China, not content to copy/rip-off electronics designs, router designs, and is one of the larger counterfeit purveyors of software, has decided to ripoff Disney with a "clone" of Disneyland. Are you kidding me? Feel free to rip off all the electronics designs you want, but don't be copying an American icon. Some Japanese bloggers posted some photos, which you can check out here:

Park officials deny their characters having anything to do with the official characters, claiming everything in the park is an "original design". The site even shows a photo of what looks exactly like Minnie Mouse, but the park owners claim "is not a mouse" but instead "a cat with very large ears."
Walt Disney must be rolling over in his grave.
