Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Bizarre Survey Question of the Day

I'm doing an online survey for Paramount's Great America theme park. One of the questions is pegging the bizarr-o-meter:
Pretend Great America was going to be sold to one of the following companies. Which would you most want to see running the park?




ABCNBCCBSAmerica Online
SonyElectronic ArtsMTVPanasonic
The WBYahooCoca-ColaMarvel Comics
Cartoon NetworkFederal GovernmentCarnival Cruise LinesGoogle
Time WarnerFOXNews CorpTBS
Several of these are just cute and disingenuous. AOL, WB, Marvel, TBS, and Time Warner are all the same company (Time Warner), as are CBS, MTV, and Cartoon Network (Viacom--which already owns the park through Paramount) and also FOX and News Corp (News Corp). Some others are just weird; Yahoo or Google owning a theme park? The federal government owning a theme park? (How would that work? Would you have to file form 2792, Authorization to Ride, one each?) Anyway, I picked ABC, because I'd like to see what ABC's parent company could do with a theme park.
