Baudrillard on Disneyland
"Disneyland: a space of the regeneration of the imaginary as waste-treatment plants are elsewhere, and even here. Everywhere today one must recycle waste, and the dreams, the phantasms, the historical, fairylike, legendary imaginary of children and adults is a waste product, the first great toxic excrement of a hyperreal civilization."

So, you can see my ambivalence at exposing my son to this. We'll be wearing toxic excremement-proof shoes.

Great thoughts I would've perhaps never run across. Enjoy Disney.
Remember to wipe your feet.
