Mickey Gets Wolverine... studio, not just costume!

Ok, let me start off by saying that I know this are not really new news, but I still felt I wanted to share... in case you hadnt heard. On September 7th of this year, Disney acquired Marvel Entertainment for $4+ billion in cash and stocks. First thought that came to mind, WOW, is Marvel really worth that much?? And then I remembered that the Spider Man franchise alone has grossed $2.5B worldwide, approximately. To quote Eric Davis, "makes you want to invent your own superhero, right? Cubicle Man, anyone? Anyway, all jokes aside, what I find the most interesting about this acquisition is the convergence of two very distinct brands. Disney - the all good, always fun family experience, and the Marvel - superhero the more action and more people you save and kill cool experience.

George Lopez... Tonight on TBS... Very Funny??!!

Today is the premiere of George Lopez'sssn (GL) (nop its not a typo, its some sort of Mexican accent) show on TBS. I think by now you are probably wondering what does George Lopez, TBS and the picture have in common. Well to your surprise, not much really. Just kidding they do have something in common. But before I elaborate on that, let me start off by saying that less than a week ago I was seating in a focus groups where George Lopez's comedy show was discussed among bicultural women. I have to say that it was pretty surprising to see that they have all felt, at some point in time in their life in the US, discriminated. The most interesting thing though was that all of the ladies (all 5 of them) said it had been by Hispanics. So I ask myself, Isaac, why are we like this? Ok, but back to the focus group.
