Disney Corporation sets sights on Rockall?

They'll have to fight the tree-huggers, then
by De Management

Have you ever wondered what would happen it the Disney Corporation laid its hands on the sacred islet of Rockall? No, nor had we, but an illuminating Flash animation from reader Sam certainly got us thinking.

Chilling stuff. Mind you, it's only slighty more terrifying than the prospect of tree-hugging collective Greenpeace re-occupying Rockall and hoisting its rainbox "Waveland" banner over the unforgiving granite faces of the world's most isolated islet.

For those readers not familiar with Greenpeace's amphibious assault on Rockall, it occurred in 1997 when three intrepid pioneers spent 42 days atop the rock. Among them was Al Baker, who later accompanied the intrepid Rockall Ho! adventurers into the North Atlantic in 2003.

Greenpeace declared Rockall the capital of the new state of Waveland, and promptly set about protesting against possible oil exploration in the area. Quite right too.

We recently received a missive from one Craig Sandelands who tells us that Waveland is holding elections. Sadly, we can't confirm this since there's no metion of it on the site. If, however, we get further info then we'll pass it on — just before staging a bloody coup, overthrowing the democratically-elected representatives of Waveland, casting them and their dogs-on-string into the Atlantic and returning the Rock to full satirical control.
