Ron Johnson condemns the "Lego Movie" as anti-business propaganda

[Landslide Lyndon]

He is on a great start for his crushing defeat by Feingold.

He lamented what he called a "cultural attitude" that "government is good and business is bad," giving as an example the animated "LEGO" movie, in which the villain is called "Lord Business."

"That's done for a reason," Johnson said. "They're starting that propaganda, and it's insidious."

[Maxwell]

That makes no sense considering Lego is a very successful business venture.

Lord Business is also President Business, though. In the Lego Movie, the government is a corporatist union of government and a monopolist firm. If their portrayal of Lord Business is negative, should not that imply a demonization of both big business and of government?

[Ban my account ffs!]

Lord Business means business!  And Ron Johnson is a fool.

[Murica!]

He can go step on a Lego.

I like that he's criticizing a movie that is over a year old and that FOX News already criticized a year ago.

He's not only out of touch but irrelevantly out of touch.

Nothing says anti-business like a 2 hour commercial for a corporate product!

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Remember when Fox criticised the last Batman film, because the villain was called Bane, and people thought that was attacking Mitt Romney? Good times.

He should write a letter to Disney. They proved you can build an commercial empire on anti-business, animal-rights, politically-correct fluff. It's legal crack for the masses.

I don't know what he expects entertainment companies to sell. Educational life lessons? People want feel good pap. That's the point of family fiction.

Wasn't old Walt a union buster?

And I've never picked up a PETA vibe from Disney. You bitching about Cruella De Ville or something?

I kno rite?  When I think 'anti-business', I immediately think of the Disney corporation.

You are giving Aggragate Demand WAY too much credit.

Considering Disney's resorts and theme parks are basically low-wage service sector sweatshops covered in a patina of Tinkerbell's glitter, I'm pretty sure there is no commie ulterior motive hidden in their movies. Seriously, there are some really depressing articles out there about how the woman selling you Mickey Mouse ears is living in a by-the-month motel room she shares with two other people.

[freepcrusher]

i didn't see the lego movie as anti-business per se but more of a modern take on Huxley's "Brave New World"

Even large profitable corporations aren't pro-corporation enough for this soon to be ex Senator.
