I was surprised that the responce to the Disney post was so mild, I 
was expecting a flamewar to ingnite then and there. 

Maybe people are tired of that.   (i hope)

I'm still not sure if 
the author was joking or not; if it was satire, he was a bit too damn 
subtle about it.

Well, you have to take it at base value.  Its either a hallarious attack on 
the masses of unsuspecting Disneyites, or a hallarious display of pure 
ignorance.  Either way, its nothing to get upset about.  Its a joke, 
regardless of what the author thinks...

   Another thing - would anyone be interested in the original dozen Tales 
from the Blau Teufel stories? They aren't exactly fanfics, but they have 
a nicely chaotic anime feel to them, and I like to think "We don't do 
Okonomiyaki" was well recieved on the ML. Let me know.

I would!!
