disney och FBI

[Per Starback]

Fast är det verkligen särskilt vanligt att folk tror att Walt var nån
slags mysgubbe?

> att ingen inte ens fick ha mustasch på kontoret!

Det där med mustaschen har jag hört förut och det tror jag är en myt.
Om inte annat kan man se flera mustaschprydda män (inte bara Walt
själv) på gamla fotografier från studion, osv.

Jag googlade lite nu och hittade upplysningar om att anställda på
nöjesparkerna inte har fått ha mustascher sen 1957. Det låter
som en rimligare uppgift. Denna källa berättar om hur detta
mustaschförbud nu lättas:

>  The ban was introduced by Disney as part of a campaign to

>  All male workers at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, Walt Disney

>  Apart from Disney himself having a moustache, the clean-shaven
