Yes, folks, his name isn’t Ferdinand and I know where the confusion came from.
When Shirley Temple presented Walt with his special Oscars in 1938, she mentioned “Snow White and the seven dwarves, Ferdinand, and all the others.”
Shirley wasn’t referring to the Prince, she was referring to “Ferdinand the Bull”, a Disney short that came out the same year and won the Academy Award for Best Short Subject at the same Oscar.
I’ve asked Dave Smith (founder of the Walt Disney Archives), who is considered by the Walt Disney Company to be the final authority on matters of Disney history. He’s told me that he was never ever given a name by any of the crew on Snow White.
YES! THANK YOU!!!
Ferdinand is a Bull. NOT a Prince.
Okay everyone, let’s make it our New Years resolution to be more…Dapper.

Hey, fair’s fair.
Brilliant. I love how most of them are doing the weird curved back pose that most superhero comic book ladies seem to be perpetually stuck in.
Wow. So amazing as so, so true.

Dear Customer who stuck up for his little brother,
you thought I didn’t really notice. But I did. I wanted to high-five you.
Yesterday I had a pair of brothers in my store. One was maybe between 15-17. He was a wrestler at the local high school. Kind of tall, stocky and handsome. He had a younger brother, who was maybe about 10-12 years old. Thy were talking about finding a game for the younger one, and he was absolutely insisting it be one with a female charcter. I don’t know how many of y’all play games, but that isn’t exactly easy. Eventually, I helped the brothers pick a game called Mirror’s Edge. The youngest was pretty excited about the game, and then he specifically asked me.. “Do you have any girl color controllers?”I directed him to the only colored controllers we have which includes pink and purple ones. He grabbed the purple one, and informed me purple was his FAVORITE.
The boys had been taking awhile, so their father eventually comes in. He see’s the game, and the controller, and starts in on the youngest about how he needs to pick something different. Something more manly. Something with guns and fighting, and certainly not a purple controller. He tries to convince him to get the new Zombie game “Dead Island.” and the little boy just stands their repeating “Dad, this is what I want, ok?” Eventually it turns into a full blown argument complete with Dad threatening to whoop his son if he doesn’t choose different items.
That’s when big brother stepped in. He said to his Dad “It’s my money, it’s my gift to him, if it’s what he wants I’m getting it for him, and if your gonna hit anyone for it, it’s going to be me.”
Dad just gives his oldest son a strong stern stare down, and then leaves the store. Little brother is crying quietly, I walk over and ruffle his hair (yes this happened all in front of me.) I say “I’m a girl, and I like the color blue, and I like shooting games. There’s nothing wrong with what you like. Even if it’s different that what people think you should.”
Big brother then leans down, kisses little brother on the head, and says “Don’t worry dude.”
They check out and leave, and all I can think is how awesome big brother is, how sweet little brother is, and how Dad ought to be ashamed for trying to make his son any other way.

License To Bully of the Day: A controversial bill aimed at providing schools with additional tools to fight bullying passed this week in the Michigan Senate, despite being opposed by all 11 Democrats and the father of the boy who inspired the legislation.
A last-minute addition to “Matt’s Safe School Law” protects “sincerely held” religious beliefs or moral convictions from being considered bullying. Critics feel the language will give anti-gay bullies a “license to bully” by providing an exception. ”This is just unconscionable,” said Matt’s father, Kevin Epling of East Lansing. “This is government-sanctioned bigotry.”
Matt Epling committed suicide in 2002 as a result of unbearable torment he received at the hands of bullies.
In an impassioned speech on the Senate floor, Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer chastised her colleague for approving the legislation. “There are at least 10 Michigan children in the past decade whose deaths are directly attributable to bullying,” she told Senate Republicans. “But had this bill that you’re gonna pass today been law in effect while they were alive, how many of their deaths would have been prevented? Zero.”
“This bill may not be perfect, but it certainly gets us on the road to making sure that local communities pay attention to this problem and put a policy in place,” said Republican state Sen. Rick Jones, the bill’s sponsor. Jones told the Lansing State Journal “he could have done without that language,” but said it was necessary ” to make sure First Amendment rights weren’t being violated.”
Equality Michigan has launched a petition aimed at convincing the Michigan House of Representatives to reject the Senate’s version of the bill.
Stupid. Sign the petition. Stay involved. No more death. No more bullying.
