There's also links to email and show support, as well as links to all sorts of related informational sites. Is this ingenius guerilla PR from upset employees, or is there something deeper here? tag:metafilter.com,2003:site.30179 Thu, 11 Dec 2003 14:59:55 -0800 brokenlink business Disney resignation RoyDisney SaveDisney StanleyGold twiggy http://www.metafilter.com/29959/Rapacious%2Dsoulless%2Dand%2Dalways%2Dlooking%2Dfor%2Dthe <a href="http://solohq.com/Spirit/Heroes/ceely_disney.shtml">Walt would turn over in his cryonic chamber...</a> (I know, I know, it's <a href="http://www.snopes.com/disney/waltdisn/frozen.htm">not true.</a>) Speaking of <a href="http://goofy313g.free.fr/calisota_online/trees/index.html">family trees</a>, Roy Disney (the last board member with ties to the founding family) <a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-disney1dec01,1,6483421.story?coll=la-home-headlines">resigned from the company Sunday</a>, calling for the <a href="http://slate.msn.com/id/2069052/">ouster of Chairman Michael Eisner</a>.
