clipped from: Beer Ad Shows 'Ho White' and 7 Dwarves
Disney is reportedly up in arms over an Australian beer ad that depicts Snow White and the seven dwarves in bed.
The Telegraph reports
that in the ad for Jamieson's Raspberry Ale, Snow White is shown
blowing smoke rings while lying in bed with half-clothed dwarves. But
she's been renamed "Ho White" and dwarves Sleepy, Happy and Doc have
been renamed Filthy, Smarmy and Randy.

Australian ad agency the Foundry told Sydney's Daily Telegraph
that it wanted to promote the beer as "anything but sweet." The Foundry
claims that it had "a little bit of contact" with Disney regarding the
ad.
A Web site promoting the new ad had reportedly been set up
at anythingbutsweet.com, but the site appears to have been pulled down
since the controversy began.
Disney, which owns the copyright for Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, has not issued a comment about the ad.
