Okay… so here’s the deal: My dad and I were talking about modern sex education recently. I explained to him that now majority of the films they show in my high school are old 80s films that rarely make the intended impact. Instead of learning about HPV, I recall funning about the brunette’s permed bangs!
Anywayl, he told this story about when he was in the army, and a lot of the men were known to sleep around. So they were forced watched a sex education video on STDs. Right that sounds simple, but he added that the video stared Donald Duck, who (in the video) contracts syphillus. :smack: He even detailed the sight, saying that Donald lost all his feathers.
Well, the issue at hand is my dad’s infamous reputation for pulling really bad jokes. Does anyone know whether this disturbing story is fiction or truth?
Heh heh. Perhaps that’s it. I’m sorry, I just have a hard time believing (visualizing more life) Donald Duck with syphillus. Perhaps my Dad isn’t joking… I just want to see it to believe. Thanks!
I don’t beliebe it. Disney has always been very protective of its properties, and wouldn’t use a major figure like Donald that way. The frames the above-linked site has show original cartoon characters.
Is it possible that someone is misremembering an old Warner Brothers-produced short starring Private Snafu?
I would tend to doubt this as well. Besides the fact that Disney was very protective of The Duck, considering him as big a star for them as Clark Gable was for MGM, Donald Ducks filmography is pretty well documented and it would be fairly remarkable for a short of this nature to have fallen through the historical cracks.
Yeah. When Donald got drunk and ran over a pedestrian in 1945, Walt had it hushed up and got a minor toon character to take the rap in exchange for a lifetime contract. So when Winnie the Pooh got out of stir, he went right to work on his own feature. It was his big break.
