Beijing Disney Ads Make Miley Photo Shoot Look Tame
“Disney’s Double Standard: Despite Playing the Victim in Hannah Montana Photo Episode, Company’s Ads in China Feature Even Racier Tween Models After Disney screamed in outrage over Vanity Fair’s controversial Miley Cyrus shoot, now photos of Disney underwear ads in China have popped up on the web showing even more skin on tween models. Disney spokeswoman Patti McTeague claimed the Annie Leibovitz photos “deliberately manipulated a 15–year–old in order to sell magazines.” In comparison, the Beijing billboard photographed by Slate writer Daniel Brook shows a little Lolita in pigtails lounging in merely a matching white bra and panties set patterned with Disney’s signature Mickey Mouse logo, the NY Daily News reports. A spokesman for Disney’s consumer–products division told Slate that the ad “has caught us totally by surprise.”
Yeah sure, more likely that they got caught is what caught them by surprise.
