Oren Aviv - Manka Bros. Would LIke To Offer You A Job
Yesterday, I was shocked to learn that Oren Aviv was fired as President of Disney Motion Picture Productions. While I have never met Mr. Aviv personally, I have heard that he is an excellent cribbage player (and you all know how much I admire good cribbage). I'm not really sure what Rich Ross has in mind for his executive team at Disney but it seems to me he's really fucking things up and creating a Colonel Kurtz-like environment of ultimate power. Ultimate power over teenage girl media content... but still ultimate power.
Well, I say, good luck to him. All I can hope is that my good friend Bob Iger has Mr. Ross on a short leash. I get a creepy feeling whenever I drive past the Disney Studios as though those freakin' Dwarfs are watching my every move. I wouldn't be surprised if the severed heads of middle managers start to appear on the Disney perimeter fence - stuck on top of the iron Micky Mouse ears - as a warning to those who don't fall in line.
(And please don't email me about the above comment. I realize the severed head thing happened many years ago at Manka Bros. when my father, Harry Manka, ran the studio - but it was only that one time - and I heard the guy deserved it.)
Anyway, back to Oren Aviv. Manka Bros., the world's largest media company, would like to offer Mr. Aviv a very high-level position at the studio. Perhaps even President of the Manka Bros. Theatrical Group (especially considering how shitty a job Robin Rafe has been doing these last couple of years). Even Disney's worse year is far better than our best year lately.
Whatever job you think you might like, Oren, just let me know. I'm happy to push out anyone (with the exception of Lloyd Grohl) to give you a place here. Things are looking up for Manka Bros. and we'd love to have you on our team.
And don't even think about going to Fox (Rupert Murdoch will make you clean the urinals) or Paramount (Sumner Redstone will make you wipe his ass).
Let me know, Oren, ASAP.

About Khan Manka, Jr.
Khan Manka, Jr. assumed the title of Chairman of the Board of Manka Bros. Studios - The World's Largest Media Company - following his father Harry Manka's death in 1976. Before that he was the member of several Southern California rock bands.
Glad to see you'll take everyone that is fired in Hollywood, Khan. There's obviously no recession at Manka Bros.
Oren's a good guy and I hope he lands somewhere. He doesn't really need to work anymore. Hes quite rich.
Oren Aviv was one of the last honorable men in his profession. Kicking him to the curb is just another indication the moral compass has been lost by Disney. One wonders if Steve Jobs hadn't sold Pixar and taken such a big stake in Disney, where would the company truly be? Playing second fiddle to Pixar (as an independent), of course.
Good luck Oren. No worries. You'll be scooped up before you know it. Onward and upwards!
