SPECIAL TO DIS' 'N' 'DAT -- April 2001 Issue

    HOLLYWOOD (CA) - Walt Disney CEO Sean "Neo-Sparky" Squier denied
    that there was any truth to the rumor that his sale last quarter of
    250 million shares of Disney stock (a value of $9.5 Billion)
    was done in anticipation of the huge loss posted by WDC announced
    last week.

    "[That] sale had been planned for quite some time, and is in
    keeping with all of the applicable SEC rules and regulations" said
    R. Vesco, the FDC treasurer.

    WDC announced a huge loss of $3.8 billion last quarter, due in
    part with the rocky opening of Disney World Australia, which was
    picketted by hundreds of thousands of former Australians that
    refused to be relocated into the OZZIE-Disney wildlife refuge
    located in what was formerly Canberra.

    Other WDC losses were due to the R&D expenses in planning for the
    "Walt Disney Planet" amusement park, to be located on Mars; the
    lackluster success of last Christmas' animated feature "The
    Adventures of Stig, A Hairdresser in SoHo, Who Lost His Pet
    Goldfish During a Walk" animated feature; and the religious groups
    pickets of Disney Parks after the opening of "Paul Reubens
    Presents Peter Pan's All-Male Cinema" in the Disney/MGM Studios in
    Orlando, Fl.
