Assuming it's true, I'd say that he really needs to lay off the Hash pipe for awhile.

Absolutely. Cartoon mice are quite contributory to the current decline of values and decency in the world. They are an affront to all right-thinking people.

Are you blind, man?

No, but I always thought it was cartoon cats responsible for the decline of
Western values. Fritz the Cat, anyone?

Another strange thing is anti-cartoon mice, but in Palestine they had a Mickey look-alike on one of their kids' shows.

It looks like Mickey is preparing to defend himself, though: Mickey Mouse Transformer.
