Confessions of a Disney writer

For many years, I made my living writing TV shows for Disney. I was proud of my work, considering it a privilege to make kids laugh all over the world. But in light of Disney’s disastrous embrace of pro-pedophilia policies, I’m glad that I grew disillusioned with kids’ TV and walked away from the field.

Every kids’ TV writer knows that, when crafting a story, you have to be careful about “modeling behavior.” Whatever kids see, they imitate, so you should “model” positive traits in your scripts, particularly when writing for preschoolers. Imagine inserting a pint-size Larry David character in your story who is obnoxious, argumentative, and sneaky. Inevitably, you’d get back notes from the story editor telling you to revamp the script to avoid modeling negative behavior.

So Disney’s recent commitment to “add queerness” wherever possible can’t be explained as just trying to teach tolerance and inclusivity. The executives know that by showing “queerness,” they are modeling queerness and encouraging kids to imitate that behavior.

In fact, Disney has had issues with sexualizing children for a long time. Cole Sprouse, a former Disney Channel star, recently noted that he and his co-star brother both suffered trauma from their acting career. He added, “The young women on [Disney Channel] were so heavily sexualized from an earlier age than my brother and I that there’s absolutely no way we could compare our experiences.”

You only need to witness the spectacular flameouts of Disney child stars Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan to wonder what traumas changed them from adorable ingenues into hypersexual vixens. Tracking the endless legal troubles, destructive addictions, and mental breakdowns of former Disney stars has become almost a parlor game, as in this depressing article, “20 Child Stars Ruined By Disney.” What on Earth happened to those beautiful kids that destroyed their sanity?

We do know that Disney has a history of exposing its young actors to convicted child molesters. Brian Peck served 16 months in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of molesting a Nickelodeon child actor. One year after his release, Disney hired him to work on the children’s series Yay, Me! Starring London Tipton and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Victor Salva served 15 months in jail for raping and videotaping a boy who was acting in a film he directed. Nevertheless, Disney hired him to direct the film Powder.

And then there’s the case of James Gunn, the hugely successful writer-director of the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films. Disney fired Gunn in 2018 after his disgusting sexual tweets about young boys prompted an outcry. Disney’s honcho publicly proclaimed that Gunn’s tweets were “inconsistent with our studio’s values, and we have severed our business relationship with him.” But that didn’t last long. A few months later, Disney quietly rehired Gunn to direct Guardians of the Galaxy 3, after various stars of the series wrote an open letter begging for Gunn to come back. So much for studio values.

HOLLYWOOD STARS RECEIVED GIFT BAGS AT OSCARS WITH LORDSHIPS INSIDE

Reports have suggested that Hollywood celebrities attending the Oscars Sunday night received bags which contained ‘gifts’ worth six figures including literal lordships along with plots of land in Scotland.

No, this is not The Babylon Bee.

While many of the film stars in attendance have made public calls to support Ukraine, they were offered luxury packages which according to reports included “a $25,000 project from a construction company; a $15,600 four-night stay for two at a luxury resort; a $15,000 three-day holistic wellness retreat; a $12,000 arm sculpting procedure; and a $10,000 skin treatment such a Botox.”

The top gift, however, was a plot of land in Scotland which would literally make them Lords and Ladies of Glencoe.

In total the gift bags were said to be worth in the region of $140,000.

People reacted to the gross opulence on social media, noting that the money could have been spent on aid for the people these celebrities seem so intent on claiming their ‘hearts are breaking’ for.

Congrats, Man! Five Biological Dudes Who Won 2021 Women-Only Contests

Roman Catholic Archbishop Fulton Sheen once said, “To a great extent, the level of civilization can be measured based on the level of its womanhood” — which is bad news for much of the Western world, because in 2021 it would appear all of our best “women” are actually biological men.

As civilization goes to hell in a hand basket, it is difficult to keep track of all the latest leftist absurdities foisted upon the average citizen.

To help document our decline, here are five biological men who won woman-only prizes, listed under their respective category, in no particular order.

Judge permanently blocks release of Bob Saget autopsy records

A Florida judge on Monday agreed to an order that permanently blocks the release of photos, video and other records connected to the investigation of Bob Saget’s death.

The permanent injunction, granted by Circuit Judge Vincent Chiu, had been requested by the comedian’s family.

The 65-year-old actor died on Jan. 9 after suffering “blunt head trauma,” likely from a fall backward, at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes in Florida, an autopsy has revealed.

Saget suffered a fracture at the base of his skull, fractures around his eye sockets, a cut to his scalp, and bleeding between the brain and tissue covering the brain, according to an autopsy report.

His death was ruled accidental and authorities have said there were no signs of foul play or drugs at the scene.

There were no signs of illicit drugs or toxins in Saget’s body, according to a toxicology report.

Bob Saget’s family files lawsuit to block release of records from his death investigation

The family of Bob Saget has filed a lawsuit to block the release of records from the investigation of his sudden death, court documents show.

The comedian and actor, who was most famous for his role as Danny Tanner in the sitcom “Full House,” was found dead in his Florida hotel room on Jan. 9, authorities said. Saget, 65, died from head trauma, his family said last week. The chief medical examiner for Orange and Osceola counties said that the manner of death was an accident.

