    Reminds me of the time when Disney allegedly* sent a memo to workers at Disney Land and Disney World telling them that, if they didn’t stop complaining about the abysmal working conditions by calling both parks Mousewitz, they’d be fired.

    Within the hour, workers started calling it Duchau in stead.

      I get the Mousewitz part but what’s the reference to Dachau about? Duchau read like Duckau as in Donald Duck?

        It might be that there is pun at all about them calling it Dachau and that was the point. Oh we can’t use this cheeky nickname anymore? Fine, we’ll just refer to it as Dachau. Ban that.
