Until, that is, last week. My lovely stepdaughter Michelle gave me a Mickey Mouse coffee mug about three years ago for Father's Day. Being familiar with the famous rodent, and having seen nearly every cartoon, every picture, drawing, design, theme or merchandise dedicated to or affiliated with the Disney icon, I was stunned when I noticed an unusually suggestive design element.
Mickey Mouse seems to be gesturing towards his private parts! I had to do a double-take, and didn't believe my eyes at first, but here it is:
He seems to be saying something like "Oh yeah...? Well check THESE out...!" or "Get up on these....!" or maybe "Here's the REAL happiest place...!"Regardless, I can't believe I never noticed it.
