So, as everyone knows, Walt Disney loved trains. He loved them so much he built a mini ridable train in his backyard and excitedly showed it to everyone that came over to his house. He made sure that in the theme parks, especially his futuristic utopia of EPCOT, the main way of getting around had to be trains. So, with this in mind,

WHY THE FUCK DIDNT DISNEY LOBBY THE US GOVERNMENT INTO HAVING A BETTER TRAIN SYSTEM!!!!?!???!?!!! The Federal-Aid Highway Act, arguably the start of today's god awful car and highway dependency, was passed in 1956. Walt died in 1966 (lung cancer cause he smoked a ton). This man had tons of influence over the country, having a fucking tv show where he addressed the audience and encouraged everyone watching to call him "Uncle Walt". He absolutely couldve used that social influence and played up his futurist idealism on that show or any other method of addressing the public to say HEY, CARS KINDA SUCK ACTUALLY, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT DOESNT SUCK? MOTHAFUCKIN TRAINS!!!!!!!!!

Buuuuuut no, he had to be so involved with the theme parks, only really caring about creating a "futuristic society of tomorrow" when it was for his little company town idea.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Jenny Nicholson and Kevin Defunctland Purjerer are truly the Statler and Waldorf of the absolute muppet show that is Disneyland's management. Just there, pointing out every clearly avoidable and greed motivated flaw in every design choice Disney makes to their parks. For free.

Props to Jenny Nicholson for somehow having the longest defunctland episode

If Jurassic Park was real the DefunctLand video on it would open with "66 Million Years ago, an asteroid the size of Mount Everest slammed into the Gulf of Mexico,"

I don't think I'll ever be over Defunctland's last name being Perjurer. Mind-bogglingly intense and thorough research, and this fucker's name is Person Who Makes Shit Up.

i love defunctland because youll be watching a completely ordinary and straightforward video about theme park history until kevin says some shit like "nothing makes one face their own mortality more than being a wiggle" and then continues on like nothing ever happened

These little cards are great. Simply great. You want these. You do. You need these cards. There are only two left. Send ‘em to your mom. They can be used for any occasion. And for all you girls out there, we have key chains with pictures of MEN in them. These men are handsome and they’re in our key chains. Men. Or you could put your boyfriend’s picture in there. Whatever. Either way, they’re only $1.50

watching defunctland

the kids cities concept is just so incredibly fascinating to watch. it almost feels like unintentional commentary, there are some many directions in which to read this. it almost feels like something out of a magical realism novel from the mid 20th century.

the concept of children doing adult things, pretending to be adults, while a few actual adults around take care of them and make sure they are doing things right, having fun and not hurting each other, while their fathers and mothers rest above them on a lounge. is hard not to see a commentary about humans guided by angels while the gods rest atop mount olympus.

this is begging to be adapted into a lord of the flies style horror movie or a weird surrealist dark comedy or something. its such a rich vein to explore. what if we take the concept further, we got children doctors and children pilots and children police. why not children garbage collectors? children homeless? children drugaddicts?
