: : Well, to me good management has something to do quality. Whether it is limited or full.

: Good point. The question has to be, if people prefer good cartoons to crappy ones, management is not doing its job by promoting crappy production techniques.

: But so far, the general public doesn't seem to give a rip, so why should management? You can say Wal-Mart sucks, but they sure sell a lot of stuff - to a willing public who is happy buying crap.

Well, it's what they need I guess. I guess it is possible to make a product that is too good for consumers. Lasts too long, made too well. No return sales because it never fails.
