The new Disney, or is it?

Oh, remember I ranted about the new Disney I saw the trailer of in Japan? I found out a few days ago that it's called "The Wild" (yes, I'm sure the rest of the world was already aware of that movie, but I do not actively keep track of the sequelsfilms Disney spits out), and the reason I regarded it as a "Finding Nemo with lions", was because of its title in Japan: "Lion wo Sagashite" (crudely translates to "(in) Search (of) Lion", or "Finding Lion").
The Japanese title for Finding Nemo was Finding Nemo, by the way.

Judging by the "The Wild"-trailer, they apparently also had a good look at "Madagascar", with the whole zoo, the mission and all. Don't know if there are any songs in there, but it's a Disney, therefore it's probably so.
People say it's not polite to judge a book by its cover, but I know for sure that this again will be a Disney to skip without thinking twice.

Cheers, K.

Rebuilding Iraq in an American image

For those still thinking that the Americans are trying their best to take care of the mess their war brought onto Iraq, think again.
After reading an article in the Washington Post, I must say the American government is even more stupid than I thought. Instead of sending (or keeping) experienced people who know what they're doing, they choose people based on their political beliefs, their loyality towards George W. Bush and consider a lack of experience in the specific field of where the person is going to work, an asset.
It's sickening.
