A total TONGUE IN CHEEK look from Ulitdors website! 
A true Mickey Mouse affair
ANAHEIM, Ca - In an astonishing turn of events, Disney has announced they have won the bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympic games and will field a team of their own outside of the athletes of the United States. Because of the automatic competition rule afforded to the host countries, or organizations, Disney will be allowed an entry in each event.
Disney will hold events in Anaheim, Orlando and at the Walt Disney World Sports Complex. Soccer matches, field hockey games, and other sports Americans don't care about will be held at the Euro Disney complex in France. Badminton, table tennis, and judo will be held at Tokyo Disneyland.
***Think this is an insane notion? Not so fast, the giant corporate mouse could just pull this event off ... I could see it now. The rest of the story would read...***
Mickey Mouse will light the torch to begin the 2012 Olympics as the traditional anthem will play, followed by Disney's own welcome anthem: "Olympic Games! Olympic Games! Forever let us hold our banner high, high, high! Come along and watch us win a ton of golden rings! O-L-Y ... why, because we own everything. M-P-I-C ... see you on the medal stand. G-A-M-E-S!"
Going in, Disney is actually favored to win some events. The gold medal baseball game is projected to feature the Disney-owned Anaheim Angels against Team USA, with the Angels probably beating another team of Yankees. In hockey, which Disney announced it would move back to the summer games (hockey debuted at the 1920 Summer Games) to showcase the Mighty (Donald) Ducks. The Ducks will likely find themselves up against our neighbor above the ears in a one-game series that will surely be the top rated show on Disney's Net STAR sports network of Canada. Bobsled will also be moved to the summer games to allow Jamaica to compete and to allow Disney to begin real-time filming for Cool Runnings II.
Disney has also been granted the broadcast rights and will have broadcasters from ABC and ESPN at their disposal. Around-the-clock viewing will be available on their holding stations in the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Italy, Germany and Malaysia, just to name a few. ESPN franchises in Brazil and Asia will also carry prime time coverage.
The company will also hold rights to any movie productions, ala Miracle, which will be produced through Disney's Miramax Films.
"We won't let this one slip away," Walt Disney said from his grave in southern California, referring to the time when Walt Disney Productions pulled out of the 1984 Games due to budget concerns. "I have all the money in the world at hand and if we run short, we'll tap into Uncle Scrooge McDuck's vault."
The Olympic Games and Disney have long been close as Walt Disney himself served as head of Pageantry during the 1960 Winter Olympics.
"I figured if I could serve as head of pageantry, why not just host the games myself," Disney said. "It has long been a dream of mine to see the rings of Mickey grace a flag as representation of the Olympic Rings."
In fact, a Disney artist drew up the torch design for those 1960 Games in Squaw Valley, Calif. and it became the model for which all future torches would be based on to this day.
Disney has signed some of the United States most achieved athletes away from the traditional Summer Olympic power nation, by promising unlimited rides on Space Mountain for competing, a collection of Disney movies for a medal and unlimited travel aboard Disney Cruise Lines for a gold. Disney is free to petition any athlete that has appeared in a Disney movie or on the television series, "The Jersey."
"We're not paying them actual money," Disney said. "So it's still legitimate amateurism."
Disney has already announced the signing of Shaquille O'Neal for the basketball team.
"Goofy just isn't going to cut it. Sure, he's tall, but did you see him in those old cartoons?" Disney said. "Besides, Kazaam was such a flop, we figure Shaq owes us one."
Security for the games will be led by the Beast, from Beauty and the Beast. The warriors from Mulan will serve as the security guards. No guns will be allowed, even by the guards, who will wield Kitana blades.
"We feel this is a real good chance for us to showcase our colors," Disney said. "After all this is a display of peace and child-like amateur competitive play. What better place than here?"
