Okay, time for porn jokes at Playboy's expense.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

Hans Christian Andersen wasn't that big on happy endings, was he?
Consider that people didn't feel quite as inclined to pamper and protect children from the harsh realities of life back before the Industrial Revolution, when said harsh realities included "You'll most likely die of some infection before you reach adulthood, but if you're lucky you'll get to work like a drafthorse for 30 or 40 years, cold, dirty, and hungry all the while."

Although it would have been hilarious to say I worked there, I did get the feeling it might have made me insane due to the hinting at "difficult personalities" during the interview process.

Playboy both sucks and blows. Too obvious?
And yeah, being part of a porn empire is no fun if you have to deal with crazy people. You can get crazy people peddling porn on the internet, and you always have the option to close the window and walk away.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Nah. All you need is a staple in the middle and you're Miss Snarkuary.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm sorry, shrift. Their loss, seriously.

I have no issues with the source material, at all. I'm just boggled why Disney would take one story with a sad ending, tart it up and make it happy and put the other on on the disc without making it at least a little less depressing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Aw, shrift, sorry about those Playboy fools! They couldn't handle the fact that your porn is better than theirs.
