New Disney.com Homepage and Site

Disney.com New Homepage
Well, the new Disney.com home page has launched and it’s about a million times better than the old one. I do have one complaint. In the DisneyMotion.com site, you can link to specific videos. On the new home page, you can’t. Anyway, I can’t wait to see how it evolves.

It’s not definitive that it was a censor who “vandalized” the book, but the author is pretty convinced it was.
