It's meant to be a difficult question, just to make you wriggle a bit! Knowing you're a super preservationist/nostalgist, here's a little question. Supposing you were Eisner for a day. Would you put the Barker Bird back up there, with his original corny, borderline racist spiel? To me, now it's just me maybe, the biggest flaw of the Barker Bird is that he's simply not funny. In the, ahem, accent department, time has not been kind to him and Jose. But that's nothing next to the fact that his patter is one stinker after another (or should I say "steeenker"), with the comic timing of Al Gore. Just testing you. :wink: I just can't see how he could be a plus for the audience. I think the spielling bird in front of the WDW Pirates is pretty lame too.
