haha I used to work for the Mouse and people tend to call it Mousewitz.

[–]VileKyle 24 points25 points ago

Duckau also works.

[–]dazwah 13 points14 points ago

People in Euro Disney called it that and once management caught on, the term was banned...so they invented Duckau.

[–]BullWizard 1 point2 points ago

Thanks QI!

[–]Thedrunkensavant[S] 9 points10 points ago

That is a bit depressing...

[–]miss_lulu 4 points5 points ago

i actually enjoyed working there so it was funny to me.

[–]EBone12355 1 point2 points ago

I have friends that work as animators at Disney, they also call it Mousewitz based on working conditions.

[–]aluvus 1 point2 points ago

The police in the image bear a strong resemblance to pictures of Georgian (the country, not the state) police in Mickey Mouse-like gas masks that circulated a few years ago. I suspect that was at least part of the inspiration. Relevant pics: http://englishrussia.com/2007/11/08/georiga-photoshopped-special-forces/

[–]I-plaey-geetar -5 points-4 points ago

Ha ha it's funny because YOUR LYING.

[–]alex314 3 points4 points ago

You accidentally a word.

[–]Charice 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was a play on the OP's missing apostrophe. It wasn't.

[–]I-plaey-geetar -2 points-1 points ago

Words ar hard

[–]miss_lulu 3 points4 points ago

I'm not lying. I don't get why I would lie about it either.

[–]Chocolateshotgun 31 points32 points ago

And now it's mine, too. Thank you.

[–]ozzuen 5 points6 points ago

Came here to say the exact same thing.

[–]nixon007 0 points1 point ago

ditto

[–]arto2 88 points89 points ago

Disney himself was an anti-semite

[–]Flylighter 12 points13 points ago

[–]flinkazoid -1 points0 points ago

But that creep could roll.

[–]anon_y_moose -1 points0 points ago

Don't forget racist and sexist. But who's keeping track?

[–]zalixaz 3 points4 points ago

great book

[–]fuzzb0y 51 points52 points ago

This is not WTF worthy...

[–]blahblahblahxyz123 7 points8 points ago

Things in /r/WTF rarely are.

[–]hover888 -3 points-2 points ago

Mostly gore.

[–]Schnoor 2 points3 points ago

I feel like since /r/gore is a thing, any thing legitimately WTF worthy just goes over there. I mean c'mon, I cringe once every 6 pages on /r/wtf but the first thing I looked at on /r/gore just about killed me..

[–]Atheocracy 15 points16 points ago

Because it looks cool. I like it.

[–]Fuyuri 23 points24 points ago

Your friend has a portrait monitor?

[–]CommanderCranium 11 points12 points ago

iPhone/iPods

[–]neutral_response 0 points1 point ago

Maybe she has it on an actual wall ?

[–]The_Painted_Man 1 point2 points ago

Exactly what i was thinking.

[–]Obnoxious_liberal 21 points22 points ago

It is anti-corporate. I like it.

[–]zoidberg1339 4 points5 points ago

From behind a podium perched high above an adoring crowd, a figure clad only in red pants and yellow shoes addresses his fans...

M-I-C...

The masses respond, as if one...

K-E-Y...

The figure replies back, in unison with the horde now...

M-O-U-S-E...

[–]rjsmith2007 0 points1 point ago

A stale light flows across his face, as he leans forward...

Who's the leader of the pack that's made for you and me?..."

His gruff voice squeeks out...

M-I-C...

The masses chant out again, louder this time...

K-E-Y...M-O-U-S-E...

From behind the light, the figure raises his hand to call for a salute

Countless hands raise in unison, as silence takes over the crowd

[–]Darnis 1 point2 points ago

I'm surprised this doesn't have more upvotes..

[–]reflect25 5 points6 points ago

That looks like a great idea for a video game

[–]DulcetFox 2 points3 points ago

Yes, Epic Mickey should've been way darker, make mickey the bad guy.

[–]tomdarch 1 point2 points ago

My first trip to Disneyworld, I realized that the metaphor isn't Nazi Germany, it's North Korea: Pop Century - concrete baracks for the proles, the "Dear Leader's" face is everywhere, you have to "show your papers" constantly and the meal plan is like some sort of ration book.

[–]NorthKoreanSpy 2 points3 points ago

-_-

[–]barfretchpuke 2 points3 points ago

Family friendly fascism... you're soaking in it.

[–]wideopenbeavers 2 points3 points ago

Because it's social commentary.

[–]orgynal 1 point2 points ago

Hey thanks, now it's my wallpaper too.

[–]riquiscott 0 points1 point ago

Disney World is a people trap run by a rat ...

(former "cast" member, 1994-1996)

[–]PoisonvilleKids 0 points1 point ago

Disney: The Rat Channel.

OooOo Is there a new ride in Disney Land?

[–]Winnr 0 points1 point ago

Anyone have this in 1080?

[–]handshakeholocaust -1 points0 points ago

But Hitler hated Mickey Mouse..

[–]misterxy89 2 points3 points ago

Source?

[–]Vaeb41 0 points1 point ago

I know... That isn't the best resolution for a wallpaper

[–]drewitt 0 points1 point ago

Must've found out the hard way.

[–]herpberp 1 point2 points ago

this is about disney's hold on copyright law.

