disney characters vs. cereal characters
I noticed the other day how there are no african-americans in Disney movies. It's kinda sad. Unless you count Aladdin and The Little Mermaid, there are no minorities in the movies. I started thinking about why and then I figured it out. It's because we have all the cereal characters. Let's start with Diggem the frog of Sugar Smacks fame. He is definately black. He's so hip. Always saying, 'digem, digem." He wears his hat flipped up a la Wesley Snipes in White Men Can't Jump. I think he's even wearing red high tops. Sugar Bear from Golden Crisp cereal is definately black. Just listen to his voice. So silky soft. He's smooth. If he were a real person he'd probably be Billy D. Williams. I may catch hell for this one, but Tony the Tiger is black. There's just something about him. The bee from Honey Nut Cheerios...? Definately white. But Count Chocula, as you would expect, is definately black. He may, however, have a thing for white girls. Toucan Sam is black. He may also be gay, but that's another story. The Cocoa Puffs bird is black. He may be a crackhead, but he's black. Obviously Snap, Crackle and Pop and the Leprechaun are white, but I have a sneaky suspicion that the Trix rabbit, while not completely black, may be mixed. Unfortunately, the Cookie Crisp guys are black. Why do we always have to be running from the law? The jury is still out on Cap'n Crunch and the Honey Combs monster, but I will get back to you on those. So, while there may not be any African Americans on Disney, we do have the cereal game on lockdown.
