Unhappy people at Disneyland

This I find a real comment on US society in itself. Where else would it occur to anyone to even spend the time on it.
It's like: "Hey they lied! People can be unhappy here."

American society doesn't want to see unhappy people though - just like most Americans don't want an honest answer to "How are you today?" One big "let's pretend we're happy." Or is it: "I'm ashamed that I'm unhappy, because everyone tells me I should be happy"?

But maybe this is a sort of an "emperor's got no clothes" thing. It takes somebody to stand up and say "Disneyland is pretty miserable...actually."

Maybe that's why Boing Boing put in on their site and why Dave Winer posted it on his blog.
