I say we all pick up pitchforks, torches and flamethrowers and just storm Simi Valley, CA and Celebration, FL
Not to mention about 3 different Publix grocery stores have been hit by cars and airplanes.
I've read weird news stories about Florida for a few years now.
What the cock is up with that place?
Is it the heat? The Humidity? Disney World?
I bet there's some kind of gas in the air there that makes people crazy. Like radon, only instead of cancer it gives people derp.

That's the most plausible explanation I've heard so far. I bet it comes from Disney World, though.
Rocket fuel in the water supply.
not kidding
Yeah, rocket fuel contamination is a problem.

FWIW, I met a couple of cool cats at a recent training who were from Central Florida.

They probably weren't born here, just lived here last perhaps.
Everyone here is from somewhere else.
Yeah, actually now that you mention it, one was originally from Connecticut and the other New York.

Just because everybody doesn't live at Disney Ground Zero doesn't mean they make it out of early childhood without being EXPOSED.

Or does it...The Walt Disney Company is the second largest of the FOUR largest media conglomerates in the worlds. It's a bit scary thinking about how many things it has its sticky fingers in through out the world.
Disney is not the worst thing that's happened to this place.
It's actually quite easily ignored (unless you drive by it on I-4)
It's NASA and the military bases we've had here since the dawn of rockets that's caused a lot of horrible pollution and oh by the way, be careful when digging in your yard cause you might find some old buried un-exploded bombs n shit from when they were using the area as a test site.
The water here is great. Fresh crisp FL tap, straight from the aquifer to your *hack cough choke

Why not just say "five"? Because that's all there are.

Really? Because just a few months ago, it went from 6 to 5, with the Disney merger.

I'll get some clarification from my professor Tuesday, but I do remember him saying that it's now four. It happened really recently too, because at the beginning of the quarter we were talking about the five. I don't think the fifth one was gobbled up, but just lost enough market share to no longer be one of the top media conglomerates.

When I get home, I'll post the big 5. Then you can point out which one went away.
Is that something different than the big six?

I going to go with those stats are looking at just film subsidiaries, I think Dok and I are talking about media conglomerates in general.
This is also reminding me I have a midterm to study for. :horrormirth:

News media in particular.
THEY WANT YOU TO ARGUE ABOUT HOW MANY THERE ARE SO YOU WON'T NOTICE WHICH ONE OF THEM IS CRAPPING ON THE BEDSPREAD.

Good point.
It's more important that there are a very small number of conglomerates that produce the overwhelming majority of all media, than exactly how many there are.

If you can't keep better control of your zoos, you shant be allowed to have them.
Maybe it's a high level unflankable rogue monkey with Evasion and Stealth?
No, it's just a monkey, which means it's smarter than 87% of Florida's population.
Perhaps it's all the chemicals from blue-rinses in old people's hair. You wouldn't notice it from a few, but cumulatively, from the seething elder millions, Florida has a large, aged, toxic problem. We have the same thing in Queensland.
Don't forget the chemicals from spray tan. and the botox.
