The Walt Disney Company
Big controversy about if Michael Eisner should step down as CEO. Walt Disney's nephew, Roy Disney, wants to take over. So DU, what do you think is best?

1. Michael Eisner as CEO

2. Roy Disney as CEO

3. Disney is a faceless, evil corperation either way and I don't care!

1. I gotta go with 3
Multi-gazillionoid corporations that pay out $200 million severance packages to their CEO every year, then whine about how "the high price of labor" is forcing them to outsource, just make me sick.

3. Eisner needs to go.
Anyone who would break ties with Pixar is an idiot. Disney's animation is formulatic and very stale. They need some fresh ideas.

Also, every year, major stockholders initiate a proposal that Disney be more accountable for their overseas labor. Every year the BOD recommends that shareholders vote NO.

On a personal note, I had a friend who interviewed as an artist with Disney. He did some fresh things with some of their characters and the art director attempted to confiscate his portfolio.
