So, there I was early this morning, finishing up the post on EW, Lizzo, and I thought of that great Prince 1999 video. Not that Dems deserve anything that snappy, but the sentiments suited my purposes, so I cued it up and VURT DA FURK?!
I could not save it to save my life, but the YouTube ad that preceded seeing Prince?
It was the most obnoxious, flagrantly insulting Disney cartoon video – and this is where my jaw hit the floor – instructing Disney shareholders to vote for the entire Disney-approved slate in the board election on April 3. Little red check, check, checkmarks in the boxes under “Company Nominees: Recommended by Your Board.”
Wow. Talk about aggressive. And juvenile.
Since I couldn’t clip the ad itself or grab a screenshot, I bit and clicked through to the site. It’s VoteDisney.com and schlick as schnoodles.
The first thing that happened was a pop-up with the same ballot…
