Fight the power of the Mouse
Now, I don't want to come over all Josh Marshall-like here, but I have a source within the Evil Magic Kingdom who doesn't want to be identified, but would like to make a suggestion.
In case you haven't heard recently, there's a bit of a feud going on at high levels of the Disney corporation which has come into the public eye over the last week with the resignation of Roy Disney from his family company, citing his complaints with Michael Eisner's reign over the company, and stating that 'the Company has lost its focus, its creative energy, and its heritage.'
As I said, my source works somewhere within the Empire of the Mouse and says that this letter reflects many of the concerns of the company's employees. From what I've heard from this source and others, this is rather common amongst members of Team Rodent all of whom feel that the company has lost it's way and needs to be reminded of that fact, repeatedly. As my source says;'The only way to send a message these people can understand is to deprive them of money in the name of protesting corporate greed.'
In other words, it's time for a boycott to support Roy Disney or, in the words of my source - a Roycott where customers boycott going to Disney properties until Michael Eisner leaves and the company takes note of the points made by Roy Disney.
I've no idea how successful this will be, or just how angry Disney employees are - but remember, these are people who already refer to their place of employment as 'Mouseschwitz' or 'Duckau', so for them to be talking of boycotts is quite a big step. I'll try and get some more information from my source (any names you want to suggest to refer to them by will be gratefully appreciated - I considered 'Duck Throat', but maybe not...) and also see if I can get more information about life within the House of Mouse.
