Important information for shareholders!

Hey guys a friend of mine just sent me this info:

"I just got my annual report and I was looking at the voting sheet. I know alot of people on this forum don't like me or think im too extreme but I want to recommend to all shareholders to vote AGAINST putting Orin C. Smith on the board of directors.

Orin C. Smith is the former President and CEO of Starbucks. He approved of the "mcdonaldization" of the brand and opened up a starbucks everywhere that he could because he believed it was smart business but in reality diminished the brand. This has now cost the company dearly and the current CEO and the original founder are now having to close most of these stores and launching a series of cost cutting initiatives to save the company.

Disney is in a delicate spot right now and we do not need a person like this on the board of directors making dangerouns decisions. So please, if you are a shareholder and care about the Walt Disney Company, vote against Orin C. Smith.

Thanks "

I'm not that familar with the other members. I will be voting for John Pepper Jr. and Steve Jobs though because those guys are good.

Iger I dunno. I think im not going to vote for him because I feel he is too overcompensated and not taking enough action to improve the quality of the parks. WDW is becoming a Timeshare ghetto and the other parks (minus tokyo and DCA kinda) are getting very stale and riddled with cartoon tie-ins while he makes over $50 million in bonuses a year. I'll be voting against him not because im expecting him to be kicked but to send a message that he needs to get his butt in gear.

Also if you know any other disney fans or family members that own disney shares please let them know about the Starbucks guy. Hes a crook!

Crook might be a bit harsh, but yeah I don't feel he's good for Disney I voted him down on my shares.

Cool Re: Important information for shareholders!

I think there should be at least one starbucks in DL. I need my Grande 5 pump Chi Latte every morning.

I hate having to make a detour to the one by the HoJo.
