I wanted to wait a bit, but I still feel that way. Snowglobes?? Really?? The only thing that wouldn't make Disney as a corporation opportunistic slugs is if they donate ALL the profits to disabled veterans and the families of deceased troops. But still, just two days after bin Laden had his brains blown out and Disney of all companies is already moving to profit from it. Just plain wrong.

Word is Disney is having some second thoughts after getting back channel backlash from certain sources. Even if they decide not to do this, whoever thought this was a good idea should be canned.
