. . . Americans with Disabilities Act, as the always eponymous Warner Bros. warm U.S. Citizens of the pirate practices of the Corrupt Corporate Culture. During the course of BOY MEETS GIRL, the nefarious swindler producers at "Royal Studios" make two key actors walk the plank into the oceans of uncertainty and unemployment, voiding their contracts just because they've contracted measles. When BOY MEETS GIRL was shot in the 1930s, Warner's prophetic prognosticators foresaw that guys named "Clark" or "Cary" could be discharged at the drop of a limb from the movie studio or lumber mill in which they worked. Whether it was with HEROES FOR SALE or BOY MEETS GIRL, Warner stood up for the disabled, regardless of if their disfigurement was a temporary condition as in the latter example, or something as permanent as sin, like in the former. Warner's savants knew how crucial it was for the goal of full employment across the USA to insure continuous work for the halt, the lame, and the diseased (as soon as they were no longer contagious). Where I live, people joke about all the cases of food servers with active hepatitis asking diners, "Would you like some kidneys with your beans?" But such an attitude is in just as poor taste Today as was America before BOY MEETS GIRL.
