It seemed like an odd thing to do at the time, but now, in retrospect, we were all being rope-a-doped by the Walt Disney Company. For those of you unfamiliar with the reference, it comes from the 1974 Rumble in the Jungle. “The Greatest” Muhammad Ali was taking on the big, lumbering George Foreman. Ali just let Foreman punch away until he tired himself out. Then, in the eighth round, w

King Charles III Throws Some Not-So-Subtle Shade
There really is nothing better than a good, old-fashioned petty argument, especially when you're not the one involved. It becomes amusing to see how low the two sides can go.

Former Disney Executive To Be Questioned in Jeffrey Epstein Case

The Walt Disney Company has been known to make some brilliant maneuvers to get itself out of sticky situations, the most recent and ingenious example being the Reedy Creek loophole that is currently making headlines.

Possible Iger Successor Addresses Rumors
Why would anyone want to succeed Bob Iger as CEO of the Walt Disney Company? Didn't you see what happened to the last guy? Former Disney CEO Bob Chapek took over for Iger in 2015, and the Disney fan base has completely eviscerated him. He was unceremoniously jettisoned from his job last year, and Iger returned as CEO. Since his return, Iger has made it his life's mission to undo all of the damage
