In my warped little brain, I'd like to hope that's because they actually treasure the historical significance of their antiques, which I wish more folks on the American version would do. With 98% of them, you just see the dollar signs rolling in their eyes. Appreciate history, dadgumit!

Holy crap, that sounds horrible! I thought snot was bad.

I, er, dropped this over on the Gawker article, too, but it's sharing day for gross employee stories.

Can anyone explain to me why people get so emotional about bangs? I saw two college girls in the grocery store nearly get into a brawl while discussing someone on the cover of a magazine. The emotions generated seem so out of proportion with the issue.

Eh, Ed Sheeran may be right on the money. Not everyone's first time is a magical experience.

Kitteh! That one looks pretty similar to my poor Cat, who we had to put to sleep earlier this year. Much sadness.

I don't know why but that Shannon Woodward tweet both oozes pretentiousness and is grating to me. I cannot explain it.

This is usually when one of the content authors pops in with the defense that they're bloggers, not journaliststs.

I'm pretty sure just about everyone involved with Gawker Media sites avoid facts like they're chock full of gluten.

So you're saying the equivalent of a third grade child is in no way able to accept some responsibility for their actions? Ridiculous.

An eight-year-old child is more than old enough to know better than to hit her mother. At what point do we stop excusing children who act like horrible, entitled brats? Sure, the way she was raised has to take a huge portion of the blame here, but just being eight is not a valid excuse.

I'm not sure why some people being allergic to cats makes it necessary to look down on people that love them. I'm allergic to seafood but I don't look down my nose at people that love them some fish and lobster.

Kanye plays that interracial relationship card a lot, but I have never once seen that as a criticism leveled against them. I think people give them crap more for the fact that they're both insufferably narcissistic than anything else.

In every single way. Heads should roll for this thing. Unfortunately I'm sure the fat cats who championed this nightmare will get off free and clear while the little guys take the hits. I've heard some in Imagineering (and their projects) took it on the nose in order to help stem the hemorrhaging of cash for it.

For the most part, I agree with you about guest accessibility issues, but in the long run I'm not sure how it's going to help WDW. They get a ton of first-time visitors, but their business plans right now don't seem conducive to frequently returning folks.

Disney may have some better practices (though even that is questionable these days) but they aren't immune. The new Seven Dwarves coaster is decidedly not large person friendly, for example.

It's not a matter of actual privacy, it's about the perception of privacy. I'm not going to send actual private details around any public network. We old timers are big on perceptions.

Eh, I prefer tethered connections for internet access at hotels. As a cantankerous old coot, I don't trust the WiFi to keep my business private.

... instead pays the exorbitant salaries of bureaucrats and exorbitant costs of sports stadiums.
