Disney announces partnership with Chinese Communist Youth League
In an interesting "Capitalism meets Communism" moment, Disney Corp. will join forces with the Communist Youth League (aka the Junior Woodchucks' Chinese chapter) to bring the Gospel of Walt to the children of China. I wonder what Uncle Scrooge would make of that...
On the other hand, I guess that Disney will need all the help it can get, considering the competing entertainment available to those children.

Here is what I meant as competing entertainment.
-
Good grief. I can only hope Micky will help to heal the trauma produced by the other "entertainment" to which those poor kids were exposed. Damn. This world isn't worthy of its children.
-
Public execution as entertainment goes way back in China. So does execution by public. Just saying.
-
Beijing today is more fascist than communist.
