Plague, rape, suicide, and unhappiness. Not the words you typically associate with the Disney Princesses hmmm... Welp, in the original versions of these "fairy tales" these were all pretty recurring themes. We were talking about how different the original Hans Christian anderson versions of these stories were in English and I decided to check it out. Apparently, in the original Cinderella, when the wicked( or evil or something to that affect) step sisters couldnt fit their fat feet (or at least too large to be those of a musically-gifted princess) into the glass slipper, they just chose to start chopping off whichever pieces they couldn't shove in there. And in the original sleeping beauty, the prince was so taken by the sleeping girl's appearance that he "went to town" on her narcoleptic frame. The beauty had twins which just crawled out of her, clearly without the restraint of an umbilical cord. One sucked the poisoined splinter out of her hand, she woke up and decided to marry the prince, accepting his necrophilia,one of his worse qualities I assume.(A commercial for Marlee and Me on DVD just came on. I never saw it but I heard it was good, maybe it'll come on HBO or something)And how about in the Little Mermaid. In the non- plagirized version, Arielle commits suicide because she is unable to attain the prince, becoming just foam on the beach. And it doesn't stop there, all of these originals have some sort of dark overtone, which makes since considering the original fairy tales were meant to scare children into doing things. My entire childhood unraveled when I found out the the last little pig actually ate the wolf along with his two brothers as literary punishment for their stupidity, but that's okay. Rumplestilskin, the Beast, the Big Bad wolf... ALL RAPISTS. Don't believe me? Google that shit...

Alrighty, it's jill...
I find it truly fascinating that Lady Gaga can get away with acting, dressing, and singing like a slut but still be loved by so many people (I am admittedly one of them). In high school if anyone acted like she does she would most likely be shunned by her peers with the exception of a few desperate guys. This topic does not really have a point and isn't really going to go anywhere but I just wanted to point out that singing, "lets have some fun, this beat is sick i want to take a ride on your disco stick" would not be accepted from anyone but her.

Blogging is great.

So this is Rob now,and I'm just checking out the blog. Blogging has always been something of an interest of mine. The fact that I can talk about the most dumbest stuff ever, and people will actually read it for pleasure is truly the beauty of AMERICA! (That exclamation point wasn't for the sentence, but rather just for the word AMERICA!, which, when coupled with an exclamation point, is vaguely threatening, and seems to suggest that any place else must be filled with propoganda posters in Farsi and open sewage lining the streets) So basically, this blog shall be random. Enjoy...
