    If you've ever seen documentaries about the people who run Pixar, you'd know better.

    I'd bet a year's paycheck that this had nothing to do with publicity for them.

    Aside from the fact that they need no publicity, especially WEEKS after the movie's release. It's not like there's a movie going person in entire world who doesn't know who Pixar is by now.

    I know alot of people believe that it somehow changes the importance of what they did or others do because it somehow benefits the athletes or the companies, but I think as long as it made that little girl happy, or others like her, then intentions be damned. Just my opinion.

    Couldn't have put it any better brother :up:

    Thumbs up to brother Gish for calling a retake on your first post brother :up:

    Much like Google, Pixar is just a great place to work filled with good people from the top-down. Maybe DC should do a case study on how they do business.

    As for ruining the weekend, I'm a glass half-way full type of guy. The poor girl had one strong wish before she went to a better place. That wish was granted

    God bless her and those that love her

    You're comparing a company who cares about little kids and makes awesome movies to a company that basically made the 1984 version of a web browser?

    My feelings exactly. If it makes someone smile and feel good for a while, then who cares what the intentions may or may not be?

    There is nothing that brings tears to my eyes faster than to hear about tragedies that happen to children .

    And there is nothing that gets me more upset than hearing about abuse of children.

    I just read on Yahoo about how that story's affecting so many people that have read about it on the internet. They showed her picture, she was a cute kid. It's a shame that kids that young have to go through something like that. R.I.P. :sad:
