Teen Panty Ad Shocks Disney

Posted Apr 30, 08 12:48 PM CDT in Arts & Living Gossip 

(Newser) – Red-faced Disney execs paused their Miley Cyrus finger-wagging yesterday when asked about a billboard showcasing an underage model in Disney-themed skivvies above a Beijing subway station, Slate reports. The ad, paid for by the squeaky-clean cartoon empire, features a pig-tailed pubescent girl lounging in mouse-logo bra and panties playing with a pair of Minnie Mouse puppets.

The Disney spokeswoman leading the attack on the suggestive Cyrus photos passed the query to Disney’s consumer-products division, who also quickly passed the buck. "It has caught us totally by surprise," one exec admitted, blaming a licensee who was “supposed to submit any kind of imagery to us before it is used.”
