I practically live next door to Tokyo Disneyland (Dizuneerando for the Japanese!) so Mickey Mouse is a part of my everyday life - and usually makes for some amusing stuff. The Disney brand is obviously one of the most licensed names in the history of mankind. I should know, I used to work in the licensing industry in direct competition with Disney. So I am used to getting on the train and seeing Disney bags, Mickey ears, Minnie Tees, Donald Duck plush heads, Goofy costumes etc. I did not expect to see Mickey in the kitchen electrical appliance department of my local supermarket.
Is nothing sacred?
