Some people have multiple personalities, debilitating gambling compulsions or think that the third Godfather movie was the best in the series. We draw different lines for what is crazy all the time.

Going deep in debt to, willfully, be in an exploitative relationship with a predatory mega corporation that regurgitates your childhood memories over and over, strikes me as clinically bat shit.

Disney adults don’t even have to leave the house to fully commune with their favorite corporation in the flesh because they can live full-time in a branded city. For a million dollars or two, you can buy a sprawling house at Cotino, a 618-acre gated community in Rancho Mirage, California — the first in Disney’s Storyliving venture, which is developing master-planned suburban developments throughout the United States.

But yeah, different strokes, I guess.
