While all of you were out frolicking in the MA, the WDC announced that Iger has been selected to be Eisner's sockpuppet.

The smartest thing Iger could do would be to wipe the brown stain off his nose, distance himself from Eisner, and enter into negotiations with Pixar.

Of course, he won't.

Gee, I wonder who will take over as chariman when Mitchell steps down?

Sad news, but we knew it was most likely coming.

I doubt that Iger has the chutzpah that Eisner does and won't be able to grip the reigns of power as tightly as Eisner did. I bet he's out in a year.

But the news still sucks though.

Eh. At this point I've lost all hope. Oh well. It was a great company for a while. Hopefully things won't go completely down the drain with the parks.

It is pretty amazing, isn't it? It's unreal how corrupt they are, and how entitled. I'm reading 'Disneywar' now, and it's so weird to see the events of the past few years played out in this book. Stewart really did a fantastic job of exposing Eisner and his board, not that it seems to have done any good.

Tref! Too funny. If only!

Erica told us the news right after playing MA. I'm not sure I have any other feelings other than NOOOOOOOOO. But, most of my feeling is concentrated on my lower body.
