Disneyland Takes Wives Off Auction Block For ‘Pirates’ Ride

Disneyland’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” ride is losing a scene where a bound and tearful woman is on the auction block for pirates to buy as a wife.

A banner that now says “Auction, take a wench for a bride” currently hangs over a scene showing women tied by ropes around their waists as a pot-bellied pirate grins at the audience.

When the ride reopens, the banner will say “Auction, Surrender yer loot,” and the red-haired woman at the center of the scene will be a pirate herself. A drawing of released by Disneyland shows men and women carrying food and valuables to surrender.

Disney should make its pirates offer financial aid and grief counseling to the victims of their depredations.

Does that make sense to anybody?

They’re too lazy to build new animatronic figures. Or maybe lost the know-how.

Pirate Sam: Permit me, I’ll explain in two words; we propose to marry your daughters.

Well, may not be a bad idea. I mean, when goofy things done by goofy people are far away and don’t make any sense they’re funny and comical. But Sharia law is bringing all this close to home now and auctioning captured non-Muslims is a reality in Islam and Sharia law which must be outlawed everywhere in the U.S. as unconstitutional.