On Tuesday, Saget’s wife, Kelly Rizzo, and three daughters filed a lawsuit against the medical examiner’s office and the Orange County sheriff seeking injunctive relief to prevent the release of any records — including photographs, video and audio recordings, and “statutorily protected autopsy information” — related to his death.

Medical Experts Weigh in on Bob Saget’s Cause of Death

Several medical experts weighed in on an autopsy report that was released describing actor Bob Saget’s cause of death, with several saying that details about his death are perplexing.

Saget, 65, was found dead in an Orlando, Florida, hotel room last month, and this week, Orange County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua D. Stephany said he died of blunt head trauma.

“It is the most probable that the decedent suffered an unwitnessed fall backwards and struck the posterior aspect of his head. The manner of death is accident,” the report said. His family earlier said that he hit his head and decided to sleep it off before he was found dead.

But Dr. Jeffrey Bazarian, an emergency physician and concussion expert at the University of Rochester Medical Center said that such an extensive injury that was described in the report would not have likely been ignored by Saget, formerly a star of “Full House” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”

“It’s like an egg cracking,” he told the New York Times. “You hit it in one spot, and it can crack from the back to the front.” The injury, Dr. Bazarian said, would have left him confused or possibly unconscious.

“I doubt he was lucid,” Dr. Bazarian added, “and doubt he thought, ‘I’m just going to sleep this off.’”

An autopsy report that was released alongside Stephany’s statement said Saget had posterior scalp abrasions, subgaleal hemorrhage (blood that forms between the scalp and skull), discoloration of the eyelids due to the fracture, subdural hematoma (a buildup of blood on the surface of the brain), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in the space that surrounds the brain).

Another expert, Dr. Gavin Britz, the chair in neurosurgery at Houston Methodist, also appeared to question the autopsy report’s findings.

“This is significant trauma,” Britz told the NY Times. “This is something I find with someone with a baseball bat to the head, or who has fallen from 20 or 30 feet.”

In making reference to the report showing that Saget had fractures to the bones in the eye socket, known as the orbital bones, Britz said that “if you fracture your orbit, you have significant pain.”

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office previously said there were no signs of foul play. The autopsy report said Saget had COVID-19 and also noted there were signs of Klonopin, a commonly used benzodiazepine, and Trazodone, an antidepressant, in his system. No illegal drugs were detected.

Questions Being Raised About the Severe Head Trauma in Bob Saget’s Death

Bob Saget’s death in January was a very tragic thing, especially for someone who was still relatively young, was beloved by so many people, and who had contributed so much to the entertainment industry.

But now, there are folks raising questions about the serious head trauma he suffered.

His death was attributed to head trauma in an autopsy report released on Thursday, and it was assessed to be an accident, i.e. maybe he fell and then went to sleep, and then died.

Now, the description of the head trauma is much more extensive than initially suggested, according to the NY Times. He had multiple fractures in multiple areas on his head, both the front and the back.

Some neurosurgeons said that it would be unusual for a typical fall to cause Mr. Saget’s set of fractures — to the back, the right side, and the front of his skull. Those doctors said that the injuries appeared more reminiscent of ones suffered by people who fall from a considerable height or get thrown from their seat in a car crash.

The autopsy, though, found no injuries to other parts of Mr. Saget’s body, as would be expected in a lengthier fall. The medical examiner ruled that the death was accidental. The local sheriff’s office had previously said there were no signs of foul play.

“This is significant trauma,” said Dr. Gavin Britz, the chair in neurosurgery at Houston Methodist. “This is something I find with someone with a baseball bat to the head, or who has fallen from 20 or 30 feet.”

Dr. Britz noted that the autopsy described fractures to particularly thick parts of the skull, as well as to bones in the roof of the eye socket. “If you fracture your orbit,” he said, referring to those eye bones, “you have significant pain.”

While I don’t often have a lot of respect for Dr. Sanjay Gupta, he is a neurosurgeon and his description here of the injuries is accurate.

‘There was rape on a regular basis.’ How Hugh Hefner’s friends ran their own Playboy ‘mini mansions’ with ‘reject’ Playmates promised fake modeling contracts before they were ‘traded like cattle’ to rich and powerful men

Teenage girls as young as 16 were trafficked, drugged, beaten, groomed for prostitution, and raped at ‘mini mansions’ owned by Hugh Hefner’s friends and frequented by celebrities, a former president and state governor, Playboy insiders claim in interviews with DailyMail.com.

Witnesses said that wannabe ‘playmates’ who didn’t pass auditions at the Playboy Mansion would be housed at a network of Beverly Hills homes where they were fed false promises of modeling contracts and movie roles while ‘traded like cattle’ between rich and powerful men.

Jennifer Saginor grew up around the glamorous Playboy Mansion of the 1990s and 2000s.

As the daughter of Dr. Mark Saginor, Hefner’s close friend and personal physician dubbed ‘Dr. Feelgood’ over his reported proclivity for prescribing Quaalude pills, she says she was exposed to the secret, dark side of the Playboy enterprise from a young age.
