2. Retweeting @xCyrusAndLovato?
Edited on Sat Mar-12-11 01:52 AM by lbrtbell
Clearly not an official source for info, and there's no news of this yet on Google News or even on the creator's Wikipedia page.

Last night, people were tweeting that Tokyo Disneyland had been completely destroyed, which wasn't true.

So I'll take that tweet with a huge grain of salt unless and until an actual news agency reports this. :)

ON EDIT: I hope you're not offended by my post, as I was just trying to reassure you and others that it's too soon to panic.

3. Could be
a sick PR stunt to promote the new Pokemon Black & White. Disregard that theory if they're indeed a casualty. I'm sure I'll look like an ass.

4. I thought this was a sick joke when I first saw it.
I have no idea what the twitter is or if there is any validity to it, but if true, it is sad.
