   Ty is not smart; consider him lucky...........for a 'business man' he   
   runined a perfectly good thing by messing with   
   a successful product line.  Taking Beanies to the current Beanie image is   
   almost disheartnening......  Does McDonalds   
   mess with its fries or White Castle mess with its burgers.......at any   
   comparision Ty had his hands in to much and turned   
   off about 80% of his Beanie market.  Is he 'successfull' yes.....is he a   
   great business man.......No.   Now lets see how   
   he screws up the hotel businesses......by leaving a pound of sugar under   
   ones pillow instead of a mint.
