It’s A Big, Big World Afterall…

1 of 101 Dumbest Moments In Business 2007
Fortune Magazine

Disneyland announces plans to close the “It’s a Small World” attraction to deepen its water channel after the ride’s boats start getting stuck under the loads of heavy passengers. Currently, employees ask larger passengers to disembark… and compensate them with free food.

Hmm, pass the gravy.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

It doesn’t sound like a dumb business decision to offer food to those too fat for Disney rides. Instead, it seems rather prescient.

Actually… I kind of think someone was thinking on this one. Realistically, if I had to tell someone to get off the ride because they’re too weighty ... I’d want a bribe in my hand for protection too.

Yum… I could be bribed with a candy apple. Maybe some kind of beverage.

Heh, they should just put up another sign:

Small World this way -->
