Mallorca Mickey Mouse

You know how we use "Mickey Mouse" as a slang expression meaning small-time, amateurish or trivial? Here's a perfect example from my working life where I encounter lots of Mickey Mouse information websites whilst trying to put together the odd news article.

Take this brilliantly written piece for Mallorca Spotlight.




The first site I spotted it on listed 5 performances but no venue! I checked another site which gave the venue but had 6 performances listed, so I treble checked another site which claimed that it was a one night stand!

This pales into insignificance here on Mickey Mouse Island where I can remember thousands and thousands of posters hung from every lamp-post leading into Ibiza town publicising the Ad-lib fashion shows for that year. The designers of this had also forgotten to tell us where they were being held!

Are we surprised?
