Genius computer animation house, Pixar, second home of Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, is facing scrutiny regarding stock options offered to its top brass back in 2000. Jobs himself is not among those who partook of Pixar's questionable options offerings, but John Lasseter, Pixar's hawaiian-shirt-wearing creative honcho is among those who may have benefited.

This would not be Pixar's first brush with the alledged financial chicanery. The firm was only recently the subject of securities litigation relating to dissapointing DVD sales of for their film, The Incredibles (which does not exactly speak well for the taste of the American people, because the film was brilliant).
