Today my friend Elro of Elro.com sent me a promotional clip that his company made. A "Pixar" snuff cartoon. Yes, yes. Disney Corporation (which I think Pixar now owns) will be very glad to see this.

While I am on the subject of pissing off big corporations that could easily have me disappeared, I keep hearing this joke about Disney employees. Apparently after they got a memo telling them to stop referring to the House of Mouse as "Mouseschwitz", they quickly started calling it "Duckhau". Does anyone know what the source of this is?

And while Walt Disney is rumoured to be a secret Nazi, you'll never guess who this is about:

"He added an an extraordinary postscript, written in magenta ink, reaffirming his loyalty to Lenin. "Yesterday was the 29th anniversary of the Great Teacher. We stood to attention for one minute in front of THE BUST on the mantelpiece and drank several toasts-and then settled down to some good reading of adulatory Russian poetry.""

Believe it or not, it's the Billionaire Tyrant himself. The quote is from Murdoch: Revised and Updated, page 38. Picturing Rupert reading "adulatory Russian poetry" brings a tear in my eye :)
