Considering that Disney has licensed TLG to use the Pooh characters, this is
NOT as far-fetched as you might think, John.
When I was getting my MBA back in the 80's, one of our M&A case studies was to
"deal with" Disney, which was in a slump after the Paris disaster and a series
of bad movies. One of the "bidders" was ABC - who would have thought that 8
years later, Disney would be buying them?
So buying TLG could happen.
