As many have said, Disneyland is the purest of family joys and messing with that is being hurtful, unthoughtful and perhaps downright cruel, really. Disneyland is a place for all to get away, believe in peace, love, goodness and magic. Why try to take away from that or poke fun at it? Not a healthy minded person would do that. Artist, as they've dubbed him? Not in my opinion!

And no local news sources have mentioned the BTMRR incident. In covering the elephant story the LA times would have mention an event at Disneyland. All of the stories so far have been based on the first reports of this on the internet. Not one news department has mention that they tried to contact Disneyland for comment. Even if the park denied anything happened it would still be news. Fact is it was a photoshop hoax.

What other generalizations have you pegged me for? Just because I smell B.S. on our "guerilla artist", whom I did a little research on before I posted my first post, because I question his motives, because I protest the "protester" you label me a conservative? Shame on YOU!
