NOTE FROM ERIC:

This was going to be a list of the Top 5 Happiest
Paces on Earth, but then we got word that with the
stock market down and the economy struggling, Disney
last week was forced to lay off thousands of workers.
If Mickey Mouse is fearful for his job, than maybe this
“economic downturn” is more troubling than we thought.
So we compiled the following list:

The Top 9 Signs
Hollywood is in a Recession

9> New Jurassic Park dinosaurs? Just a couple guys in Godzilla boxers.

8> As the summer blockbuster season looms, Sid and Marty Kroft’s services are once more in high demand.

7> Remaking “Legends of the Fall” with Alan Greenspan in the lead.

6> Instead of one per day, Calista Flockhart must now make her lettuce leaf last all week.

5> Every Thursday: Rodeo Drive Double Coupon Day!

4> Money saved on bullets, film stock, and actor’s salaries by simply by making the bad guys better shots.

3> Settling for “Boy” instead of “Best Boy.”

2> Jennifer Lopez just eschews clothing altogether — not that it wouldn’t have happened eventually anyway.

and the Number 1 Sign Hollywood is in a Recession…

1> All the best brothels are packing up and moving back to Washington, DC.
