Cigar-loving Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Friday that children need to be warned often about the health dangers of smoking, but Hollywood shouldn't feel pressured to cleanse cigarettes and cigars from films aimed at youngsters. |

The article has this comment about Disney: "[i]Walt Disney Co. began including anti-smoking messages on certain DVDs earlier this year.[/i]" I wonder if Disney added those message to movies like "Mary Poppins" and "Alice in Wonderland". Both movies have characters that smoke.[/quote]
I do not know, but Walt would never recognize that company today, it's all about money for them and since they have a lot of kids stuff, they're trying to appease parents. |

The funny thing about these warnings is that Disney is partially responsible for a much bigger health threat to kids: obesity. By sponsoring McDonald's and other junk food chains with little Pixar toys and Disney toys, kids are being hurt in a way that immediately affects their lives. The warnings are just appeasement so the company can move onward making money from marketing fast food toys to children.
Thanks Disney. Thanks for helping to turn our kids into this:
That's my take on it. Now I am going to go watch Kill Bill 1. Dozens of people get stabbed and hacked to to death in that one. There's no, "Don't Brutally Stab People with Swords Warning," so that must be okay. Good thing they didn't smoke too. You wouldn't want to give people the wrong idea of what is acceptable.  |

Good Ole Walt did a lot of good for the world. Unfortunately he loved his tobaccy tooo much and died of the big C. Fortunatly though, he had enough money to have his body cryogenicly frozen until scientists figure out how to cure lung-cancer and freezer-burn

One thing thats extremely important is to educate smokers how healthy tobacco is. The less additives added and minus the filter, more so.
