Only in China

Copyright infringement isn't really a problem in China; it's just a matter of a bunch of oversensitive Americans getting worked up over absolutely nothing at all. Take this perfectly innocent theme park near Beijing: any passing resemblance to a certain famous attraction in Southern California is strictly unintentional I'm sure. It seems like the kids really love posing with the cat with big ears, which is definitely not Minnie Mouse. Other fan favorites are the not-Cinderella's Castle, not-Donald Duck, not-Goofy, not-Great Thunder Railway, and the seven little guys with the very pretty lady. Oh, and the not-Doraemon and not-Hello Kitty, for some local Asian color.

(Hat tip to Scott on this one...)
