Disney World Gets Rid Of Janet Jackson Mickey Stat


Recommended Posts

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Janet Jackson's mouse is history.

Disney has quietly gotten rid of a 6-foot statue of Mickey Mouse that was dressed like Jackson.

The statue was one of 75 unveiled at Disney World last fall to celebrate the 75th birthday of Mickey Mouse.

They were inspired by celebrities such as Andre Agassi, Jamie Lee Curtis and Ellen DeGeneres.

Disney spokesman Gary Foster told the Orlando Sentinel considering all the controversy it drew, they decided to replace Jackson's Mickey with a new one.

It's been replaced by a spare statue designed by an in-house Disney artist. The statues -- minus the Jackson one -- have been shipped to a convention center in Philadelphia, for investors to see at Disney's annual shareholder meeting.

Jackson has been criticized for her breast-baring Super Bowl halftime show

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
