Disney’s Degrading Booby Test: Imagine if Walmart Did This
by John NolteHollywood isn’t an institution filled only with hypocrites, it’s an institution filled with scumbag hypocrites. Annually we are showered with Leftist films created by morally superior beings who lecture us on human rights, civil rights, feminism, lookism, racism and any other “ism” they can conceive, when in real life they’re the very worst in all of these departments.
Hollywood isn’t just an industry that preaches in practice and on film against tax cuts for the wealthy as they themselves use their lobbying power to secure every scrap of corporate welfare they can get their hands on; this isn’t just an industry that celebrated its own “progressivism” for finally awarding an Oscar to a black man and woman in leading roles decades after mainstream Americans had made black men and women wealthy movie stars by fully embracing them; this also is an industry that produces sanctimonious feminist crap like “North Country” while behaving like the worst kind of sexist pigs imaginable behind the scenes:
Disney is searching for real treasure chests for its upcoming shoot of the next “Pirates of the Caribbean” swashbuckler — that is, women with natural breasts.
The movie studio has banned actresses with artificial enhancements for the fourth installment, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” directed by Rob Marshall and starring Johnny Depp as the drunken buccaneer Jack Sparrow.
The filmmakers sent out a casting call last week seeking “beautiful female fit models. Must be 5ft7in-5ft8in, size 4 or 6, no bigger or smaller. Age 18-25. Must have a lean dancer body. Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants.”
And they warn that there’ll be a “show and tell” day.
To make sure LA talent scouts don’t get caught in a “booby trap,” potential lassies will have to undergo a Hollywood-style jiggle-your-jugs test and jog for judges. If there’s nothing moving from the waist up, they’re saying, it’s a dead giveaway that you’re not all flesh and bones — and you’re out.
Apparently, the bouncier the better, especially for sword-fighting action sequences, according to the Sunday Times of London.
This isn’t some sleazy porn peddler in the valley doing this, this is…Disney.
DISNEY is going to subject and exploit young women desperate to be stars to the indignity of a booby ”show and tell.” DISNEY is going to have them jog in place for producers and casting agents in order to keep score of the bounciness of their breasts.
This story is two days old and yet there hasn’t been a peep of feminist uproar. Where’s Meryl Streep, Sally Field, Charlize Theron, Barbra Streisand and “The View?” Where’s Diane Sawyer, Katie Couric, HuffPo and MSNBC?
Where’s The Feminist of the Day?
The young and desperate eager for the validation that they believe will come with being famous will always be with us. Which is why it’s the responsibility of those with authority and power in Hollywood to make sure they’re not exploited and degraded.
Everyday Hollywood looks out for their bottom line with discriminatory decisions considered illegal everywhere else. Race, gender and physical appearance almost always comes before considering the qualifications of a potential hire (i.e. screen presence and acting ability).
What’s Disney’s excuse for doing this, and what’s all of Hollywood’s excuse for looking the other way…
Our product will make more money with jiggling boobs.
That is no doubt the case. But why is show business allowed that excuse to increase profits and not any other American business? Couldn’t Walmart use that same rationale to discriminate? Of course they could. Hot-looking, braless cashiers in low-cut blouses would be as big a draw for the retailer as it is for the movie theatre.
But you can bet the house that such a corporate decision would not only bring a storm of litigation and indignant news coverage, but also the inevitable high-profile piece of cinematic Oscar-bait damning corporate America for treating women like slabs of meat. And that this film would almost assuredly star a woman who had better be a size 4 on the first day of shooting there is no doubt.
Over to you feminists…

The cries of sexism from Hollywood are yet another instance of psychological projection. They protect themselves from being accused by being the first to accuse others.
Since the 90's Disney was producing soft porn, were they not?
I certainly ain't surprised. Feminists don't care about women's issues, they only care about liberal women's issues.
It's the same way with every organization on the left. Don't hold your breath waiting for any kind of justice from liberals. Ain't gonna happen.
Since there is no apparent outcry from the Uberfeminazilesbistapoettes over this apalling affront to the dignity of all carbon-based life forms, I'll fill some space here with a request: Where can I get an employment application to work in this particular casting office at Disney?
