Disney/Pixar Stickers
Here's a simple request for all the lawyers and senior executives at the Happiest Place On Earth. Can you please keep your meathooks and your legalese off of my kid's Disney/Pixar sticker book? It's a freakin' STICKER BOOK for Christ's sake! Do we really need "Copyright Disney/Pixar" on every single fucking sticker? There are about 200 stickers to a page and every tiny little sticker has "Copyright Disney/Pixar" on it.
For the good of the planet, save a few million gallons of ink!
Do you think the pirates out there making counterfeit stickers aren't able to replicate your brilliant attempt at control of your intellectual property?
It's not necessary. Nobody gives a shit.
Viacom doesn't plaster a copyright notice all over Dora the Explorer and they're selling a hell of a lot more stickers.
I know it may seem like a stupid request - but I know there were way too many corporate and lawyer meetings about that copyright notice - and it's an unbelievable waste of time.

About Jill Kennedy
Jill Kennedy is an Ivy League MBA / refugee from Lehman Brothers.
Manka Bros. (and the Manka Business Channel) hired her (for a very low sum) to cover the world of media (not the world of Medea) in her own words without corporate inteference.
About Medea
Medea was a real bitch from classical mythology - as most famously dramatized by Euripides.
She was a sorceress and wife of Jason, whom she assisted in obtaining the Golden Fleece. When Jason deserted her, she chopped up their children. One could say, Medea acted as rationally as a major media company.
Tips, Scoops and Smoking Guns
I don't have a kid and I've never bought a sticker book, but it does seem like overkill. I think you won't get much of a fight on this one. There are bigger issues like why no one is buying DVDs anymore.
god damn right! I've had it with these fucking stickers with copyrights! Keep bringing down the giants, Jill!
It's slightly more complicated than that. Most people just don't realize that stuff is copyrighted.