[–]musclesglasses31 0 points1 point ago

Wow thanks!

[–]Dr_Drunk 0 points1 point ago

Education, For Death!

[–]heyguys274 1 point2 points ago

I like it

[–]liverpoop 1 point2 points ago

What could you possibly have against this?

[–]scudmonger 0 points1 point ago

I haven't been to disney world in a while... I guess they changed a bit.

[–]TurgidMeatWand 0 points1 point ago

Are they finally releasing an Actual Kingdom Hearts 3 and not some lame pre/midquel.

[–]Loose_Noose 1 point2 points ago

Why not?

[–]beeboobeeboobeeeep 0 points1 point ago

mickey mouse is bizzarro maus.

[–]Hot_rod_machine 0 points1 point ago

And... This is now the wallpaper on my iPhone

[–]AdrianBrony -1 points0 points ago

Am I the only one who tends to root for the riot police in these things? there's something about the order and authority they hold that just makes me want to obey them.

Not because I fear them, but because I admire them.

[–]SuperBeast4721 0 points1 point ago

I have a new wall paper.

[–]Dirty0ldMan 1 point2 points ago

If you ever lived in Florida, it'd make more sense.

[–]crushcrushcrush 0 points1 point ago

[–]2_shourt 0 points1 point ago

Because Didney.

[–]ImGoingToPhuket 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for the wallpaper.

[–]khengstebeck 0 points1 point ago

because disney hated jews...

[–]euric 0 points1 point ago

Surprised no-one has recommended Maus I+II, by Art Spiegelman.

Read it, seriously. A graphic novel that won a Pulitzer.

[–]iVoid 0 points1 point ago

I think his computer may be sideways...

[–]oh_no_a_hobo 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of the book Maus, except in the book the Jews were mice and the Nazis were cats. And I think the Poles were pigs or something.

[–]neobonzi 0 points1 point ago

Fantasia, Nazi Edition!

[–]TheVGamer 0 points1 point ago

I'd much rather see this happen than live with what has become of Disney today.

[–]dastweinerhund 0 points1 point ago

Mickey is representative of mega corps that can monopolize goods and services and then contribute to the Government in such high quantities that they in essence become it. In other words, reality.

[–]Grymnir 0 points1 point ago

I think its trying to say something about the fascist corporate machine, man.

[–]laikalost 0 points1 point ago

The most offensive thing about this is that it's vertical and not landscape. What kind of fucked up monitor is your friend using? (Or alternately, he's just got it centered in the middle of his screen with big goofy black bars on the sides, which is equally annoying).

[–]CoyoteStark 0 points1 point ago

Because Maus is a prestigious pulitzer prize winning look at what happened to a man and his loved ones inside a concentration camp.

[–]skinnyme110 0 points1 point ago

reminds me of Maus

[–]aazav 0 points1 point ago

[–]Portal2isEh 0 points1 point ago

Didn't Obey or might be Banksy do something similar?

[–]tortyr 0 points1 point ago

[–]extremeskater619 0 points1 point ago

I as well now have this as my background.

[–]Eylisia 0 points1 point ago

To be fair, it is kinda cool (artistically). Also, wasn't Walt an anti well, non-white-people, or is that untrue?

[–]shutup_Aragorn 0 points1 point ago

why is his screen vertical

[–]MissTian 0 points1 point ago

If you working for the mouse, you will know

[–]Geotis 0 points1 point ago

Well, Disney dollar is stronger than Poland's currency, and acceptable there too.

[–]_CitizenSnips_ 0 points1 point ago

jesus how small is this guys resolution

[–]Fragabond 0 points1 point ago

Because Disney owns fucking everything.

[–]passionPunch 0 points1 point ago

Can you ask your friend if there is a bigger/higher res version ??????

[–]NismoTooSlow 0 points1 point ago

Hitler had some sort of obsession with not only Mickey Mouse, but all of Disneys characters at the time. He used to draw them as well.

[–]thatloudblondguy 0 points1 point ago

As a past disney employee, I can relate.

[–]BabyBBabyCakes 0 points1 point ago

When you said wallpaper, I for some retarded reason assumed you meant actual wallpaper -__-" SMH.

[–]BuckleWolf 0 points1 point ago

We are all under the influence of the Mouse... our dreams, our hopes, our aspirations all replaced by Disney. Raised on television, we are fighting against a culture being raised on trash.

[–]gonesnake 0 points1 point ago

This is the opposite of Art Speigelman

[–]doyduhdoh 1 point2 points ago

Walt Disney was a Nazi eugenics supporter. Thats why. Ein Volk Ein Reich Ein Maus

[–]Erdrick27 0 points1 point ago

Micky did nothing wrong.

[–]pulsefield 0 points1 point ago

Der Reichmouse ist der only Mouse!

Sieg Heil!

[–]shroomkween 0 points1 point ago

Disney is evil..

[–]NewOrleansBrass 1 point2 points ago

Kingdom Hearts meets V for Vendetta.

[–]telaranrhiod -1 points0 points ago

Do you really not understand the symbolism behind this picture?

[–]PinkLenny 0 points1 point ago

I am sure anyone with even one brain cell understands the "symbolism". This picture is not that deep.

[–]telaranrhiod 0 points1 point ago

I would think that someone with one brain cell would fail to understand the symbolism as they would be dead...
