National Pleasure?

I was just watching National Treasure, a Disney classic (if you haven't seen it, you should. Especially after you hear what I'm about to share with you) when I noticed something odd.

I've seen this movie several times now, and pretty much had it running for background noise and occasional watching as I was working on my computer. I happened to be watching during the scene where Nicholas Cage's character is mixing a chemical that is visible under black light. To test the viability, he coats his fingers and then draws a smiley face on the table. He then pulls out his pen size black light and shines it at the table, where the smiley face is immediately visible.

Today I noticed something about that smiley though.

In true impish Disney fashion, they snuck a phallic symbol in under the noses of the viewing public. The smiling mouth is actually a penis. Yes, you heard me right. Go to your DVD collection, pop in National Treasure and skip to that scene.

You will never look at a smiley face the same way ever again. ;D
