| THE CRAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH KB Home and Disney team up! |
It sure took the Radiation Rangers by surprise when KB Home made the announcement that it was teaming up with Disney, hatching a Mickey
Mouse idea to spruce up the controversial developer's homes. But there it was, nevertheless, in a September 26, 2007 KB Home press release
called "KB HOME AND DISNEY COLLABORATE TO BRING DISNEY MAGIC INTO NEW HOMES - Disney Home Products to be Offered in KB Home
Studios; Disney-Themed Rooms in KB Home Models Launches National Sweepstakes."
“We are honored to be teaming up with Disney, an industry leader who shares both our passion for quality and our commitment to families,” said
Jeffrey Mezger, president and chief executive officer of KB Home in the press release. “Our Built to Order business model is all about choice, and
together with Disney we are offering even more options for the whole family.”
We were wondering about that "commitment to families" part in Runkle Canyon where KB Home wants to build hundreds of homes, the
construction of which will launch over 112 tons of strontium-90-impacted dust in the air that will fall out over Simi Valley, the San Fernando Valley
and other parts of Southern California. We were wondering about that "passion for quality" when it comes to KB Home's Environmental Impact
Report that didn't even bother to test the stream running through Runkle Canyon, maybe because it is extremely polluted with arsenic, nickel,
vanadium, chromium, cadmium and lead. The only reason we know this is because the Radiation Rangers tested Runkle Canyon and then the City
of Simi Valley tested too and found even more pollution!
So KB Home and Disney? Disney?
The Los Angeles Times seemed impressed enough when it wrote "KB will add Disney touch to its homes."
Why shouldn't we be impressed too? Why shouldn't Runkle Canyon get a little of that Disney pixie dust, albeit with strontium-90, sprinkled all over
this fair canyon?
So in the sad advent that KB Home and the City of Simi Valley manage to build this perfectly fine development in the most imperfect of locations,
downhill from one of the most radiologically and chemically polluted places in the United Stated, we should make the most of it because it will have
the Disney magic! Call it the Disneyfication of Runkle Canyon!
Think of the Runkle Canyon real estate ads!
I'm Goofy for a Radioactive Home!
Me and Minny are just fine living by Rocketdyne!
We're Going to Strontiumland!
Or what about Runkle Canyon street names?
Winnie the Goo Road
Chronicles of Leukemia Lane
One Hundred and One Toxins Street
Or how about Disney redoing some classics and bringing them up to date Runkle Canyon style!
Snow White and the Seven Heavy Metals
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Canyon
The Dyin' King
Honey, I Killed the Kids
Bambi and the Arsenic-poisoned Waterhole
20,000 Picocuries Under the Soil
Old Yeller Drank that Runkle Water and Barked No More
Well, you get the idea -- the possibilities are endless! That's why we want your kooky contributions to this exciting KB Home and Disney endeavor!
