A Magical Journey Begins for 100 High School Students Headed to Disney's Dreamers Academy
Walt Disney World Resort and Celebrity Radio Personality Steve Harvey Announce Participants
(November 14, 2007) Walt Disney World Resort will open the doors of the magic behind Disney to 100 creative and imaginative teens from New York to New Orleans, from Compton, CA., to Wichita, that is, from all across the United States, who have been selected to participate in Disney's Dreamers Academy. Disney worked with nationally syndicated radio personality Steve Harvey to create this innovative program.
Okay, so I checked out the list. Fortunately, with 100 participants its easy to do the stats. So how does their participant breakdown work for the United States? A full 6% of the people on the list come from the Western United States - and every single one of them comes from a city in southern California within 100 miles of Anaheim. So basically, all around the United States translates into the east coast and LA.
It's bad enough taking this biased view of the US from sports writers, but do we have to endure it from corporate giants like Disney as well. 6 people west of the Mississippi represent over half the nation. Pathetic.
First thing they should teach these kids is some geography. Who knows? Maybe they'll learn something themselves.

Nothing of import happens between the Appalachians and Sierra Nevada. Didn't you know that? Unless, of course, it's growing food and stuff. Otherwise, we Hinterlanders pretty much suck.
Cheers.
Well, at least we have all those Hollywood celebs and Scientologist to keep us warm at night. ;)
