Marxist quote of the day
Upon the occasion of Mickey Mouse’s 75th birthday:
“Mickey Mouse offers up a … symbol of innocence while hiding the role it plays in commodifying children’s dreams and extending the logic of the market into all aspects of their lives.”
–Penn State professor Henry Giroux, author of The Mouse That Roared: Disney and the End of Innocence. Yep, Mickey Mouse is a dirty capitalist Fat, um, Cat. The white gloves say it all.
UO shoutout: In the article, Giroux makes our own Disney-critiquing professor Janet Wasko sound mild by comparison.
