Disney Lawyers 1, Hamas Militants 0

Yesterday the Associated Press carried a story about a Palestinian television program for children that featured songs about destroying Israel and spreading Islamic domination, sung by a character that looked a lot like Mickey Mouse.

Mickey Mouse.

The Walt Disney Company's trademarked, copyrighted, locked-in-a-vault-at-Fort-Knox Mickey Mouse.

You may not know this, but the Walt Disney Company headquarters has an entire floor of lawyers who do nothing all day except hound people who mistakenly thought they could make cheerful little copies of trademarked, copyrighted, locked-in-a-vault-at-Fort-Knox Disney characters.

Now that you know that, you won't be surprised to hear that the Associated Press carried a story today reporting that the Hamas militants who produce the little TV show with the Mickey Mouse lookalike have pulled it off the air.

Exactly one day.

That's how long it took Disney lawyers to leave Hamas terrorists cowering in a heap on the ground, trembling and crying and begging for their lives.

Pretty impressive.

The job of Israeli prime minister is about to open up, in case anyone in Burbank is interested.
