Well, that's it.  Disney is doomed.  Everyone in the mouse kingdom
will wake up one morning as employees of Microsoft.  Visitors to Epcot
and the other major sites will be dazzled by the slick marketing, and
will enjoy the truly thrilling carnival rides.  Of course, since
Microsoft will be running things, there will be many fatal crashes --
but that's why the rides will be so thrilling.

After the takeover, Microsoft's slogan will be revised:

  Q: Where do you want to go today?
  A: To Disneyland, of course!


As someone else noted, Microsoft has already bought the Vatican, so
Bill Gates will have the right to wear not only papal vestments but
also mouse ears.  I would buy tickets to watch Bill wear them at the
same time.
