Why don't you say what you really mean JohnK :?:

Haha. Nothing wrong with a rant but someone clearly doesn't like them.

Hmm, isn't the mouse with the famous ears the iconic front-man for one of the most successful marketing behemoths ever to extract huge amounts of finances from millions of people and leaving them all smiles and wanting to come back again real soon? Someone that children of all ages wants to visit over and over again.

Somehow I don't think this was what you were thinking with your description

I said exactly what I meant to say.

Jetstar is a "mickey mouse" airline deserving of a home in a 3rd world country....

I guess I must have a different image conjured up in my mind by the term "Mickey Mouse". To me it means slick, well organised, well rehearsed and well delivered, colourful, flamboyant, something for which people are willing to pay a premium price beyond the reality of value, something from which you don't want to leave and to which people want to return, an experience that removes you from reality and delivers you into a "toon town" where anything can happen and where the villain always loses.

My image of something being "Mickey Mouse" and my image of JetStar are not aligned .

Dajop is quite right. I have heard the term "mickey mouse" for many years used when referring to a dodgy or questionable person or organisation.

I don't quite remember too much about the actual Micky Mouse cartoon but wasn't he/it a clumsy type of character?
