I was watching The Lion King just awhile ago and i noticed something when Simba looks to the stars then falls down. The dust particles thay fly threw the air. Look:
Easily seen the word Sex is visible

I've always seen the dust particles spell out SFX.

This is a really old debate. -.-
From LK.org Quote: 4. Hey! I saw "SEX" in the clouds!
There is an ongoing debate over whether or not the word "SEX" appears in swirling dust at one point in the film. The scene in question is midway through the movie, where Simba has just left a conversation with Timon and Pumbaa in which they have been mocking (in a friendly fashion) his thoughts on what the stars are. He flops down on the edge of a nearby cliff, stirring up some milkweed floss as he does so. As the floss swirls into the air, some claim to be able to see the word "SEX" in its swirling patterns.
It is not known for certain whether the word was planted there intentionally or not, or even if it exists at all; nonetheless, it has gained the attention of such groups as the American Life Leage, who have taken to boycotting Disney on the grounds that it is promoting "evil" themes in its productions.
Internal Disney sources (e.g. animators) claim that the word is not "SEX" at all, but "SFX"-- an abbreviation of "Special Effects". This certainly seems a plausible explanation. And as Patrick Swartz notes, "I recently discovered that the reason behind the phrase SFX "appearing" in the clouds is that it was a dare from the SFX department of the movie towards the animators and visual effects department. Sounds pretty convincing to me."

I agree. Also don't you think there'd be a better place to insert that than in that scene? If that was really what they wanted to convey then I could see them puting it in the "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" scene or somewhere near that.

It is SFX because an Disney was questioned about this and almost sued until they went to the Special Effects department who confirmed that indeed it was SFX and I really don't think the Special effects people would risk loosing there jobs which are hard enough to keep anyway by putting the world 'sex' in there.

Well you never know, I mean back in the 80's for Coke someone put a guy and a girl in the ice. You can guess what they were doing. The only thing was when it was put on the trucks it showed so the guy was sued and lost his job. So it does happen, not often but sometimes.

Coke doesn't exactly have to be all for children. This is Disney not Coke we are talking about. Coke can allow a few adult things Disney does not.
