This is very old

This is very old (especially in web years) so i won't be surprised if i'm scolded for a possible repost, but you all have to read this. No description, just these three words: God Save Disney.

he's every shrink's dream too. two very telling quotes:

"I've also had trouble meeting women, so Ariel fills a need in me to 'have someone'. Being affected by Ariel is kind of like 'getting' religion."

Do you prefer to watch alone or in groups?
"I've never watched LM with others."

Maybe we should get these two together.

Forget "God save Disney." God save this poor guy obsessed with an animated mermaid.

jpoulos, I think you hit the nail smack, dead-on-the-head. Thanks for the laugh.

This guy has crossed the line from fan to freak. But I must admit to being a Disneyphile myself (6 trips to the Magic Kingdom in my 23 years)

"I'll also admit a fondness for playing Doom. It releases my aggression :)"

My favorite part of that quote is the smiley at the end.

This is only funny to me because he's pretty much voluntarily taken himself out of the gene pool. No chance of him breeding a little mer-army that'd wind up being the next N Sync or something equally horrible.

I bet there's lots of people this nuts about Disney stuff out there. You can't go ten minutes, especially in the States, without just happening across some Disney something somewhere, and so as religions go, it could fill all yer belief-system needs.

No matter how needy you are.

(hoping to close the small tags, but during the preview nothing appears small. Curious.)

When I went to Disney in February, there were no lines ups for the vast majority of attractions, with the exception of "Ariel's Grotto" where you stand in line in the sun for 30 or 40 minutes to have your child (or niece, in my case) sit on the mermaid's lap for long enough to get an autograph.

I'm also reasonably certain there was a alt.binaries newsgroup dedicated to dirty Disney pictures, I agree that he's probably not alone.

Aha! It's a font tag, not a small tag.
