Religious Right Folds on Disney Boycott After Nine Fruitless Years

In classic Orwellian fashion, the far right hate group American Family Association is ending its boycott of Disney and declaring success just a few days before the 15th Annual Gay Day pumps millions into Disney's theme parks. AFA president Tim Wildmon said the boycott had been a huge success.

Oh, of course it has. Disney sent the career of out lesbian Ellen Degeneres soaring with its massive popular hit Finding Nemo. Now Ellen is a daytime talk show fixture and Emmy winner beloved by moms and kids everywhere. Disney's family friendly summer movie "Herbie: Fully Loaded" was directed by another out lesbian. And ABC is reaping the rewards of TV's biggest new hit "Desperate Housewives," which has given a huge boost to its ratings thanks to its out creator Marc Cherry and steamy storylines about moms sleeping with (very hot) teenage gardeners and other high school guys who are gay and/or experimenting just to drive their moms crazy. Yep, that boycott is going swimmingly -- they've certainly changed Disney's behavior.

Why don't they just boycott America and be done with it?
