A DISNEY DOCUDRAMA
Michael Moore should make a docudrama about all the people who have died at Disney World. He could make up all sorts of scenes were Disney execs were warned by engineers and staff that the rides weren't safe and they simply ignore them. They could also show scenes in the board room covering discussions about the amount of money to fix the problems was more than any sort of settlement Disney would have to pay for any of the individuals died. They could all be seen laughing up a storm at how big their bonuses would be for making the right financial decision.

Wouldn't that be a great DOCUDRAMA?

I wonder if Disney would air such a DOCUDRAMA? I wonder if they would sue any broadcaster who tried to air it? I wonder if they would cry foul? I wonder if they would try to get a court injunction? I wonder if they would claim "It Never HAPPENED?!?!" I bet they would.

5. Heh. Pretty good track record, actually.
And most of those deaths are Darwin award candidates.

4. Fast Food Nation
If you haven't read the book by Eric Schlosser already, definitely check it out. In part of the book, Schlosser does a fascinating cross-analysis of Walt Disney and Ray Kroc (the man who built the McDonalds empire) and their business practices. You'll see what a self-serving, ambitious, greedy and conservative tool "Uncle Walt" and the house that Mickey built really was and is to this day.
