Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You all know children are our future, right? After watching this, I feel more confident about the future....

Little girl joins the Dark Side, is promptly kicked out of the Jedi Academy

Watch as one brave young Padawan publicly pledges her allegiance to Darth Vader, causing a befuddled Mace Windu to escort her off stage and send her to the "Sith Academy." I think we've just found the next Secret Apprentice!

While on a family trip to Disneyland, one little girl was asked to battle Darth Vader on stage — but she turned the tables, realizing the power of the Dark Side! From the Youtube page:

The Gallego family takes a trip to Disneyland and Sariah and Alex are chosen to join Jedi Academy!!!! Sariah decides to bow to Darth Vader and joins the Dark Side in front of everyone!!!!

Sariah Gallego, you're our new hero.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

SKIMMER!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That's when she explained "I've been trying to improve your personality".

If I were on the jury I'd vote to acquit the defendant based on that statement alone.

In the comments of that io9 story, someone says "Now I want a TV show about a group of people at a theme park who play characters"--I think that actually sounds pretty funny! Except you probably wouldn't be able to license any cool characters (like Jedi!) they'd all be random fake princesses and stuff.

That could be funny. Mace Windu and Darth Maul could have a secret affair.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Gah. Someone tell me to work. I had a SQUIRREL moment and I haven't been able to find my way back since.

Don't make us get out the Cone of Shame.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just for the record, msbelle's mac was an excellent Jedi.

It's Spring!

Yeah, a lamb among the daffodils--spring is trying too hard to be spring-y. But succeeding at being very cute.

Disney tends to be pretty open to mockery of Disney characters as long as it is in another Disney production. Pitch it to Disney and if they go for it, you will be able to set it at Disneyland have your characters wear actual Disney costumes. And then, because you have Disney behind you, you might even be able to license some cool non-Disney characters. Not saying Disney would be an easy sell, but no harder a sell than anyone else.
