Comcast Wants To Buy Disney For $66 Billion

Posted by timothy on from the free-mouse-hats-with-cable-service dept.

BenBenBen writes "Comcast have made a surprise $66 billion bid for Disney. The public bid (aimed at swaying shareholders) follows a period of secret negotiation which resulted in Eisner saying no. Comcast has a statement on their website and there is better coverage available here."

      From the FAQ

      Note that being moderated Funny doesn't help your karma. You have to be smart, not just a smart-ass.

    If this goes through I wonder if Disney will start booting paying customers out of their theme parks for running Linux (and some personal servers) on their PDAs.

    I've had Road Runner on Time Warner Cable for two years now and haven't been given ANY greef over what I do and don't run on my Linux box.

    I've even had the same IP for over 6 months with out paying any extra!

    See my URL for evidence.

    Whenever someone posts something actually funny, it is modded down. Why has this site become such a stinking shithole inhabited by humorless zombies?

    Hahaha, Comcast is slashdotted!
    Hahaha, Disney is slashdotted!

    Is THAT really so funny? Do you want to read stuff like this all the time? THINK, PEOPLE!
