An amused operative from within the Disney corporate family shared with us this company-wide e-mail in which Head Mouse in Charge Bob Iger pats his underlings on their collective back for Pirates of the Caribbean 2's record-shattering™ performance. But in his exuberance to reach out and personally touch the inboxes of his cast members, Iger may have neglected proofreading his missive, tragically misspelling the name of one of his stars and redundantly referring to the Pirates franchise as "something that will be enjoyed by generations of people for generations." Ever the perfectionist, Iger eventually corrected his mistake. Says our operative: "Two hours later he sent out the exact same memo with the spelling corrected. No mention that he had gotten it wrong the first time. At Disney, we don't acknowledge mistakes."

I would figure that lots of people can't spell Keira's name, probably as many people as can't spell Kiefer Sutherland's first name.

And btw, Bob Iger wasn't the one responsible for proofreading the memo. Someone else would have written it, and he would have approved it, but not everyone is a human spell-check machine...

He's very careful about spelling, even when sending from his Blackberry. I'm thinking that this was either dictated by him or written by someone else for his signature and, in either case, not proofread before initial sending by the person who handles his public mailbox.

(From things that I've seen on our corporate email system, it's possible that it was drafted for his review, but sent to all staff instead of him when it was ready for review. Just a thought.)

I am sorry but why would someone write about this? Everyone makes mistakes and this is so minor.

Some people have nothing better to do with their time than to manufacture "news".

Attention: Bob Iger dropped his fork on the floor when out at a restaurant last night. Could this be a sign of future failure? Stay turned.

tragically misspelling

Someone else pointed this out. Gross overstatement, no?

Defamer.com can't spell Bob Iger's name (http://www.defamer.com/hollywood/disney/disney-announces-forthcoming-cast-member-massacre-186853.php). Tragic misspelling causes shame, grief to snarky web site.

Suddenly, CEO Bog Iger's Monday morning urging of his employees to "savor" Pirates 2's record-breaking achievement seems forbodingly sinister; if any Disney cast members receive an invitation from Iger or Cook to attend a celebration to "thank" the staff for all the hard work they contributed to the movie's success, they should quickly gather their things and escape the lot, knowing that they've narrowly avoided a gruesome massacre disguised as a cheery ice cream social.