As long as the Hollywood scumbag hypocrites are going to provide such "shovel ready" jobs, I'll take one to supplement my meager income. I'm going to need the extra jing to pay my soon-to-be much higher taxes, and also to pay bribes to the clerks at hospital admissions, the way they have learned to do in all the other socialized medicine countries in the world.
By the way, watch the first "Pirates" movie with the commentary by Knightley. She makes a big deal about the fact that her cleavage in the film was all smoke and mirrors – or, literally, makeup and padding. Like, she mentions it constantly. Self-conscious, much?
Feminists usually don't have fake breasts — for them, this is a vote for their side. And as far as I know, all the women you listed as remaining surprisingly silent on the issue are also "un-enhanced". Maybe they're all tired of the Pamela Anderson (who I think looked far sexier before she hyper inflated herself) crowd getting all the intention. Incidentally, the woman in the picture, Kiera Knightly, had public commented on the less than average size of hers in regards to the Pirate's movies…
Also, size 4 or 6 according to what clothier? I think size 6 means something different in LA than it does here in OKC.
I am not surprised. Disgusted, but not surprised. We really need steal control of our media back from these hypocrites. It would definitely improve the quality of movies in general.
If they need help in the evaluation process, I am available. And I will be outraged, OUTRAGED! on behalf of the many, many lovely young actresses jiggling their boobs in front of me the entire time.
Yeah, but those lips are definitely blow-ups. They're only vaguely lip-shaped. Looks like she's trying to eat two Vienna sausages at the same time.
This whole conversation gets on my tits!
Wow John, I sure am glad you pulled your punches on this one. Seriously, you point out just about everything I don't like about Hollywood. Scumbag hypocrites sums it up rather nicely. Still, Disney? . . . Disney?? We're talking about Disney!!! (all said with alan Iverson inflection, of course.)
I share a birthday with the late great Uncle Walt. I feel the man who brought us Davey Crockett and the original Parent Trap would be turning over in his grave.
Well my CGI actresses are 100% fake… even the female characters I've written are 'vat grown' human clones! With sexual enhancement figures… & the males are rough and tumble!!! If only the feminists would come after me!!
At least that hypocricy isn't in comicbooks!!!
Where is the outrage? The same as Congressional pensions and healthcare. The feminists exempt themselves from whatever standards they subject the rest of us to. Moral outrage? From Hollywood? A bunch of emoting hacks incapable of thinking for themselves only interpreting what they read! They cannot reason; only emotionally investing in their part. Single digit IQ's earning millions of dollars by being 100% fake. What a country.
Knowing your NAZI proclivities, Ive given that remark a thumbdown.
The hypocrisy of the feminists – 'it's not a crime if our side does it' – was shoved in my face when I saw Gloria Steinem keep her yap shut after Clinton made a young girl suck his c*ck. So seeing her yap sealed shut over this 'do your breasts move?' horror is no surprise. Disgust, yes – surprise, no.
Wake me up when Hollywood requires REAL TALENT in their schlock-fests…
Size 4. What a laugh. Real women begin at 8: Eight is great, nine divine, and ten… well, I'd die with a smile on my face.
Well, Walt would turn over IF he was in a grave, but I think he's frozed somewhere in a cylinder…
We all know already who he thinks the "foreign creeps" are.
But….but….they are artists and their cause is noble.
Surely you can't try to apply your pedestrian bourgeoisie morality to The Arts?
As for being hypocrites? How can they be hypocrites when they have no code of moral behavior?
They only have rules for others, not themselves. They issue rules that others have to follow.
I am with you on that, Huc. Bones are for the dog, meat is for the man..
Christina Hendricks….I rest my case.
O.K. then, when they figure out how to bring him back and unthaw him, I'll bet he is really going to be pissed off.
Rats! You stole my comment.
I, too, am horribly outraged!
"Feminists usually don't have fake breasts — "
Ha, ha! Go to an institution of higher learning in this country and look for feminists.
They're the ones that don't bathe, brush their teeth or comb their hair.
They have that look—feminist frump.
Did you know that Israeli women have gorgeous, soft, large and beautiful breasts?
I see you've been hitting the Schnapps early today.
Hollywood discriminates against its own workers all the time. While making films that blast corporations for being greedy and arbitrarily laying off employees (Wall Street, etc), the film industry is the absolutely worst offender. They hire and fire at will and if someone does not meet expectations, he's out. That day.
