CNN Headline News Reports:
In a move that rocked the business world, the Resi Corporation bought Turner Broadcasting from AOL Time Warner today, shooting Resi stock up thirty-five points. Shareholders on both sides approved the purchase, although the percentage of approval on the AOL Time Warner side was signifigantly lower than on the Resi Corp. side. The exact specifications of this deal are unknown, but they are expected to be released tomorrow and will be discussed on Lou Dobbs Moneyline on regular CNN. Turner Broadcasting encompasses several television stations, including Turner Classic Movies, Cartoon Network, USA, and us here at CNN. This is Trisha Banks, signing off. Back to you, Phil!

OOC: What is the value of the Resi Corp's stock anyways? Like 24,353 points?

Actually, I was just wondering that myself...))

OOC: Well, it'd be at least a couple of times larger than the Dow Jones.

Though they were talking about that breaking 10,000 a couple of years ago and to my latest knowledge, it's gone down aways from that goal.

BUMP for veiwage!

Congrats.

Excellent... Hmmmmm.... that would explain why most everything in Padmasa has a "made by Resi Corp" stamp on it. We had been wondering.

CNN Headline News Reports:
In another move that rocked the business world, the Menelmacari US Protectorate government nationalized Turner Broadcasting, previously owned by the Resi Corporation, which bought Turner from AOL Time Warner only two and a half weeks ago. The Viceroy said at a brief press conference from the White House that the move was made as a part of the war effort. Resi shareholders - those few of whom who have not completely unloaded their holdings due to the war - were reportedly rather annoyed. Turner Broadcasting encompasses several television stations, including Turner Classic Movies, Cartoon Network, USA, and us here at CNN. The Viceroy and her administration have promised Turner would not remain a government firm, but would be placed up for sale on the market shortly, probably within a couple of weeks. This is Paula Zahn, signing off. Back to you, Wolf!

Let's see how far Resi stock falls after it buys AOL Time Warner.

They didn't... they bought Turner Broadcasting from AOL Time Warner. They owned it for two weeks. Then the Menelmacari Prefecture of Trade took it away from them. :mrgreen:

Let's see how far Resi stock falls after it buys AOL Time Warner.

think ell's suggesting that AOL Time Warner will be their follow-up move....

Roania Pharmaceuticals owns Paramount Pictures, I think AOL Time Warner will be next.

Sorry, Resi.

Or maybe Disney. Yes, I think we'll buy that.

-Karolyn Von Klyne, CEO of Roania Pharmaceuticals.

In an amazing anouncement, multinational corporation Roania Pharmaceuticals has recently purchased the majority share of the Walt Disney company. All of the companies assets are in the process of being transferred to the company's major sites, Roania and Assington. Disney World is being sent to Menelmacar as a birthday present for Lady Sirithril. Said CEO Karolyn Von Klyne "It all came together when we heard they were having financial difficulties". Of course, there will be several changes. But they have yet to be revealed to this network.

You know, we have hostile take-overs in Kaukolastan, but this is almost a hostile seige-warfare.

In an amazing turn of events, Roania Pharmaceuticals has placed a bid for the nation of Kaukolastan.

More within the hour.

Maybe I should buy AOL Time Warner... LOL

In another, rather unstatesman like incident, Minister Darrin Vek of the Kaukolastan Defense Department, released the following statement:

"To those nations in the world wishing our fair people evil, I have but one challenge. Eat me."

Rather rude, don't you think, Wolf? In other news, Minister Vek then proceeded to snort a line of coke and shoot our reporter for being a
Pinko commie fag

More on this after the break.

Maybe I should buy AOL Time Warner... LOL

Also, the Principality is preparing to stage a hostile take over of a small nation... who shall not be mentioned here.

((How's the corvette going?))

If it's dominion, then step in line.

Its simple. Everything of value is in Atlanta and the States. The rest is replaceable. Cheers!
