How low can it go?
Wall Street sent Six Flags (SIX) closer to the floor. Stock in Dan Snyder’s amusement company fell to $1.70 per share during Friday’s trading, its lowest level in at least 10 years.
For perspective, the same stock traded at $11.91 in January 2006, shortly after Snyder installed a new board of directors and put himself atop it.
Two-legged folks aren’t the only ones taking a beating from Six Flags.
Last week, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, the company’s Vallejo, Calif., outpost, was named the worst park for elephants in the entire country.
The honor was bestowed by In Defense of Animals, a San Rafael-based animal rights group, for offenses including cruel treatment, lack of exercise, and lack of proper medical care.
An IDA spokesperson also said Six Flags elephants are routinely “hit, hurt, prodded, poked and beaten” with a device called a bull hook, which is a metal hook on the end of a long pole.
The group has asked the federal government to investigate the same Six Flags park because one of the giraffes there died in a fire last fall.
Yuk.
Keep the dial right here for all the breaking news in Snyder’s Six Flags soap opera.
I'd take a giraffe or an elephant over 'Lil' Danny anyday !

Actually.... you did mean what you typed.... I'm Jewish, and though we have probably never talked on this site, I just want you to know that this is freaking moronic. Please, explain how is "being a person?" I've always wanted someone who uses that phrase to explain it, cause I have no idea what you are tyring to say.
EXPLAIN WHAT YOU REALLY FEEL WHEN YOU TYPED THAT. I mean shit man, you refrenced it twice in your orginal post, and don't point back to your "I'm sorry" post and tell me to read that.
EXPLAIN TO ME.... A JEWISH GUY.... JUST WHAT "Being a person" IS?

Dan Snyder is clearly ruining the Skins franchise. Why all the fuss over the person comment though? I'm italian if someone came on here talking about a greasy dago I think I would chuckle and continue on with life. You people need to relax and get over it. If more people joked about things such as race, religion and other issues conversations about those issues wouldn't be so tense. I mean did it really offend you because someone called Dan Snyder a person because he is seemingly more interested in money than the well being of the franchise? It's a stereotypical comment sure; BUT it really offended you? Or you needed him to explain exactly what he meant?
Watch Family Guy once in a while or go to a Lisa Lampanelli show. If you weren't so uptight about things like this it would never be an issue.
