I have to agree.  Disney has *never* admitted or even replied to the 
accusations that there was anything obscene on any of it's Little Mermaid 
artwork.  However, certain people predisposed to think in nasty terms can and 
do probably see porn caricatures everywhere, and Disney product is no 
exception for them.  I really feel sorry for the people who have nothing 
better to do then to try to scream "porn" when dealing with Disney artwork, 
or the soundtrack of Aladden, or whatever.  If these people want to crusade, 
they should crusade against something important and leave innocent stuff 
alone.
...And besides, who says porn is bad anyways?  I mean, Jeez.  Some of the 
most beautiful ladies I've ever seen in the movies are in porn movies!  :-)
Ooops...looks like I had soapbox mode on.  Well, it's off now...  *grin*
