Anyone else think this is better than The Lion King?

Considering what happened when girls fell for Jean-Paul Sartre using that exact message (I'll tell you one thing: They certainly ignored his donkey-ugly face, and it's no insult as even Sartre himself acknowledged he was physically hideous), sorry, but I'm pretty cynical about that message coming from ANYWHERE, much less that film, (yeah, you heard me, I also have a major problem with it regarding Shrek and The Hunchback of Notre Dame largely because I still remember how those girls were manipulated by Sartre and then tossed out like garbage, and they clearly didn't even focus on his looks when they fell for him. Looked beyond the surface, yet still got manipulated. Can you blame me for being cynical about the message? Heck, I'll even post a post making it clear as if it wasn't already clear enough as it was: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-559137/Dangerous-liaisons-sex-teens-The-story-Sartre-Beauvoir-told-before.html And this was coming from someone who DID learn to adopt that idea when I was a kid and looked up to it.). I will admit, there are people who are hideous on the outside yet are beautiful on the inside, like Mother Teresa, but that's unfortunately rare.

I was born in 1990. Hunger in Africa had existed since, what, the 1970s, 1980s even? It happened before I was even born. I also don't have any control over poverty, natural disasters or any of that, any more than you or Anonymous Fox do. And as far as the US Presidential Election, those happened even before I was born, and if anything, I actually voted both times AGAINST Obama in the two elections I DID have involvement in (2008: John McCain; 2012: Mitt Romney), so don't blame me for Obama being elected into office if that's what you're referring to.
Fine, you hate me, but don't blame me for stuff that I obviously had no control over. I'm not going to blame you for the US presidential election, natural disasters, poverty, or Hunger in Africa, because I know you aren't responsible for that (and before you decide to remind me of the atheism bit, let me remind you that unlike those examples, you ARE in control of that bit, and you can choose to not become an atheist, and actually go out and try to LEARN about religion and its benefits). I wish you would extend the same common courtesy.
And I'm just stating why I'm cynical about the message. Next time, read that link and THEN reply to that link, instead of making a non-sequitor. I'm getting sick and tired of you going out of your way to bash anyone who disagrees with you even slightly.
