    Hmm. This calls for some kind of super-powered financial hero. Kind of like ANTONIO SMITH, FORENSIC LINGUIST, only an accountant.

    Or, you know, converting that leaky reactor into a fast-breeder and selling plutonium to mad scientists using the theme park as a cover. That would work too. Could well be profitable if it’s run as a mail order business to keep the mads from actually going there.

      I’m sure there’s a sensible way to sell plutonium mail order to mad scientists, but the idea just makes me think of the envelopes in Cash 4 Plutonium http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obNIeg2EHDU .

            I don’t see why they shouldn’t be. The only nuclear materials that are controlled in the US are Uranium, Plutonium, and Thorium.

    (TUNE: “Hand In My Pocket”, Alanis Morissette)

    It’s great, but it’s grimy;
    It rocks, but it rots;
    It’s twee, but it’s toxic, yeah!

    It’s cute, but it’s crumbling;
    It’s fun, but it’s falling down;
    It’s rad, but it’s radio-active!

     And what the bottom line is,
     Is that this place doesn’t make one red cent!
     Because the CEO’s want profit,
     And the Little House wants to keep on living!

    That’s a particularly good Sweetheart face in Panel 3- doggy flattened ears and human-y serious mouth.
    If Unity keeps the lynx ears and learns to use them, both Sweetheart and Unity will have hybrid human/fuzzy animal expressions and body language. Which is awesome.

    At last we come to the crux of the issue.

    Pure profit trumps wonder once again. Alas, alack.

    Makes you wonder of the madboyz don’t have a point at times.

    If the corporate beancounters were smart, they would go with the breeder reactor scenario, but also remodel the park and use it as a day camp for under privileged kids. This could probably be done in such a way that the government would pick up the tab for the remodel, and be a significant tax write off. Using androids as the counselors would also be of benefit as they would probably work for the power that would be a waste product of the breeder reactor. Properly done the park could make billions a year and still be a tax write off. Unless of course the corporate guys are all reality blind. I have a question for Mrs.Shaenon, do you use the Pratchett model of reality filter as your basis for reality blindness?

      Wait. There are entertainment-corporation executives who are *not* blind to reality?

        of course there are, the ones that are reality blind are only venal, the ones that aren’t are e
