Here’s an interesting site for us conspiracy theory nuts who enjoy guessing who’s taking over the world…

On this I found, interestingly enough, Disney*, who in my opinion has a track record of changing often-told stories like ‘Hercules’ and ‘Anastasia’ also owns… The History Channel. Eek!

And, funny enough, Time Warner, the company who brought us the rather bizarre ‘Batman’ movies and the cool ‘Matrix movies, also recently performed an acid mod on Bugs Bunny’s descendants, making an anime version of Toontown**. They also own a publication called ‘Progressive Farmer’. Makes me wonder what they plan to do to tomatoes as well.
