Question for May 5?, 2000 - August 25?, 2000:

Hey since I'll be in Orlando much of the summer I thought perhaps I would do a Disney Theme

Which would you rather be trapped in "It's a Small World" with...  

Scar, the evil lion from "The Lion King"

OR

Al, the fat guy from "Toy Story 2"

 

Details:

  • "It's a Small World" is a ride in Disney World with little electronic people representing the different cultures of the world, and they sing "It's a Small World." This question was inspired because you float in a boat down a river, and once my family actually was stuck in this ride for 30 minutes or so because all the boats stopped (we were stuck in Africa.)
  • If you haven't seen either of these movies, please drop whatever you are doing and go rent them right now (is Toy Story 2 available?) Both Scar and Al are the villains of their respective movies but differ greatly in how they practice their villainy. And remember, Scar's not cool kids, he's evil and is something of a Hitler character as we see him incite his followers (the hyenas) to do his whim. But there's no hyenas here except the electronic ones you'd find in Africa of "It's a Small World."

RESULTS:

Al: 4
Scar: 2

For the first time in the history of WWYRBTW, only one respondent replied, although under numerous pseudonyms. This is particularly a feat when you consider this question was probably up longer than any other.

Name: Cleophus T Jenkins(Taylor)
Choice: Al
Comments: Fat people are cool.

Name: Anne N. Nimus
Choice: Al
Comments: Scar always scared me when I was younger. I wouldn't like to be stuck with him, it might bring back the bad dreams or something. Hehehehe

Name: Pat C. Klein
Choice: Al
Comments: I think on the inside, Al was actually a nice guy.

Name: Curie S George
Choice: Al
Comments: I have no idea who Al is so surely he's the less formidable of the two

Name: Mark Twain
Choice: Scar
Comments: I would choose Scar, for obvious reasons.

Disclaimer: The following expresses the views of John Taylor, insofar as he is impersonating Al Sharpton for comic purposes only.

Name: Rev. Al Sharpton
Choice: Scar
Comments: Well you see, the white man would want you to choose Scar. With his nappy brown hair, the evil Scar represents the black man. To say that Scar is evil, is to say that the black man is evil. But to me, it is Al that scares me. Al is a white man and deep down inside every white man is a biggot, who wants to dominate the black man & make him his slave. It is for this reason that I choose to be with Scar. I will stand tall with my brother in defiance of the white man. And I ask you my brothers to stand with me. Stand with me in defiance of the white man. Stand with me and Scar, and show the world that it is really Al, the white man, that is the root of all evil.
