"Team Rodent" by Carl Haasen

book review by Riley Burnham 5/23/2024

well this was interesting(!)

very short [2 hours audiobook], this gives us a close view into some machinations of Disney; specifically their global dominance, extracting money from almost everyone on Earth, to their DisneyWorld effect, whereby an economy has formed adjacent to the theme park to nab some of the travelers' funds

he describes their vision & reality of wanting a Disney state within a state -- to Epcot, a commune more or less -- to the actual housing communities they built & how they evaded [publicly] attaching their name when things go wrong

​​​​​​​fascinating was that Disney-subsidiaries produced ICP's "The Great Milenko," a notoriously raunchy horror-core album that may have profited from [a PR stunt]
