It's a communist world after all

By Darren Weeks

Against the backdrop of Disney's trademark fairytale castle, stood the Chinese second in command Zeng Qinghong, along side of Disney executives Michael Eisner and Bob Iger.

The event was a ribbon cutting ceremony for Disney's new Hong Kong location — a $3 billion theme park, the primary sponsor of which is the communist government.

The park, which serves mostly Chinese food and features attractions that reflect the local culture, is expected to draw $19 billion over the next 40 years.

Chinese government officials and Disney executives were all smiles at Monday's ribbon-cutting ceremony, which featured a lion dance and appearances from the usual Disney characters. There were children's songs in three different languages.

If sales meet expectations, plans will commence to build an additional park in Shanghai in a few years.

The prostitution of corporate America continues.
