I was not angry or offended, sorry if I gave that impression. I was just
trying to explain why it is in posters' best interest to post the actual
code they are using, not an approximation, and include relevant information
such as the traceback.

Why is DisneySpotType being supplied as an argument here? The first
positional argument for a TextField is an optional verbose name for the
field (see
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#verbose-field-names).
The traceback shows that the code is running into trouble trying to create
the formfield for a TextField, specifically trying to apply unicode() to the
field's verbose name. Since the verbose name for this field has been set to
a model class, you get the error message indicating an attempt to apply
unicode() to the class as opposed to an instance of the class.
