpet ride.

Disney animators have snuck bawdy messages into earlier releases.

In 1994, eagle-eyed viewers of the laserdisc version of the Disney co-production 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' got a glimpse of cartoon character Jessica Rabbit without underwear, and of graffiti offering Disney boss Michael Eisner's home phone number as that of a brothel run by Allyson Wonderland.

The difference between web surfing with IE and Firefox is the difference between body armor and a trendy cotton vest

 

We've all heard the stories. Stories about innocently searching the internet with Internet Explorer when, all of a sudden, all the alarms are going off with your virus scanner. Programs are installing themselves. Warnings about Smitfraud-C, SpyAxe, and Vcodec are popping up on your screen.

And some of us have had firsthand experience. Firsthand experience that has led us away from IE and to other browsers like Firefox.

And why is that? Well, virus writers are generally going to be trying to get the most bang for their buck, ,just like everyone else. That's why. And IE currently provides them with that. It still has the largest market share, likely due in large part that it comes preinstalled on most computers.

But just because it's preinstalled doesn't mean you have to use it and expose yourself to all the spyware and virii targetted to it. You can do what an ever growing portion of users out there are doing. You can switch to
