Disney Management: I smell a rat amongst us.

That would have been a classic wouldn't it?

I Smell A Rat Amongst Us

Disney, according to sources, have been in talks with the Singapore Tourism Board. After spurning the advances of Johor to develop a Disney theme park in Marina East. Hmm...so what happened to rumours of including Singapore, Marina in the F1 circuit?

So will Singapore finally fulfill the prophecy of William Gibson's 1993 blurb written for Wired magazine? A Disneyland with the Death Penalty? Eh, wait. We already are. Anyway, Gibson, in that abovementioned piece was just so full of soundbites And laden with inaccuracies. Well, they were accurate, if one viewed Singapore with jaundiced eyes. I have a feeling that if he were a Singaporean, he will most probably get his parents to pay him out of NS. Cause....he "left the United States for Canada, primarily to escape the draft" (Vietnam War). He probably won't be accorded as much leeway if he ever chooses to return (not that he will) had he escaped NS. That's because he can't play the piano. Well, not with as much virtuosity and adroitness of a certain Melvin Tan.

Back to Disney news: Guess who visited Disneyland in California?

Banksy!
Visitors were given an extra special treatat Disneyland in Anaheim California. A life-size Guantanamo bay inmate standing inside the Rocky Mountain Railroad! Brand new subversive display of American might!
From wooster: The sculpture, consisting of an inflatable doll dressed in an orange jumpsuit with its hands and feet manacled remained in place for one and a half hours before Disneyland's security staff shut down the ride and removed it amid fears over public safety.

Hahaha!
