Talk of the writers' strike and Michael Eisner reminded me of the picture of took at Disney World and meant to post and forgot about. Now, as much as I love WDW, I'm well-aware of the corporate-ness, taking over the world, come-into-our-giftshop-said-the-spider-to-the-fly, watch us consume half the entertainment industry aspect of it all. There's a shop at MGM Disney Hollywood Studios devoted to the Muppets, and for some odd reason, tucked away on a wall behind a pile of Kermit backpacks and Miss Piggy t-shirts is this sign. I have no idea why it's there, but when I saw it, I couldn't help but take a picture of it. I can't decide if this is a dig at the writers or the producers.

In case it's hard to read, this is what it says:
The Five Laws of Show Business:
1. The Star is always right.
2. The Audience is always right.
3. The Producer, Director, Lighting Crew, Set Decorator, Production Designer, Special Effects Coordinator, Sound Engineer, Prop Master, Gaffer, Best Boy, Boom Operator, Stunt Doubles, Ticket Takers, Ushers, and the guy with the green broom who sweeps up are always right.
4. The Writer is always wrong.
5. There are no such thing as net profits. Don't tell the Writer.
