Here's a question: Is Walt Disney Co. a marvelous Southern California economic engine or ... the Spawn of Satan? I spent a week in August grappling with just this question, on vacation with my wife, my three boys and my brother and his family at Disneyland.

But it wasn't Cathy's preternatural cheer or even spending $250 a night for a Disneyland hotel room that sent me to the Bible for a quick refresher on Satan. It was standing before the giant gates of the Magic Kingdom with the kids, waiting to get my hand stamped. Revelations 13 became reality: "And [the Antichrist] causeth all ... to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark...."

Is it a coincidence, I wondered, that Disney, Mickey and Eisner all have six letters?

Holy Land

Every word this man said is pretty funny, which, of course, was his intention.
They only stamp your hand if you want to leave the park and re-enter. There's drinking fountains by all the restrooms if you don't want to buy bottled water. The Grand Californian hotel inside the park is more expensive than other hotels in the area.
The rest of the complaints this guy seems to have is that there was too much customer service and the employees were too friendly and helpful. I wish that was a problem everywhere else.
There's not enough tinfoil to go around, apparently.

Sheesh! Does nobody see that this was a humorous essay? I can't believe that anyone could take it seriously.
Interesting that it was published in a Jewish publication. Uhh...they don't believe in the Antichrist, or even the other Christ.
It's humor folks. Laugh a bit.
And Turley, too? Hmmmm?
Tin foil this needs steel plates.
I believe it is unrealistic to make children adore MICKEY MOUSE and the DISNEYWORLD/LAND to the point of exlusion of normal activities. Life does not revolve around make-believe.
It is no wonder there are hundreds of thousands protesting in NYC, because they don't want war, they don't want responsibility, they want to be told what to do, to live in La La Land where someone comes up and offers them their every whim, and wipes up after their nasty butts.
ohfercryinoutloud...wash your bloomin' hands.
Unlike the stamp for re-admittance, I'm pretty sure the Mark of the Beast doesn't wash off with soap and water.
You don't like Disney? Don't go.
But, millions of people do which is EXACTLY why they can charge $2.75 for a bottle of water.

Uffda! Frankly, although a lot of kids like Mickey and other cartoon characters, I've never met one who excluded normal activities to worship them. I won't even get into other mythical characters, for fear of ticking off a bunch of folks.
Disney, like all companies, has its faults. I will give them a huge kudo for customer service -- I was temporarily in a wheelchair during a visit to MGM Studios several years ago. The "cast members" on the rides were impeccably polite, helpful and more than courteous. I think a lot of these workers are taking a lot of hits because the mouse has teeth.
OK, sure. A holy land theme park. Admission $29.95, or you can get an annual pass for $69.95. I'm sure the kiddies will just love it. But...how much do they sell bottle water for there.
You don't suppose this is a for-profit outfit?
Let the truth be told!
He is freakin' KIDDING. It's humor. Everyone lighten up, we could use the levity around here. Jeez.
disneyworld is fun
Does the Holy Land theme park have its own Palestinian homicide bombers???
"He is freakin' KIDDING. It's humor"
That point seems to be completely missed by many on this thread. For Pete's sake!
"Does the Holy Land theme park have its own Palestinian homicide bombers???"
I don't think so, but there's the hourly "Jesus Overturning the Temple Moneychanger's Tables" pageant, in the Marketplace.
Now that one will thrill the kiddies, for sure.
And you don't want to miss the nightly crucifixion, where the Jews kill Jesus. Bring your children.
