Great show today gang.
I love Julie. Love her personality and what she brings to the show. Wish she was on more often. BUT, I respectfully disagree with her comparison of removing the Auction scene in the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction with child sex-trafficking in the U.S. and worldwide for that matter. No doubt it's a very troubling problem. Awful! But so is murder, and arson, and stealing, all of which is reflected in both the attraction and in the movies. Where does the P.C. Crusade end? Like hundreds of thousands of Disney fans, we are tired of this stuff that the leadership of the Disney corporation comes up with.
Love Ryno too, but his example of a girl crying after seeing that particular scene in the attraction maybe true, but have you ever stood at the end of the ride as people are disembarking, and see people crying? Of course not. Sure there will always be the one-millionth of one percent that an occurance such as this happens, but do you change a significant part of the attraction because of that? Pirates of the Caribbean was the very last attraction that Walt Disney himself worked on before he passed away I might add.
It's too much. Just leave things the way they are and people will be fine, including that little girl.

P.S. Look closely at the red head in the attraction and you will see that she is into it. Kind of like "Come and get it boys..." She is not distressed in the least. Not the same as the sex-trafficing problem.
P.S.S. Good discussion today. But the points I made was not articulated in the podacast so I thought I would add my meager two cents.
