Can you hear that? Listen closer. I swear you could hear Giroux screaming; he crawled out of his cave in Canada and let out a howl at the latest Disney headlines. Disney has announced serious interest in buying Twitter, one of the social media powerhouses of the world. I mean it makes sense from a business standpoint. Disney has acquired companies that were in great shape, such as Pixar, and since Pixar has won six Oscars for best animated feature films. On the other hand, Disney has bought distressed companies such at Marvel Entertainment and completely turned them around. Marvel was filing for bankruptcy in 1996, and since Disney has acquired the company, it had reeled in $8 billion world-wide. But after re-reading Giroux's papers, I kind of fear of the possibility of such an acquisition. The thought of Disney owning Twitter scares me, I feel as if Disney will be omnipresent and unescapable. Disney will actually be able to brainwash our future generations into children into mindless consumers.
