I would like documentation of this.  Can you tell me where you obtained this 
information?  Disney costomer service - even their 2nd level customer 
relations department, denies this ever occurred.

Again, I totally disagree any of this is in Lion King.  It is just public 
hysteria.  Heck, people used to believe in witches.  What can I say.  I 
checked the scene, and you'd have to allow a LOT of interpretational latitude 
if you are to allow yourself to believe the word is there!  I wonder what 
you'd come up with if you went to an impressionist museum, like the Louvre, 
and tried to see "what's in the pictures" there???

Believe half of what you read, they always say.  This was a half you 
shouldn't have believed.  Hey, Time Magazine here in the states did a cover 
story about Cyberporn about 2 years ago, and has been apologizing ever since, 
since it came out 3 weeks later that the primary researcher quoted in the 
article FAKED all his data!!!  Just because it's in print, doesn't make it 
gospel.
Beware when you read magazines.  Half of what's in them is no more 
substantial than what's on an echo, or what you hear on the evening news, or 
what you read in a comic book.
