The Orange County Register, January 7, 1997:

On Thursday, Disneyland officials announced they would close Pirates of the Caribbean for two months for refurbishment, including replacing a scene of amorous pirates chasing frightened wenches.

The new scene will depict a lesser pirate vice: gluttony. [Pirates chase after food rather than women.]

Yet a tour of the park Friday suggests that Disneyland—its stabs at cultural sensitivity aside—remains vulnerable to the PC police....

On the Jungle Cruise, for example, a fake hippopotamus rears out of the water and is promptly blown away by a pistol-wielding riverboat pilot....

Jenny Woods, a representative of People for the Ethical treatment of Animals, says the exhibit is sadly outdated—especially for a corporation that has done so much to engender a love of animals.

She suggested altering the scene to: "Hippos freed from the zoo by animal liberationists."
