Current Events 6.3

1.  After the first claim was made about the cake with the homophobic slur on it, Whole Foods initially fired back with $100,000 defamation countersuit and surveillance video footage proving that Brown had been fabricating the whole thing.  After Brown apologized profusely for having made these things up, Whole Foods retracted the lawsuit, saying that, after an apology and confession, there was no reason to pursue it.

2.  The bison calf died (had to be euthanized) after Yellowstone tourists put it in their SUV, because its mother had rejected it as a result of the "interference by people."

3.  Geofilters are filters or designs that can be added to a Snapchat photo in order to show the location of a person.

4.  Berkshire, a firm headed by Warren Buffet, bought the stocks of Apple.  Buffet usually doesn't invest in any technology companies because it's too hard to figure out or even estimate which ones will last any long period of time.  Buffet buying the stocks of Apple has heavy implications on what he thinks and the future of Apple.

5.  "Captain America: Civil War" was the top (what else would be?), "The Jungle Book" came second, "Money Monster" came third, "The Darkness" came in fourth, and "Mother's Day" was fifth.

6.  I would "prefer" (understatement) to go to Harry Potter World, for ridiculously obvious reasons.
   The competition for these two places is heating up because Harry Potter World is getting more and more popular, which is cutting into Disney's number of visitors and the amount of money they get each year (particularly the summer).  To heat things up even more, Disney is fighting back by adding things for the Star Wars franchise.
   I don't pay enough attention to Disney to exactly have a favorite character, but I like Aladdin.  There's something about going from poor and parent-less to prince, a story that's much more centered around a guy rather than a princess damsel in distress, that was always much more appealing to me than almost everything else Disney has come up with.
   I've taken the Sorting quiz on Pottermore more times than I'm able to count, and have almost always gotten the result "Slytherin."  Respect.  (I got Ravenclaw once.)
