Comcast Wants To Buy Disney For $66 Billion

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."

Slashdot and thousands of communities like it still exist today, and there is no sign that they are on the decline. Come to me when they start collapsing.

Coca-Cola is so named because it used to be shipped with a fair amount of cocaine within. But eventually, cocaine got outlawed.

So did marijuana.

Generally, we are clever enough to work around such problems.

Those who are "clever" enough to run around the problem of having cocaine (or marijuana) banned usually end-up as jailed political prisoners.

Never assume that blogs such as /. won't get outlawed, or that the Internet will be gutted by croporations (and their governmental minions).
