Breaking news at this hour (give or take) and all too well we have heard of
Barney's controversial campaign stealing Disney characters, starving them into plus size and placing them in plain sight in their advertising campaigns. Health advocates are worried about the messages such adverts give to the kids; some are even doubting whether Disney even took part in this advertising campaign. Since the
Habit Heroes fiasco (in which
WOL4EVA even drafted a letter for others to adopt and send), here are two of my reactions towards the campaign...
A petition is going around, in which it is accessible via this link [
Change.Org/minniemouse] and even a hashtag movement sparking links to the campaign under
#OccupyBarneysNY (very fresh) and
#SkinnyMinnie (however, WOL4EVA doesn't condone illegal or jeopardising activities whatsoever.) All I'm saying is that body image, no matter how strong an issue is, is still a hot issue in current society whatsoever. All I'm saying is that instead of focusing on the exterior as a barometer of good health, people should've looked at their insides and used their heads for once...

Of course, what about a hot piece of activism while we're at it? Wonders of Life was a successful legacy in Epcot's attempts at a health pavilion, and did excellently at capturing the minds of the youth (and youth at heart) in its prime. Another petition is doing the rounds in which
you can access here for signing, spreading and even advertising (use hashtags such as
#FreeBuzzy and
#GenKnowledgeDisapproves, or even
#HelpWOL.) Tweeps, it's your turn to get into the battle and start spreading the word about these two petitions!
Good luck to you all... Buzzy will count on you...
Just so you know, Buzzy is gone. I have pictures if you want evidence.
ReplyDeleteSadness to hear. Though I suspect either be could be archived and restored, or something awful might happen to him (he may not make it in one piece)
