Eisner calls strike "stupid"

For some reason, Michael Eisner is still giving speeches. He addressed the WGA strike in his latest speech, calling the strike stupid, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Not unexpected for a former studio head... but here's the twist: he blames Apple. It doesn't take a genius to connect the dots here. Eisner's exit from Disney was, in large part, due to his falling out with Pixar a company Apple head Steve Jobs founded. Eisner says that writers should "wait a few years" before asking for digital revenue. Maybe if they hadn't been screwed on home video sales by people like Eisner, they would have.
