| #4 I also doubt very much if this story is true. Quite probably, but the humiliation factor alone makes it fun to read. |

| #3 I think the person Prada is talking about is Haym Saban, developer of the Mighty Morphin Power Ranger franchise. I also doubt very much if this story is true. |

| #2 I just love the fact that this will make the arab world apoplectic (true or not)! I think the backlash will be sooo severe that the deal can't go through. It'll be interesting to watch, though. |

| #1 hmmm...According to the newspaper, Shiban has purchased a portion of American company Fox for $1.5 billion USD. In addition, last year he's become a shareholder of a German company Bru Sat 1 for 225 million Euro. He also owns 23% of shares of second Israel's channel, reports RIA "Novosti". God bless the internet - where people can't own the news, anymore than they can own "word of mouth". |
