The Little Mermaid: The Truth About Disney's Boldest Assault on the American Family

To many the classic Disney film "The Little Mermaid" is a warm, wholesome tale about true love overcoming adversity. I, however, have noticed a disturbing truth about this story, and tonight after years of silence I feel compelled to shed light on what is one of our generations greatest attacks on the American Family. No, I am not talking about the rumors we have all heard regarding sexual references supposedly hidden by some disgruntled writer within the soundtrack and drawings that make up this film. There is, by far, something even more disturbing and dangerous than even these (if they are in fact true) that was intentionally placed in the film. Lets investigate:

"The Little Mermaid" is a story set in the world of Mermaids and Mermen deep below the ocean's surface. A world which is ruled by King Triton, the father of seven daughters that are made to entertain the entire kingdom with their singing in scantily-clad outfits. Although it cannot be proven, the girls all look different implying that they all have different mothers, which would mean that the king is quite promiscuous. Also I find it troubling that no mother is ever shown or even mentioned anywhere in the film.

By now you are, no doubt, asking yourself whether or not you should ever let your child see this film again. Brace yourself, because it gets even worse.

Against the specific order of her father Ariel (the star of the movie) goes to the surface of the ocean to identify some objects she has stolen from a sunken ship. After King Triton finds out about the trip to the surface he disciplines her with a stern reprimand and she storms out crying. Later that same evening Ariel sees a wild, alcohol induced party happening on a ship above her, and is compelled to attend herself. After doing some "peeping tom" spying on this out-of-control party for Prince Eric's birthday she determines she is "in love" with him. This bothers me quite a bit because at this point in the story here is what we know: Ariel is 16, Prince Eric is good-looking, rich, and powerful, and Ariel is in love with him. The story continues when King Triton, at his wits end, destroys everything in Ariel's warehouse of stolen goods. I'm not sure what this is suppose to accomplish, but it drives a wedge so far between Ariel and Triton that Ariel consults Ursula, the sea witch and arch-nemesis of her father, to make her human. So basically, Ariel, the 16 year old who knows better than her hot-tempered father puts herself and her entire species in danger in order to be with this attractive guy she has never met. In the end however, all is well when Ursula is brutally murdered and Ariel turns her back on the whole Merperson race to become a Princess.

I would encourage you to destroy your copy of this family-wrecking movie before your daughter falls in love with a creature of another species and is willing to throw you and everyone you love under the bus to be with him. As always have a nice day and tell everyone you see to read this. Also, look for my documentary film later this summer: "Justin Cunningham and the Conquest of The Big Texan."

Jusitn Cunningham presents: How to save the ecomomy Part 1

Right now all you hear about is the doom and gloom surrounding the economy and many, especially those on Capital Hill, believe the answer lies in the form of mega-loans on the backs of taxpayers. Well, I have a different idea on how to save the economy that will result in no additional taxes, will actually increase government revenue from taxes, and as a bi-product will give Americans more entertainment value for their dollar than ever thought possible. The key to all of this is the National Football League, or NFL.



By now you are, no doubt, asking yourself, "How could the NFL possibly save the economy?" A perfectly legitimate question, indeed. The plan is as follows: The NFL needs to draft a new rule that will allow a team to score one point as a result of the quarterback throwing the football between the goal posts (similar to a field goal or extra point kick). If this new, revolutionary rule is implemented it will result in tighter competition between teams, resulting in more fan interest. More fan interest will result in more tickets and souvenirs being sold, which will result in more jobs created. Additional jobs will also be created with the need for franchises to hire and maintain additional coaching and recruiting personal to accommodate this new tactic. Furthermore, as fan interest in the NFL grows more and more cities will begin their own franchises, resulting in economic growth in even the poorest of American cities.



Admittedly, this plan cannot totally eliminate the problems facing America in the economic sector. However, it can provide a first step to climbing out of this hole, and without costing taxpayers billions of dollars. There are additional steps I believe we need to take that will be addressed in future posts. Until then, God Bless and have a wonderful day!
