Disney World Axes Character After 50 Years Over Fears His Name Is Offensive



Walt Disney World is reaching fever pitch when it comes to bowing down to the wishes of the super-sensitive. In their latest attempt at pandering to the forever offended, they have axed Liver Lips McGrowl, a slightly chubby brown bear with pouty lips, over concerns that his name is offensive to alcoholics. The term “liver lips” describes swollen lips due to excessive alcohol consumption. The bear — which is part of the Country Bear Jamboree — has been renamed Romeo McGrowl. The Country Bear Jamboree has been a part of the Magic Kingdom since 1971. This isn’t the first woke replacement the theme park has implemented. In 2020, Disney ordered the leveling of its Splash Mountain flume rides, deeming their references to the 1946 film “Song of the South” was “not appropriate in today’s world.”
