Rarely is a book this much of a pleasure to work on, because I
stopped on page after page to read and crack up at Hiaasen''s sharp
and pointed wit--and then be shocked by the nasty things I never
knew about Disney! I just went to Disney World for the very first
time ever last year, so I was curious to see what Carl Hiaasen had
to say about it--and I don''t think I''ll be going back again!

內容簡介：
"Disney is so good at being good that it manifests an evil; so
來源：香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk uniformly efficient and courteous, so dependably clean and
conscientious, so unfailingly entertaining that it''s unreal, and
therefore is an agent of pure wickedness. . . . Disney isn''t in the
business of exploiting Nature so much as striving to improve upon
it, constantly fine-tuning God''s work."

How Disney Devours America
"Revulsion is good. Revulsion is healthy. Each of us has limits,
unarticulated boundaries of taste and tolerance, and sometimes we
forget where they are. Peep Land is here to remind us; a fixed
compass point by which we can govern our private behavior. Because
being grossed out is essential to the human experience; without a
perceived depravity, we''d have nothing against which to gauge the
advance or decline of culture; our art, our music, our cinema, our
books. Without sleaze, the yardstick shrinks at both ends. Team
Rodent doesn''t believe in sleaze, however, nor in old-fashioned
revulsion. Square in the middle is where it wants us all to be,
dependable consumers with predictable attitudes. The message, never
stated but avuncularly implied, is that America''s values ought to
reflect those of the Walt Disney Company, and not the other way
around."