I know a DP who arrived on the set one day and noticed his crew was not there. He was told, "Oh, didn't you hear? They didn't like your dailies. You're out. A new guy and his crew are replacing you. Get out."
And although this article is about the Disney organization, it could be about any film production company. How long did Cameron work to get the breasts just right for his non-mammalian cartoon characters/avatars? I wonder how many different animators he went through before finding the one who could get the jiggle just right.
Really, though, every casting call, every crew call, is discriminatory. People are denied employment in the liberal film industry every day even as phony do-gooders like Matt Damon, Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Danny Glover, et.al. march arm in arm in Venezuela, Haiti or Cuba for the "little guy." And when it's over in Hollywoodland, you are unemployed. On the street, looking for the next job. They use people, then spit them out. They don't care about their retirement, health care or any other aspects of the well being of those who work in the Hollywood system.
The best part of this article, though, is illuminating us to the hypocrisy of what would happen to a real business if it made employees jog in place in a bikini to see how their breasts jiggle. It boggles the mind.
Yes! Absolutely! She's the real woman, and all the rest are imitations. lol.
"Pirates of the Caribbean IV: Sparrow Finds Hooters"?
Word. Women who look like they have an eating disorder are not exactly attractive to mass market folks…
He goes from RUm to Beer and Chicken Wings
I'm actually torn. I think Disney could have a legit point, that obvious enhancements would not be historically accurate in a period piece. I realize that "Pirates" is a-historical in about a zillion ways, but still… a pair of gargantuan cement stripper-boobs would look silly. THAT SAID… I believe Hollywood still exploits women in a way that no other industry could today, from the "casting couch" to the phasing out of actresses' careers once they are in their 30s.
WWWD?
John,
Instapundit and Reason had a piece some weeks ago on the MSM and copyright. These companies are in bed with the left on an intimate political level for practical gain:
See http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/68817/
Shouldn't we be pushing the Republicans to go after the new much more industry friendly copyright laws which were implemented some years ago at the behest of the studios? Isn't this a lever which could get the attention of the totally profit driven production companies?
We've been moaning about the culture for years now, with virtually no solutions being proposed. Given the take no prisoners tactics we're up against, isn't it time to start fighting back in ways which will get their attention?
I say return the copyright laws to what they were during Hollywood's golden age. If those laws were good enough to them it should be good enough for Hollywood now.
"What’s Disney’s excuse for doing this, and what’s all of Hollywood’s excuse for looking the other way…
Our product will make more money with jiggling boobs."
So, if I go out and gain about 50 lbs, I can get a part in the next Pirates movie? Kickass!
With the height and dress size they want for this actress, I think they may find there won't be much boobage there to work with. They'll definitely have to do some lifting and padding. Ultimately, what we see on the screen will be artificial.
About that, Ron, you got some talent. I commend you for your good work.
The only issue feminists care about is whether or not they are allowed to kill their unborn babies.
A sitting female governor, mother, wife and career woman gets savaged by the MSM. Not a peep from NOW or any other feminist enclave. All because she chose not to kill her baby with Down's Syndrome.
Feminists are worthless….
You're not really Jesus are you? If you are… well, let me put it this way… You are a LIAR, a manipulator, and think its soooo funny.
I'm afraid that I cannot, in good conscience, join in with your condemnation this time, John. I really like Disney's approach here. A lot.
Well, I like the idea of rejecting the women with fake breasts for the part. I want my daughter to know that real breasts are more desirable than fake ones.
How nice to know that now at least one studio thinks audiences prefer real breasts to fake ones.
To me this is comparable to rejecting athletes who have used steroids. We want our own sons not to use steroids, so it is better if the media star/ role models don't use them.
I hope they just think they are doing a good thing by not promoting unrealistic boobage in their films. That's the only good viewpoint I could see, but they would still be discriminating again women with implants. What right do they have to say a woman can't have implants? What if she had a radical double mastectomy?
"All because she chose not to kill her baby with Down's Syndrome."
Nobody gives a damn about Palin not having an abortion. They care about her using it as some kind of rationale for why no one else should get to have them.
I haven't spent any of my hard earned money on Disney for about 15 years now. Mr. Depp is one of the reasons.
