For those of you who may not be familiar with it, the Onion (onion.com) is a satirical newspaper full of fake stories that are sometimes gross, sometimes hilarious. I haven't looked at it in months, but I looked today and lo and behold, the "infograph" section is "Disney's Financial Woes".
Quoting--
Disney's stock has fallen 20% over the last five years. What are the reasons?
--having mice and birds dress Michael Eisner each morning not cost effective.
--cynical viewing public no longer interested in love, hope, or triumph of the human spirit.
--remake of "Pete's Dragon" $83 million over budget, 17 weeks behind schedule.
--78% of the US population has been sued by Disney.
--steadily decreasing number of clapping children eventually resulted in death of Tinkerbell.
--HBO swiped that chimp that chose winning TV shows
--upper management wasted too much time swimming gleefully through gold coins in walk-in safe
--many employees failed to complay with mandatory work-related whistling regulations.

There was another whole article last year that was hilarious, too. It was about how one family's trip was ruined by all the other visitors because other people kept trying to steal their parade spot, and hogging characters, etc. I will try to find a link to it!
