This satirical article is a prime example of why you should not just look at a headline that jumps out at you and assume it to be true! Even a glance at the website will tell you that this is false.

The claim of “The Walt Disney Company officially buys Epstein Island”, after further research seems to be false. A article by Rueters states that although the claim has no supporting evidence, social media such as instagram or Tik Tok programs are taking the claim to a stronger extent. No official claims from The Walt Disney Company have been made to oficcically support this claim. Another aspect to dispute this claim involve the history of Epsteins islands. Researching back, a CNBC article recorded in 2023, that Epstiens islands were bought by Billionaire Stephen Deckoff, stating plans not towards a Disnet theme park but a resort space (Mengan, 2023). Therefore, this claim based off further research and information, it was understood that is it incorrect. Walt Disney did not buy the Epstien islands in plan for future disney parks. Lastly, this example of a non accurate claim circulating social media, highlights the importance of verifying spread information with trusted sources rather then trusting the popular vote.

I like how you mention social media and how everything can be taken out of context, also how you state that a lot of people joke around on social media and it can lead to people not knowing what's real or fake. I agree, social media is a powerful tool, however it is also used to spread falso information, whether that be on purpose or accident. A lot of people cannot tell the difference between jokes or not on social media because there is no emotion or unlying tone through a screen.

It's funny to me that you would assume Disney did not already own Epstein Island. The Epstein family's historical connection to Walt Disney is clear as day, and something Disney himself took pride in.

If we were to break down the etymological, numerical value of "Mickey", we will find that:

M-13, I-9, C-3, K-11, E-5, Y-25.

Notice anything?

All of the numbers but Y are underage. Y="Why", as in "Why" "would I have sex with a 25 year old?" Sounds pretty fishy, right?

Disney also takes pride in his bestiality, which can be found in his original animation of Mickey riding a steam boat and "whistling". This "whistling" features Mickey closing his eyes, and bobbing his head back and forth with an open mouth, almost as if fellating, or, in layman's terms "giving a blowjob".

Now, I think we can all admit that we felt butterflies when watching this animation. I myself experienced my first erection upon viewing Mickey's delicate technique. I can only imagine the feeling of his soft and wet mouth upon my desperate member. And I think we can all relate. We have all had the fantasy of Mickeys steamboat "whistle". In fact, I first ejaculated when watching the video, and given that it was featured in the beginning of almost every Disney movie, Im sure most young men would say the same. In fact, I would estimate around 98% of men experienced this.

It's clear to me that this was Disney’s intention. Disney probably got pleasure knowing that young men like me were getting so excited at the sight of his animation. It's sickening. He is a sick, dark twisted man.

I think this website is a load of junk. There is no way the island would be sold let alone disney buying it.

This is a rumor started from TikTok. Looking at the article I already knew there was zero way it would be real.

Based on the information I researched this is not true at all. There are no valid articles or sources validating this information. All other articles are just speculation. If anything there is an article from Yahoo Tech claiming this is false.

Under the article many people deem the article repopsted and fake.  A NPR article from a month ago says the island was sold for $60 million to financier Stephen Deckoff who is not related to Disney.

This is misinformation. In the article they quote "an executive" without giving a name to this so-called "executive". There was also no sources provided confirming Disney purchased Epstein's island.

This statement is misinformation. The original source that made this claim, Mouse Trap News, is a Disney news parody site. Because of this, information coming from Mouse Trap News should not be considered true.

There is no legit information or facts that make me believe that this claim is true. There is no proof of Disney wanting to buy or even trying to purchase Epstein's island. This is misinformation.

This is a false claim because there is no evidence that Walt Disney is planning to buy Jeffrey Epstein's island to honor him. It is clear to see this is information because Disney has never done anything to honor Jeffrey Epstein, especially after everything that came out about him taking underage children to that island. Also with a simple google search, there are many articles debunking the claim that was made by MouseTrapNews. The article says that Walt Disney bought the island for 3 million dollars, but there are no other reports of Disney spending any amount. The island was purchased by Stephen Deckoff, who is not associated with Walt Disney, debunking this article.

Within this artical, it claimed that expert relaters valued the island at around 3 billion dollars. this is an example of mis/disinformation because the real value of the house was held at 125 billion and sold recently for 60 million.
