There’s been a video going around the interwebs. It’s about Deadpool…it’s about Disney. How had I not seen this before the live?
[Yeah, how come?]
To be fair, I’m not as attentive as most when it comes to Pop Culture news.
[But…you work for a channel that reports it.]
I know, but I just started…
[You help pick topics…]
I know, I know…can we get back to the topic, please?
[Oh! Sure. Go ahead, Peanut.]
Anyway…with Disney unable to stay out of the news…
[Yeah!…like, ever…]
…
[…sorry…]
It was no surprise that Deadpool had to comment on a news item that finally hit main stream. We reported on the story, with an update that was the reason it hit main stream, on the Live a few weeks ago. To break it down, there was a restaurant on Disney property failed to properly prepare an allergen free meal, and someone…well…died.
[GASP!]
A lawsuit was filed against Disney, which they tried to weasel out of in the most tone-deaf way possible. Their claim was that the husband of the victim agreed, via Disney+ TOS, to arbitrate all disputes with Disney. Meaning, he couldn’t take them to court.
We bid our readers to look up this story online for further details, as there’s much to discuss and we could rabbit hole easily. The point of this article, however, is to feature what happened at a Disney attraction featuring our favorite smart-ass.
[Oh, I’m honored!]
Deadpool, being Deadpool, had to call it out.
[*snicker* Yeah, I did.]
But it’s the location where this happened that’s both funny and shocking, and saying to Deadpool, “Maybe too soon?”
We have the clip here…
If you can’t tell by the title…or the sign above his head, this was “Story Time with Deadpool,” a Disney California Adventure Park attraction. This begs the next question, did Disney sanction this script or was it ad libbed without them knowing?
[Hehehe…you’ll never know…]
If it was ad libbed, is someone now fired?
If it wasn’t, it’s surprising that Disney allowed it, as they’ve been rather…shall we say…
[Sh*theads?]
[Hey, why’d you censor that!]
Exactly.
[Sh*theads, Sh*theads, Sh*theads!! STOP IT!]
No.
[F*********CK!]
Yes, in the past they’ve been rather over protective of their brand, ignoring, denying, or even censoring bad press. The fact that this was allowed would be a sign that they’ve woken up…
[*gasp* Was that a pun? Kinda weak, but still good.]
Thank you.
[Welcome.]
If they’ve woken up, maybe Disney is working behind the scenes to turn things around. Probably too little, too late, in my opinion. It’ll be interesting to watch, though, like watching your enemy try to escape quicksand.
[Wow, that was dark. You surprised me with that one, Mariner.]
On the flip side, if someone is now fired, we could use another writer at Laggin’ Out. There’s no pay, just good people who actually have a sense of humor. Please reach out.
[And touch someone. Preferably me. 😉 ]
