Disney "accidentally" hired a gay porn star for ‘Little Mermaid’ remake:
"Casting bosses working on the live-action remake wanted to use “really sexy male models” to portray the mermen in the film, and among those hired for the job was 24-year-old Stefano Tomadini, who has also made (gay) adult movies under the alias Dante Ferrari.
His explicit films, for which he was paid up to £1,000 a time, are still available to watch online, though viewers have to pay.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Casting bosses decided to hire a number of really sexy male models to play mermen in the movie.
“They had no idea about Stefano’s racy videos and, given ‘The Little Mermaid’ is the big summer blockbuster for kids, it’s a bit embarrassing for Disney.”
While filming the movie in Sardinia, Stefano shared a number of behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram.
A spokesperson for Disney declined to comment." ------------------------------
"Accidentally"? Sure, I believe you.
I mean it probably was an accident, but Disney is so toxic right now that at least 1/2 of it's potential audience was just given yet another reason not to buy a ticket.
But let's be real - why are "sexy mermen" in a film for kids at all? I mean this film is aimed at 12 and younger, right? Not a lot of 16 year olds clamoring to see LITTLE MERMAID. So having the directive for "sexy" anything is starting off on the wrong foot.
This once again argues against the rationality of making this film in the first place. And of course, even a 10 second search in the internet to vet potential extras would have save them this embarrassment.
You wouldn't necessarily expect vetting of extras for a low budget movie aimed at adults, but for a movie costing an estimated $200 million before ads aimed at kids by a company founded on children's entertainment? Yeah, you probably ought to be a bit more vigilant for such things, especially as your audience continues to bleed away in large numbers.
You know who I'm guessing would never have accidentally hired a sexy gay porn star merman? Walt Disney. And until the people who run the company now realize that, Disney is doomed.
The fact that his gay porn flicks are now guaranteed to make more money than LITTLE MERMAID (which could lose a $100 million or more) should be a wake up to execs at Disney.
I mean, I'd bang him, but still....

Which was pointed out as being the first clue that he was a gay porn star. I mean in retrospect, it does seem kinda obvious....
Serious, his gay porn movies will make more money than LITTLE MERMAID.
I want you to seriously contemplate just how bad of a sign that is for Disney.

It's a sign of just how deep the incompetence at that organization runs.
That or sign of how deep the ideology itself runs through the organization.
Either way the results of the same.

The disasters at Disney just keep coming - Disney+ still losing buckets of money, INDIANA JONES 5 now the biggest flop in cinema history in addition to a string of other mega-expensive franchise killing flops, their theme parks seeing huge decreases in attendance.... And now this: the live action SNOW WHITE is so ridiculously cast & woke that it looks either like a low budget porn version of the tale, or something the Onion might have made. It's so obviously bad, so radioactively stupid that when the photo below was leaked earlier this week, Disney denied it was real... until they admitted yesterday that it was taken on set, but that it's not an "official" picture. Oh, and Gal Gaddot - a person who can not act in the slightest - has the villain. So they got that going for them. I'm sure people will flop to buy tickets to see the 7 hipsters of doom

EVEN though Disney's latest epic super box office bomb - HAUNTER MANSION - is not even 24 hours removed from its disastrous opening weekend, news broke today about Disney requiring all higher end employees to keep a "woke diary" detailing how they personally helped "the cause" in yet another indication that someone is purposefully trying to destroy the company: " Since the summer of 2020, employees at Disney were required to keep DEI "virtue diaries" documenting their actions in service of the cause. Their continuing employment, opportunities for advancement, bonuses and salary increases were all dependent on showing this "virtue diary" and documenting all the DEI meetings and conferences they attended.
In other words, if you wanted to keep your job, you were required to participate in the DEI indoctrination sessions. The whistleblower further reveals that when the "My Not-So-Secret-Gay Agenda" videos from Disney's woke "Reimagine Tomorrow" initiative were leaked, former "Chief Diversity Officer" Thon Newton issued the official corporate lie that these videos were "fake news" and instructed Disney employees to deny that they were real. The whistleblower then revealed that if Disney's DEI Police saw a Disney employee making any kind of traditionalist or conservative statement online, that person would be summoned to a Human Resources "meeting" and demanded to explain why they transgressed against the one true faith." ----------------------------- Needless to say, this had a negative effect on those with brains or even the slightest understanding of economics, history, or the current audiences for Disney movies... make that former audience for Disney movies.
Essentially outlawing the moral compass which made Disney the biggest movie company in the world could not help but ruin it, and so it did.
And all it took was 3 years.
Until the entire management team at Disney has been fired, no one should give them a dime.... Oh wait, that's already happening.

IN response to Disney revealing that they had lost some 50% of their total subscribers world-wide (largely due to an Indian TV contract running out) including 30,000 subscribers domestic last quarter, the Mouse responded the way any company would.... . ..By rising prices:"Last week, the Walt Disney Company said it is hiking Disney+’s monthly subscription price to $13.99 from $10.99 — a 27 percent increase.
Last year, the price rose to $10.99 from $7.99, which means Disney+ subscribers will see their monthly bill climb a total of 75 percent in less than two years." -------------------------
Which means even more people will be dropping the service.
Not helping much is that all of the Disney movies recently released have bombed - meaning there's little pent-up demand to watch them on Disney+.
Word on the street is that Disney is prepping to sell off everything they can to stave off the wolves... but it won't make any difference.

