Amerikanci protiv PIK-ove paštete na Mickey Mousea
PIK-ova pašteta s likom Mickey Mousea izazvala je ogorčenje Amerikanaca. Naime, SF pisac Bruce Sterling je, boraveći u Hrvatskoj, na policama u marketima uočio čajni namaz za djecu s Mickeyevim likom te je svojim objektivom zabilježio taj proizvod i postavio ga na svoj blog Beyond the Beyond. Od tog trenutka preko 4 tisuće dušebrižnih Amerikanaca je u šoku ostavilo svoje komentare. No, ipak mogu se umiriti jer PIK Vrbovec ima Disneyjevu licencu za korištenje lika popularnog miša. Glas Dalmacije...
(((Yes, yes, I *know* they have a proper license to use Mickey Mouse. It's not weird because it's pirated (it isn't); it's weird because the Mouse is shilling gleaming mounds of whipped pork liver.)))
(((Thanks to the many Croatians who wrote in explaining that eating pork liver paste from a branded tin is perfectly normal and decent; nay, even a thing to inspire childhood nostalgia. I get that.
Now maybe you can explain that to the 5,886 people who have stared at that image in wonderment.)))
