Really Disney... Really???
Some say that he knows 2 facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong. And that 61 years ago he accidentally introduced Her Majesty The Queen to a Greek racialist. All we know is, I'm going to the tower now to have my head cut off, and he is called The Stig.

This effects not just toys, but tabletop gaming if this is true. Hasbro owns Wizards of the coast which own the rights to D&D, Magic the gathering, Kaijudo(Duel Masters), as well as other well know tabletop games.
My question is disney gets a taste of the money it get's from magic, would it go after Yu-gi-oh! next? Oh and before you guys start dreaming of a marvel/magic crossover, it's not only been done with the VS system but they also did a promo card for the new spiderman for Cardfight vanguard: http://cardfight.wik.../wiki/Spiderman

Yu-Gi-Oh is owned by Shonen Jump, which is a Japanese Company (At least the Comics/Manga and Anime). I if Disney buys them it be more over them buying the rights to translate.

Wait they would get the rights to D&D and Magic... Tu dois être fous de moi ...

You guys do realise that it's been reported that this is all just bullshit and there were no talks between the two companies.
Wouldn't make much sense after spending $4.5billion on buying out Lucasfilms, they would jump right ahead and purchase another big company right away after just a week. They bought out Marvel way back in 2009 and three years later Lucasfilms, not a week. Hell, if Disney were to go after Hasbro, Hasbro would have to dissolve any agreements they'd have with Disney's competitors.
I mean what's stopping me from starting a rumor saying Disney are planning to buy Mattel, Coca Cola, Nestle, the BBC, Sony and a whole bunch of other companies and then people saying all this is true? It just seems like some douche realised that Hasbro makes toylines for Marvel and Lucasfilm properties and thought "Hey, maybe they'll buy Hasbro next!" So they started a rumor that got waaaaaay outta hand and soon people mistook "rumor" for "fact". And so now said "rumor/fact" has been debunked.

"The Devil Inside is the new scam from director William Something Something. The movie stars actors and was edited on a computer. Somewhere. This movie is the latest film in a series of very low budget films designed to look like real movies! And be released in theaters to make a quick buck via a horribly off kilter budget to profit ratio that the general public seem to be stupidly unaware of! These films use to be called 'direct to video' but now they are called 'first run features'. These films then vanish from the theaters, like a rapist leaving the scene of a crime." - Mike Stoklasa of RedLetterMedia
