Mickey's Revolt

Anaheim, CA. Yesterday, in a shocking turn of events, Mickey Mouse announced a worker uprising and general strike at Disneyland. Walking hand in hand with his wife Minnie, and dressed in denim overalls, Mr. Mouse led a long procession of characters, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Donald and Daisy Duck, Cinderella, Tinker Bell, Goofy, Pluto, and thousands of other Disney employees down Main Street and out the entrance to Disneyland. “We’ve had enough,” he said, when confronted by reporters. “Though we’ve made a lot of people very wealthy,” he continued in his high-pitched voice, “the Disney Corporation doesn’t seem to understand that whether you’re a princess, a mermaid, a wizard, or a fairy, whether you’re a mouse, a dog, a duck or an elephant, everyone deserves respect and equality under the law, and all of us have the right to express ourselves freely. This cowardly attempt to censor and remove Jimmy Kimmel is both an insult to our democracy and a threat to us all. If we don’t stand up for what’s right, next they’ll come for Stan, Kyle, Eric and Kenny.”
