Pleasantville, Stepford Wives.. and now Celebration

The launch of Celebration, Florida in 1996 was created in an attempt to be the happiest place on Earth by Walt Disney’s imagineers. What started out on the ideas of what a community of perfection would be soon turned left when expectations weren't met in the fabricated town. The time elapsed in a week in December brought about the town’s first murder and suicide. Residents have said that the pressure put on them by what is expected of them, has been the reason or may be the reason for the out-of-character behaviour.

This place and the whole idea that goes with it is so effed up. If you read the article, you'll read a part that mentions the rumour of how Disney once hired actors to walk their dogs perfectly by the lake......huh???? I didn't even know there was a perfect way to walk a dog! All that's known to me is you pick their shit up after they've done their business.

It's quite a long article but you can definitely get the gist from the first bit.

check it out.
