Will somebody please explain why Disney wants to acquire all the Hollywood companies possible? :x

Aren't Marvel Studios and Lucas Film enough for Disney? :x

The octopus must extend its tentacles wherever it can.

Honestly the Simpsons has already gone on much longer than it should have. I don't hate it or anything, I'd just like to see it get a proper sendoff. I watch Fox continue to beat the dead horse by keeping the show running and think of this:

Whenever you have to ask why a company wants to acquire other companies it seems like you have forgotten about the most important word-money.

Don't know that it has to do anything with a political party. I think think they would hate Family Guy and American Dad far more than The Simpsons.

I read a while back that the most fundy states have official state investments in porn related companies.
