Slate PR Kids who play Club Penguin helped fund a new school in Haiti, which includes a mural, above, and a playground. Blackyyee owes his success to Daniel Trainor, 5.

Disney's 'Tangled' Takes On the Serious Issue of Emotional Child Abuse
By Jeffrey Weiss - Politics DailyA week or so ago, thousands of Facebook users changed their identifying photos to cartoon characters in a vague attempt to "raise awareness" of child abuse. Ironically, at the same time a new hit movie was using animation to focus on the same subject in a more sophisticated manner. The movie? Disney's "Tangled." No kidding. Slipped inside the gorgeous images, entertaining songs and fairy-tale narrative is a clear-eyed look at the way predatory abusers maintain control of their victims. The villain may be Disney's skin-crawlingly nastiest because her evil is so un-magically human. [SPOILER ...
Just How Perfect Is Disney's Celebration?
By Dave Thier - AOL News(Dec. 2) -- Murder has hit the community that Disney designed as an ultra-American wonderland. But while Celebration may feature Bing Crosby-laced foliage and front-porch rocking chairs, this isn't the first time the harsh realities of the rest of the world have crept into the Utopian community. The Walt Disney Co. developed the central Florida town in the late 1990s to be a real-world manifestation of its midcentury image of American values, as if "Main Street, USA" inside Disney World had become a fully functioning community. Designed for low-density, upscale housing, the town looks like a ...

The Target Boycott Dilemma: Where to Shop Now?
By Sandra Fish - Politics DailyThe news that Target donated $150,000 to a group supporting an anti-gay Minnesota gubernatorial candidate presents a conundrum. Growing up in the Midwest, one of the highlights of the Sunday newspaper was the Target circular: What's on sale this week? When my stepdaughter moved to Grand Junction, Colo., for a time a few years ago, her first complaint was this: "There's only one Target." Even jaded Manhattanites are reveling in the opening of their first Target store in East Harlem.
