Disney nature filmmakers faked lemming suicides (reinforcing the old myth) by herding them off a cliff.   :'(

Yeah, I saw that on the 5th Estate a couple years ago.

Yeah.  I'm so sorry, Colleen.  That bummed me out too. 

Not as much as finding out that "free range chicken" meant that all they have to do is make sure the chickens can see out a window though.  I'm not a PETA freak or anything, but when I pay for free-range chicken, I want that chicken to have lived a good life and gotten to run around in the fresh air and sunshine and I swear I can't cry about this now, I just can't.  :'(
The answers you seek are in Norway.

Whoa, is that true?  I want my chicken truly free-range! 

I actually have chickens in my backyard just north of downtown Portland.  They have a nice run, and we let them wander through our small backyard daily.  Our chickens are layers, but even the ones I eat shouldn't be stuck in a space they can't move in!  Grrr.   >:(

That's really mean. I imagine the meeting they had at Disney: "I'm sorry, dear studio boss but we are going to have to shoot for another few extra weeks. The lemming population hasn't climaxed yet and the mass suicide is not going to happen anytime soon." - "make them do it" - "excuse me?" - "you heard me, make it happen now get out of my office and come back with a shot of a thousand dead lemmings or you'll never work in Hollywood again." - Sheesh, who comes up with something as evil as killing lemmings and even worse, who executes this sort of plan?

Life is too short to spend the rest of it down here in Tampa.

The Hangover made almost half a billion dollars worldwide (including DVD sales).
