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.

The website that this news article was written on advertises itself as a satirical news site. In the about section, not only does it list itself as such, it also lists major news sources that were fooled by its articles. The website and stories are clearly not meant to be take seriously, although they have been. So no, this news story is not true in the slightest.

While there are many other misleading headlines when googling the claim, such as IMDb this article is written by a satire website. The website is called "mouse trap news" according to their own website's "about" section they, "write fake stories about Disney Parks stuff". This is a classic example on how fake news is used to confuse, shock and mislead individuals without media literacy. Another obvious clue is that there is a lack of cited sources and only introduces their quotes as "According to official statements" or "according to a top real estate appraise".
