Damn @Peter C is Texas really like this?

Hahah. In the same way that Oliver Stone set out to create Wall Street as a cautionary tale, but instead created a legion of Gordon Gekko fans, some people saw Mad Max and, well...

Hey @Horus this is what I expect the outback is like. (And when I mean Outback I assume that is everything outside the Sydney city limits. )

The power of Hollywood: Merchandising

Top grossing movie of 2013: Frozen

Disney's Frozen: The power of princess merchandising - Business Analysis & Features - Business - The Independent

"Disney really began to focus on princesses in 2000, after a new executive went to see a Disney on Ice show and was struck by how many of the girls in the audience were wearing home-made princess costumes. "They weren't even Disney products," the executive, Andy Mooney, told the writer Peggy Orenstein for her book about the rise of princesses, Cinderella Ate My Daughter. The Disney Princess line now makes about £2.5bn a year, on par with the earning power of Mickey Mouse himself. (The Frozen girls are not, as yet, official members of the Princess ensemble.)"
