Conflict at Walt Disney bursts wide open (Roy says company under Eisner "rapacious, soulless")

This article makes me even more proud of the fact that I'm the one of the few middle class parents in America who hasn't taken their kids to Disneyland or Disneyworld.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

How very interesting.

I'm predicting that with DISNEY Presiding Chairman Sen. GEORGE MITHCELL's (D) forcing ROY DISNEY out on behalf of HILLARY's Friend MICHAEL EISNER...

EISNER was now free to finally bring BILL CLINTON's ABC-TV Morning Talk Show on the air like he's wanted to for over a year.

I'll never forget meeting a most gracious WALT DISNEY himself in Frontierland in 1956 where he was planning his innocent 'TOM SAWYER's Island."

Who would'a thunk..?

[Dante3]

What a shame what Eisner had done with Disney.

[Grampa Dave]

Ronnie, this is an interesting prediction, "EISNER was now free to finally bring BILL CLINTON's ABC-TV Morning Talk Show on the air like he's wanted to for over a year."

Just in time for $inator Hildebea$t to be drafted for 2004?

[Toskrin]

It loks like Roy has given up. He's trying to sell almost half his shares.

You two are beginning to scare me. EISNER/CLINTON conection. Look out.

[philosofy123]

Eisner is a self serving bum. He took a family oriented business and converted it to an unethical business, only concerned about political correctness, and a financially unprofitable company because all the profits were being stolen by Eisner and his cronies.

[Grampa Dave]

All of us need to be concerned about the super rich mediots like Eisner and their long time connections with the Clintoons.

I don't think he's exactly well liked at the news division of ABC. I used to work for a networked owned-and-operated ABC affiliate and we'd get really stupid emails from Michael every so often, addressing ALL Disney employees condescendingly as "Castmembers," sometimes mentioning the expensive and exotic vacation site from which he was sending his missives. You're the cartoon, Eisner.

Bump for later read.

Hey how's your Holidays! Hope Good!

AWWWWWRIGHT PEOPLE, Listen up. I was there I saw what happened. What do you expect from eisner, he supported cunton. I watched this company bring in a lot of queers from fashion ave. and they took over our company and fired us. I wanted to do Patriotic retro forties WWII patches and I was told MICKEY MOUSE IS NOT AN AMERICAN HE IS A CITIZEN OF THE WORLD!!!! After 9/11 when the company saw they could make a buck Mickey was on shirts in front of flags and even the whores at the dizney store put Buzz Lightyear in the stars and stripes. Hell I was laughed at and ridiculed cause i had ol' glory hanging up on my office wall. So here's the deal you go to my website and send us a note like F U Hitlary and i will send you a "support our troops" shirt. they are beautiful , ask NY COP, or FIREBRAND or Robert DeLong and they will tell you these are better than any mickey rat shirt and they are free. So send a message to that traitorous witch that America does support our boys and we will win this fight over there. Ironic that the senator from (ahem) NY forgot that the TWIN TOWERS were there.

Eisner has been memorialized in perpetuity in the Chia Pet Hall of Fame.

[Liz]

That scenario sounds good.

[Liz]

Good for you.

[Sabertooth]

It loks like Roy has given up. He's trying to sell almost half his shares.

He's trying to create a shareholder crisis by drivng down the value of the stock. Watch for Eisner and cronies to buy, buy, buy.

This is gonna be bloody, and fun to watch.

Bump for #7. 'Nuff said.

[razorback-bert]

As a little kid, I wanted to go Disneyland so bad and was quite jealous, when my cousins moved to California and got to go.


Now pee on 'em.
