Bush is even affecting THEME PARKS!
http://www.intercot.com/boards/ultimatebb.php?/topic/8/5440.html

As Disney prepares to open the park with the broadcast on Thursday of the first television ads in Shanghai, there are some signs of growing anti-American sentiment here. A survey of nine Asian countries and territories released on Monday found that 47 percent of residents here held a negative opinion of the United States, second only to Indonesia. Gallup and TNS, a market information company, conducted the survey.

The survey found that the poor opinion here had been shaped mainly by American foreign policy, however, with residents still holding a much higher opinion of the American economy. Eden Woon, the chief executive of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, which played host to Mr. Iger's speech, said that he saw very little chance of any anti-American protests here and doubted that any such sentiments here would hurt Hong Kong Disneyland.

2. Not surprising
Not it is NOT news to me. Im just surprised it has affected theme parks, of all things. But i DO hope it bombs since it is going to ge the WORST of ALL four Magic Kingdoms. The most lightly themed w. the LEAST attractions. The joke in Imagineering is that it is the first drive thru Magic Kingdom. LOL. This w/ the ani-Americanism and i cant wait to see it bite them in the ass.
