The Unauthorized State-Owned Chinese Disneyland

rmnoon writes "Apparently Japanese TV and bloggers have just discovered Disney's theme park in China, where young children can be part of the Magic Kingdom and interact with their favorite characters (like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and the Seven Dwarfs). The park's slogan is 'Because Disneyland is Too Far,' and there's even an Epcot-like dome. The only problem? Disney didn't build it, and they didn't authorize it. What's more? It's state-owned!"

Zippo

After watching a special on CNBC the other night regarding Zippo (The famous cigarette lighter company) and their battle with Chineese rip-offs... and now this... I'm beginning to realize at some point in the future there will be dire consequences for China's blatent lack of respect for international intellectual property laws (among other things). Consequences as in trade embargos... or even war. Better wake up China! The giant will ignore a mouse nibbling at his ankle only for so long....

So what can we do? I know! Complain to the Chinese govt,...hmm...wait, the Chinese govt. owns the park. Oh, crap, I guess, we'll just have to suck it up and watch little Chinese kids play and get rides in the faux Disney park and take their pictures with faux Mickey. I am so sad, Disney CEO/CFO..CxO's won't be able to afford another yaht :-(

So,anyway, how's that cure for cancer coming?

You probably just don't have many taste buds. And I don't mean that in a bad way, just that there are generically three levels of tasters, low, normal and super. I'm pretty sure I'm a normal, and stuff like IPA's and what not tastes like the devil to me. Budweiser isn't wonderful wonderful delicious, but at least it doesn't taste offensive, which is my take on a great many of the 'snob' beers.
