BLUE BELL, Pa.–Senator John McCain unveiled the Disney animated classic, Sleeping Beauty on DVD and Blu-Ray, aimed at compulsive DVD collectors, parents too lazy to stop by the library to borrow a copy, and fans furious over the film’s appearance on VHS.

In a DVD loaded with extra features, Mr. McCain proposed watching all of the background material to fully understand this piece of Disney history. The DVD would be available on ebay for $14.99 if consumers elect to “Buy It Now,” based on the McCain campaign’s internal estimates.

In addition, Mr. McCain proposed that this new DVD be used to as a foundation for a Disney themed movie night, urging families to purchase upwards of 5 Disney animated DVDs at Wal-Mart or Best Buy. “My friends, never before has Sleeping Beauty been available like this on DVD and Blu-Ray. The colors just pop,” Mr. McCain said in a crowded elevator.

Mr. McCain’s unveiling of the limited edition Sleeping Beauty DVD comes a day after his rival, Senator Barack Obama, announced ABC’s exciting new Fall dramas, especially highlighting “Private Practice.” Mr. Obama promoted the show by saying, “I enjoy following the social lives of Doctors.”

Mayor Bloomberg is seeking a third term in office after his plans for middle income housing in New York City have become a reality. Six tree houses have been constructed in Madison Square Park. The Mayor explains that each tree house unit can house a family of up to four. The tree houses are made out of loosely nailed together planks of wood. Rents start at $1856 a month. One man was quoted on the street said it would be worth it for the extra space. Many had criticized the Mayor’s unfulfilled promise of affordable housing for all New Yorkers. Those critics now have these tree houses to argue with.
