Rereading my post, I realize I didn't make clear something that I thought I had - that the word "cool" now means "anything that I think is neat or interesting", but that for the purposes of this piece, I'd be going with the social sense of "cool". By using the broader term, everything is cool, because there's always someone somewhere that will think that thing is neat or interesting. In that sense, the word means nothing, really.

I wasn't trying to discuss whether Disney is called "cool" by some people - obviously, it is.
