A beer advertisment featuring a ranchy version of Snow White has reportedly raised the ire of Disney.

The x-rated advertisement, for Jamieson's Raspberry Ale, depicts the fairytale heroine blowing smoke rings while lying in bed with seven semi-clad dwarves.

In this Disney dystopia, Snow White has been renamed "Ho White", while the loveable dwarves Sleepy, Happy and Doc are rebranded Filthy, Smarmy and Randy - supposedly to represent different types of drinkers.

They are gonna regret that ad when Disney gets through with them. Disney takes copyright infringement very seriously. It doesn't take a calculus major to figure out where they got the idea for the names. Go get 'em Mickey!

In this case, I totally agree with Disney. It cheapens a beloved classic.
