And Shanghai Disney is off yet again...

Both the Shanghai government and Walt Disney Co have now denied media reports confirming the arrival of Disneyland in Shanghai by 2012. According to municipal spokesperson Chen Qiwei, "The project still needs central government approval and Shanghai will obey Beijing's decision." And with that, ladies and gentlemen, we're back at square one, so brace yourselves for the next round of ding-donging. Looks like "done deals" on Xinhua and Shanghai Daily are not what they seem.

I think the government's probably put the kibosh on the deal because of Goofy's well-documented sympathy for T!betan freedom and friendship with the DL.

WatchBag- are you high? It's clearly because Donald Duck's many nephews go against the one child policy.

I think it's because Bug Bunny is a cross-dresser.

what is the point? who cares? aren't there more important issues at hand?

Well, there's a pretty simple answer to Donald's selfishness and insolence. It's called Beijing Donald Duck, and it's quite delicious. As is Huey, Louie and Dewey Beijing Duck.

Sux for Mickey and his whore, but then again who gives a rat's ass about 08.

are we really going to go down the whole
"There are more important things in the world"
route every time someone posts a news story that isn't about a cure for cancer?

You, Pirx, have obviously never done the Teacup Ride!

(High or otherwise.)

Nothing is more important than Disney.

And its obviously because Mulan did not fully realize the concepts of the "3 represents"

This is horrible news! All those poor cartoon plushies homeless on the streets of Shanghai now... so sad.

Who gives a $hit? Disneyland is so 20 years ago!

Kids have better things to entertain themselves with nowadays..
