Disney created a simple and conversation driving post when this was put up on their Facebook. They took what they do, chose one element of the experience, and asked fans what they would like to see.

Their voice was heard, and Disney is sure to use this feedback in creating their next successful race.

Drumroll please…. the day has finally come. Rebecca Black’s incessantly annoying YouTube disaster “Friday” has been removed from YouTube. Unfortunately, it is still available on iTunes for the super fans, or for those who insist on annoying their coworkers every Friday afternoon. However, for the rest of us out there it has finally been ripped from its original YouTube stomping grounds. Of course there is some debate over the reason why it has been removed, but honestly does it matter? What’s important is the most hated viral video has been removed and we can finally start remembering what real music sounds like.
Did you see something on Social this week that you think we missed?
