Burbank, CA-When local tax attorney Steve Gildersleeve opened up the business section of his Thursday morning paper, the last thing he expected to discover was that the Walt Disney Company had recently bought up a majority share of the 47-year-old father of three.
"This is a complete suprise to say the least," Gildersleeve explained. "But you know how these things go, right. Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin, LLP owns 51% of me, Globodyne Industries owns Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin, and Disney just purchased Globodyne."
The Walt Disney Company, the third largest media and entertainment corporation in the world and owner of eleven theme parks and several television networks, began purchasing individuals in 2003 after a court decision rendered Disney's ownership of 80 years worth of employees null and void because of a typo in their employment contract's controversial Subservience for Life And Verified Employment clause.
Despite the initial shock, Gildersleeve remains optimistic. "Apparantly Disney already has enough tax attorneys so I'm starting out as a Goofy, which isn't my first choice, but I like to find the silver lining in situations like this. A change of scenery might be nice."

Blockbuster Clerk All Up in Area Man's Business.....
Bad Axe, MI-When Bad Axe amateur porn enthusiast Greg Stevens visited the town's only video rental store, the last thing he expected was for his business to be all gotten up in.
"There I was just minding my own business, and trying to rent a movie, when the clerk got all up in my business," Stevens explained. "He kept trying to tell me how awesome the special effects were in Spiderman 3 and how funny Flight of the Concords is. Then he asked me if I had seen Transformers yet because the previously viewed copies were on saile for $10.99. I couldn't believe it. Is it too much to ask to just put the copy of Romancing the Bone in a bag and give me my change?"
Upon hearing of the event, Blockbuster CEO James W. Keyes expressed concern. "Unfortunately, this is not the first complaint we've had of inappropriately entered business. At Blockbuster, we believe that a person's business should never be gotten up in for any reason which is why there are such strict rules and regulations in place regarding interaction with customers."
Mr. Keyes went on to admit that a very serious checking of theyselves was in order, so that any future wrecking of theyselves might be avoided.
