I don't think Disney signed off on this. Then again, I don't think they've made a fuss yet about Lotte World and it's, um, "tributes" to Disney World, so who knows if this will even show up on the radar. Actually, the article mentions the movie and the Jack Sparrow character---probably a bad idea---but I don't think Disney has patents on pirates or pirate motifs. The box itself says "Inspired by Black Beard and Calico Jack," but apparently stores have put Jack Sparrow to work advertising for the cigarettes. Thanks for "Grandfalloon" for the scoop, not surpringly on a Marmot's Hole post about Korean movie posters, um, "borrowing heavily" from American ones.
