Oh look, it's for Disney Resorts. Maybe you should take the kids this year! Anyway, this screenshot, and many more if you click, come to us courtesy the investigative journalism of the DrunkenStepfather, who found them surfing the putrid site Egotastic and emailed us with a typically inimitable missive (actually, you should click for that alone.) And to think we were just posting how great minds think alike! Enjoy!

The email:

You all know that I love you. I try to help you out where I can and I jerk off to your successes but when I saw a Disney Ad next to the Kristin Davis Blowjob pictures on Egotastic, I had no choice but to do a post. Reality is that I have no issue with his site, sure he's a virgin, but I love virgins, just ask my stepdaughter's friends.

I thought it was funny and newsworthy and hope you can link it because I am in the mood to get someone at Disney fired....I want to see this story on CNN so help.

And part of his post:

The most wholesome family corporation fucks up again. First, Walt Disney was caught molesting kids after taking them to his magic kingdom and showing them special cartoons he drew for them on his penis, true story my grandmother told me he did it to her. Then they made Nazi propaganda videos for Hitler to help kill the jews who were stepping on Disney's Waspy toes in Hollywoo. Then they were accused of subliminal messages in they movies trying to program kids to hate black people and gays and now they advertise next to porn.
Now, we should point out that these allegations are mostly untrue. Walt Disney produced anti-Nazi propaganda and led the anti-Communist effort in Hollywood, and the rest of it...well, it's the Drunken Stepfather. They have committed some evil.
I was scoping out some celebrity smut site that pretty much only posts celebrity nudity, sex tapes, nipple slips and upskirts next to some seriously desperate, virginal commentary and I was pretty shocked to see Goofy staring back at me.

<![CDATA[Breaking scoop: San Jose Mercury News to lay off 101 workers]]> "We find it's always better to fire people on a Friday. Studies have statistically shown that there's less chance of an incident if you do it at the end of the week." The San Jose Mercury News must have learned from the bosses in Office Space. Mercury News's HR head says in the e-mail quoted below that the paper will lay off 101 workers by December 19.

From: Slattery, Kathleen Sent: Fri 10/20/2006 1:14 PM Subject: WARN notice- Guild

October 20, 2006
Dear Colleagues:

As your Division Vice President shared with you earlier today, we plan on eliminating 101 positions by December 19th.

The rest of the e-mail is after the jump.

You are receiving this email because under California law, if an employer lays off fifty or more employees within a thirty day period, it is required to provide the affected employees with a sixty day advance notice of the layoff. This is known as a "WARN notice."

Not every potentially affected employee receiving the notice will ultimately be subject to layoff. But in order to meet compliance requirements, notice will be given to a larger number than 101 employees.

Attached is the 60-day WARN notice as well as a Q&A on benefits, severance and final pay, which are also being mailed to the most current address you
have provided us.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

-Kathleen

Kathleen Slattery
VP HR and Labor Relations, San Jose Mercury News

Part of the Q&A attachment reads:

Q: If I am laid off what will be my last day of employment? A: December 19, 2006, but you may be notified earlier.

Q: If an employee resigns, will that count against the required number of layoffs?
A: It could, if it were in a department that did not need to fill the position.

Q: How many positions are being eliminated?
A: 101.