Any actor who desecrates the memory of my NAVY family's valor in time of war doesn't need an audience to pay for their crap filled mouths. Hollywood is bleeding money pretty good after Matt Damon and Hanks useful idiot comments.
You must mean BreitBärt…not BreitBart.
I think you have the wrong website.
The umlaut makes all the difference in the world, comrade.
So you agree that feminists only care about being allowed to kill babies?
Or are you saying that Palin doesn't view killing babies the same way that feminists do, therefore she doesn't deserve feminist support?
If it's for the sake of "authenticity" — and laughable demand for a pirate movie about ghosts and supernatural powers — why aren't they testing for real teeth, real body fat, or real hair?
That's what I was thinking. A woman who is 5'7" or 5'8" and wears a size 4 or 6 is going to be very lean, a B-cup at most.
I will still go and see this because it's based on "On Stranger Tides."
Also, fake boobs, real boobs, who cares…if I can touch them, they're real.
Maybe the feminists in academia and the real world don't have fake breasts, but I'm betting there are oodles of silicone-enhanced feminists in Hollywood, starting with Jane Fonda.
Hollywood has always ingnored the fact that they are an industry. More examples of hypocracy:
– As stated: Award Oscars to minorities. The self congradulation during the Oscar award to Halle Berry (who did NOT diserve in my un-educated opinion) was sickening. They were all so estatic that they had overcome bigotry. But, of course, the bigotry they overcame was their own. Hollywood (Academy of Motion Picture Artists) awards the Oscars.
- Hollywood has mythologized their suffering and brave stand against the McCarthy black listing. The US Government did NOT publish a black list forbidding the employment of certain named actors, screen writers, and directors. The Government did not have the authority to do anything of the kind. (though wait awhile – the current administration and congress just may try it). Hollywood, or at least the studio executives, blacklisted people in order to placate corporate sponsors and to break the leftist dominated unions.
- Finally, I just LOVE actresses like Jane Fonda who made their career on their looks (Barbarella?) and then complain how there are no good parts for older women when they age.
You can find integrity in Hollywood, but only in individuals. The industry as a whole is thoroughly corrupt.
My favorite example. When Amadeus premired in San Franscisco, a local union was picketing the Theatre. F. Murray Abrams refused to cross the line. Remember that he was not a well known actor before this. Amadeus was his big break.
You know, Christina Hendricks would make one hell of a pirate wench but it seems this casting call would exclude her. Idiots.
AHHHH, another amercian institution that will do ANYTHING for money…. just like them giving casey Anthony 200K for pictures of her MURDERED DAUGHTER… they only care about ONE THING themselves… you think that the femenists will do anything?? yeah maybe go on that casting couch…
Amen. Those Jewish girls, especially the ones from the IDF, are bonafide hotties.
My outrage is thrice that of yours, so I should be hired.
The author has it backward. Feminists are usually against implants, because implants degrade women by making them sex objects. So by feminist reasoning, Disney's banning of implants plays into the feminist agenda. The offense would be if Disney required a minimum bust size, not by banning implants.
So whynot have the women try on the costumes to see if they fit rather than forcing them to disrobe and jump around like they're trying out for The Man Show?
I'm with the minority here. I know "it's Disney" and that's the point. They are trying to show that they want women who are at least more natural than the norm in Hollywood. Of course their size vs. height requirement will guarantee some stick insect women…
On the whole I understand what they are getting at. It is Disney and they are trying to set an example for girls to be happy with what God gave them.
Disney is probably looking for authenticity. They didn't have breast implants in the pirate days
What's the big deal?.
[...] here to see the original: Disney’s Degrading Boobie Test: Imagine if Walmart Did This This entry is filed under America – Blogs, Big Hollywood. You can follow any responses to this [...]
Latest word: the ghosts will have to submit to the boob jiggle test too.
If Disney is doing this to stop the objectification in it's Pirates movies, then fine.
But the question remains, why force them to disrobe and shake their boobs?
Come on! Fake boobs were not invented yet. This is all about the historical accuracy…
BWAHahahahaha… Sorry I could not keep a straight face.
No, actually, she didn't use it as any rationale to force anyone else to do anything. She had the baby, and those of us who actually like babies celebrated. The left went insane. Palin didn't do anything but have that baby and then plan to advocate for special needs kids. If she leads by example that's not tyranny.
