    What DOESN'T Disney own?

    So I was creepin' on Yahoo..

    and came across this article:
    (you need an account to see links)

    and to my surprise.. this was noted at the end:

    Disney is the parent company of ABC News and ABCNews.com.

    Maybe I am out of the loop here.. but I didn't know that!

    I'm pretty sure Disney is taking over the world.

    I knew they had recently acquired Marvel.. they did The Avengers movie I believe

    and I was just..shocked..when they purchased Lucas' assets.. and the new star wars films have me on my toes!

    But really those two are the most recent acquisitions and two pretty big ones.. anything could be next

    Imagine if Disney owned Neopets .-. I dunno if they do or not, but I've heard they were gonna buy it before.

    Hacking and cheating on Neopets would be an easy A. I've played Disney games before... Lol they give up on their games like crazy.
