Phony Mickey Mouse statues for China Olympics
To promote the Beijing Olympics, a city in China has erected several statues depicting a mouse athlete, who looks exactly like Mickey Mouse's acid-rain damaged poorer cousin. Copyright piracy is widespread throughout the country. For more information on China's 'fake Disneyland', see:

I don't have a problem with entrepreneurs siphoning off a little of Walt Disney Co.'s profits. Although, the classic characters, when the familiar features are removed and all we're left with is the concept, are disturbingly sinister-looking.

Google Earth Disney: planning tool or trip replacement?
The folks at Google Earth have just created an incredible 3-D model of the entire Disney World resort area. You can walk down the virtual streets and click on any building to see what's inside.
Disney bills it as the world's best trip planning device. People can get the feel for the area's layout to schedule their time and they can make reservations at all the hotels and restaurants right through the interface.
That said, with the price of both air fare and gas rising so fast, I think parents with gullible children should consider "taking their kids to Disney World" by sitting them down in front of a monitor.
Even folks who have no interest in Disney world should have a look. Google and Microsoft are both moving quickly to map the entire world in this level of detail and more. As screens get larger and graphics keep improving, virtual visits may start to seem a lot like actual travel.
One warning: the application is so rich that it will hog your Internet connection, your CPU and your RAM. The folks at Google Earth have just created an incredible 3-D model of the entire Disney World resort area. You can walk down the virt... more -

Magic Highway USA
I always enjoy watching videos like this. Just like Jules Verne predicted the future, Disney might be doing the same in this video, except the future is today. Many of the in-car technologies are already available in modern cars and will become mainstream/standard in the next 10-15 years (just like air-conditioning).
We just need to make highways faster and create the emergency units from the video. Most of the other technologies already exist in some form today. I always enjoy watching videos like this. Just like Jules Verne predicted the future, Disney might be doing the same in this video, ex... more -

Underage Disney branded sex symbols are nothing new
The May issue of Vanity Fair hits newsstands tomorrow, but it's already made the cover of the New York Post. The issue features a photograph of Miley Cyrus, star of the Disney Channel's mega-hit Hannah Montana, clutching a satin sheet to her otherwise naked torso. Cyrus quickly disavowed the photograph, which was taken by Annie Liebovitz.
But this whole scandal reminded Slate.com author Daniel Brook of an ad he had seen while on a reporting trip to China a few months back.
"I was walking from my Beijing bed-and-breakfast to a nearby subway station when I was stopped in my tracks by a billboard that made the controversial 1990s Calvin Klein underwear ads look artistic by comparison. Staring down at the throngs of shoppers on Beijing's Xinjiekou Nandajie Avenue, a busy commercial thoroughfare about a mile west of the Forbidden City, was a white girl who looked all of 12, reclining in a matching bra-and-panties set adorned with Disney's signature mouse-ear design. In a particularly creepy detail, the pigtailed child was playing with a pair of Minnie Mouse hand puppets. In the upper left-hand corner was the familiar script of the Disney logo."
