a day in …

So far this Christmas my Boycott list is small. The list at the moment is:

• Harry Potter and the Gobshite of Fire
• Anything Disney
• McDonald’s

Why you may ask?
Well, HP&TGSOF I’m ignoring because I’ve no interest in HP or any of JKR’s works. Its not because I don’t like them, its simply because I don’t want to get to know them.
Disney & McD’s, otoh, I’m boycotting them because in all the publicity I’ve seen and heard for TLTWATW I’ve not seen or heard any reference to C.S. Lewis.
Most of the promotional material I’ve seen or heard suggests that this is an original piece of work by Disney, which is about as true as Disney writing Cinderella, Snow White, Peter Pan or any other fairy tale.

Aside from their cartoon characters (some of which are often debated were stolen) I’d like to know what Disney has done that is original. I’d also like to know if Walt is spinning in his fridge, but like many Disney claims thats also not true