Now if they could do something about her pushed-in nose…..
this was the admittance test to the back room of the Viper Club in LA for years…
Ask Johnny Depp. Or River Phoenix. Check that- River didn't survive the club, unfortunately. But you had to lay down and pass the pencil test. We won't go into any more details, needless it 'outs' implants.
We were always interested in where the rejects went…
I can only pay them 100 bucks an hour for the job, a little bit more if I
need to use my hands for a tie breaker.
You ain't never gonna be a size 4-6 Darkwolf.
Disney would dry-up and blow away if red staters refused to go to their theme parks or to their movies.
Sarah made it harder for them to assuage their guilt.
Better real boobs than fake ones.
A
That was me all through high school and college although i did go up to an 8 because I was a heptathlete on the track team in college. There was no way to avoid adding that muscle.
How many women are raped, abused, mutilated and killed every single day in muslim countries? Where are the feminazis to defend them and fight for their rights?
This is true, but I bet I can out-ggle them all!
Truffle shuffle anyone?
Exactly, so they decided to go after her and her family. And not a word from any feminists about it.
And a redhead to boot. I wonder if the carpet and drapes match?
argh
what? this isn't a horror movie? oops.. my bad.
So, what methodology are the casting people going to use to ensure that the women applying are "real"?
Hollywood has promoted an impossible Barbie doll image for girls for years. Normal women cannot be skinny and have huge breasts. Women undergoing major surgery in order to feel OK about their appearance is a problem. This is a good thing, hope it catches on. And if these women are going to be fitted for costumes they are going to be seen anyway, what's the big deal?
Frankly my dear, I don't give a hoot.
Disney was done the moment they instituted "Gay Days" at the theme parks. Mr. Walt has to be rolling over in his grave.
Tennessee Jed, I also share a birthday with Uncle Walt – December 5th! Great people are born that day, right?
LOL!
And yes, chances are he's rolling over in his grave . . . or is it his cryo unit? LOL!
This is not my father's Disney, in fact, it's not my Disney. I grew up in the days of Davey Crockett, Old Yeller and all the other great Disney movies. And I loved the animation. It just aint the same anymore. More's the pity.
A tempest in a C cup.
I don't think they're looking for "moobs"
<sarc> I miss "The Man Show"….especially the "Girls Jumping on Trampolines" segment </sarc>
Seriously, on that Undercover Boss show, I saw people on the street accosting Hooters girls handing out fliers, with the opinion that \”Hooters exploits women.\” I kept wondering why one of these girls didn't point out that these people had no right to decide that they were being exploited….\”I appreciate your concern, but I have the right to be \”exploited\” if I choose…Obviously, if I felt \”exploited\” I wouldn't be here, and I therefore resent your sanctimonious interference with my livelihood! Your opinion infantilizes me, in much the same way that people once justified slavery.

I knew it! Discrimination! Nolte's right, Disney's run by Boobists!
indeed.. "exploit" is yet another word that has lost its true meaning from over and innapropriate use.
I'm sorry, but I've said this for years. Nothing worse than a period piece and the girl has medicine balls stuffed under her skin. The "show and tell day" is a bit icky, but I don't mind an actress being told, "Congrats for spending thousands on those things, but you aren't getting a slot in our movie."
That said, Kiera is tiny, tiny and I would pick her in an instant for a return. I don't care about size. I just don't want to see plastic in the time period. Also, the only good Pirates film was the first one. Get back to basics or don't even continue.
Are people with enough intelligence to type actually taking the position that this about historical accuracy? So ghosts and octopus faces are a go, but not firm bosoms?
You got to be kidding.
I know a high schooler writing his term paper about how Disney cartoons promote prostitution. I'm not sure about that one… but Disney isn't clean anymore. And sexist too – who knew?
Interesting. I'd never heard of her before…and now: ME LIKEE!
Nope, sorry. It isn't limited to Pirates movies. And, don't be absurd by bringing in ghosts and octopi. There's such a thing as internal consistency. There are monsters on the high seas in the films–that's understood–but there are not plastic surgeons waiting in the port.
By the way, is your faith in your own premise so shaky that you have to come out firing both barrels at a loyal reader just because he disagrees?
Excellent point, Hank.
