With higher-level problems plaguing the Paramount lot recently, executives probably haven't had too much time to worry about new and exciting ways in which to humiliate the CBS employees cast out of Viacom Eden following the company's corporate schism. However, it seems that someone finally found a free moment to organize the distribution of new ID cards to all Melrose lot-based staff, perhaps finally closing any loopholes that might allow the CBS unwashed to infiltrate Paramount-sponsored screenings and possibly presaging the re-revoking of the beloved DVD discount. According to a memo (presented in full after the jump, because Paramount memos are infinitely more enthralling than ones at your place of business) distributed around the lot, CBSers will get their own brands cards sometime in July, allowing plenty of time for Viacom to finish constructing the tiger cages provisional workspaces to which anyone foolish enough to show up to the trap ID distribution will be relocated.

YOUR PARAMOUNT ID CARD HAS A NEW LOOK!

Beginning next week, a mandatory exchange of new photo ID cards will
commence for all Paramount, CBS and production personnel according to