What an embarrassment. To think this is the same company that made "The Black Hole", smash box office hits like "The Little Mermaid", "Cars", and "The Incredibles". To sink so low. And why? Why?  Hope these dickheads are buying a LOT of tickets. |

Well, we know for a fact that they're not. At least not in numbers to replace traditional ticket sales to families w/young kids.
Again, if this were Universal or Roger Corman's New World Pictures (or whatever), such a huge swing into deviant sexuality with little financial rational would be a lot more acceptable (not understandable mind you, but acceptable).
From a company like Disney, it's absolutely stupid. The losses will continue and the bombs won't stop. Assuming they continue to employee the same people responsible for the last 5 years of dreck, Disney will be out of business in 3 years....
Or less.

Looks like Wall Street agrees with my prediction:
"Shares of Walt Disney Co. closed at their lowest level in nearly nine years Thursday, and even there they may not be cheap.
The media conglomerate's stock remains under pressure amid a host of challenges, and KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst Brandon Nispel still views it as expensive relative to peers, despite a selloff that has taken the share price down 59% from Disney's DIS, -3.91% all-time closing high established in early 2021.
"From our point of view, Disney has problems across just about every one of its businesses," Nispel told MarketWatch. These include a declining linear-TV business, a complicated shift toward streaming, an underperforming studios unit and a comedown for the parks business as the initial period of postpandemic exuberance wanes." ------------------------------
Read that bold part again - Disney's stock value is down almost 60% from just 2 years ago.
That's a greater loss in value than Am-Bev has suffered, the people behind the Bud Light disaster.
Yet at this point none of the people responsible for this almost unbelievable drop in value have fired or even been preremanded.
Until they have all been fired, right down to the janitorial staff, the value will keep eroding.
And this probably won't help much:
"Disney Under Criminal Investigation For Violation of Florida's Law by Former Board of Reedy Creek Improvement District
The Disney-owned and operated Reedy Creek Improvement District was previously violating Florida law by paying their municipal employees with "gift" passes to Disney's parks.
Gift passes bought from Disney -- with public money, which oddly enough violates Florida law about the compensation of public employees." ---------------------------------
It sure would be a shame if Disney's CEO were arrested. Yup.

IN THE SAME week that Disney announced it's shelving 2 finished shows (presumably because they are radioactively woke/bad), they're now facing down the barrel of special effects artists who look to be unionizing: "Visual effects crews at Walt Disney Studios have taken a significant step to unionize after filing with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for an election to unionize. A supermajority (over 80%) of the 18 in-house VFX crew members at Walt Disney Pictures signed authorization cards signaling their desire to unionize. The historical move is the second time in history that VFX professionals have joined together to demand the same protections and rights as their colleagues. Earlier this month, VFX crews at Marvel Studios voted to unionize beginning Aug. 21. Ballots are due on Sept. 11, and the vote count will take place on Sept. 12." ------------------------- Marvel of course also owned by Disney. Now the simple fact is that the vast majority of SFX are farmed out to India, Asian, or Eastern European countries where the hundreds (sometimes thousands) of artists create the bulk of SFX. Which is why despite having a need for more DFX then any other studio, there is only 18 people "in-house". In other words, compared to some of the other mega-disasters befalling them, this is a relatively minor one. Disney will simply fire them (if they can legally), or let them unionize if they can't fire them, and then let them go on strike. Still, death by a thousand little cuts (plus INDIANA JONES 5). variety.com/2023/artisans/news/walt-disney-pictures-vfx-workers-union-1235706136/ |

So. Much. Gay: "The Walt Disney Company scored 41% (the second highest rating in the report) for featuring 24 “LGBTQ-inclusive” films out of 59. With a total of 107 films in 2022, Netflix received a “Fair” rating with a 22% which amounts to 24 “LGBTQ-inclusive” films, matching Disney in the number of films “LGBTQ-inclusive” films. Disney and Netflix feature the most “LGBTQ-inclusive” films out of any other studios." --------------------------------
In other words, Disney is twice as gay as Netflix, which was the second "gayest" movie producer.
Let that set in for a second.
Obviously, people's worries about Disney grooming and otherwise needlessly interjecting sexuality into children's films are totally unjustified.
I mean besides all the butt-stuff.
And in other news, Disney's stock value dropped another 2.5% today, dropping below $80. A mere 2.5 years ago, Disney's stock was $201.91 (on March 08, 2021), a near 2/3 decline.
Gee, I wonder why?
Everyone's gay! Gay gay gay gay gay gaaaaaaaaaaaaagay!

You don't say..... Meanwhile, in TOTALLY UNRELATED news... nypost.com/2023/09/28/disney-workers-among-200-arrested-in-fl-human-trafficking-sting/3 Disney workers, school athletic director among 219 arrested in Florida human trafficking stingThree Disney employees, a school athletic director and a father who left his 1-year-old home alone to have sex were among 219 people arrested in a major human trafficking bust in Florida, authorities said Thursday. The seven-day undercover operation earlier this month led to 44 felonies and 242 misdemeanor charges against the dozens of suspects — 35 of whom are suspected of being in the country illegally, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said during a news conference. Overall, 83 suspects were charged for soliciting prostitution or traveling to the undercover location to negotiate having sex in exchange for money, the sheriff said. Freddy Escalona, 30, and Maria Guzman 36, were charged most severely with human trafficking due to “Operation Traffic Stop 2” that started Sept. 19. Another 17 suspects were accused of collecting money from prostitution or helping prostitutes conduct business. |
