oh, naïvety.

As we grow up, we realize that not everything is as innocent as we once thought.  Supposedly, Disney films such as Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, The Rescuers Down Under, Bambi, and The Lion King all have some sexual innuendo incorporated into the film that would give them a big boost to their male teenager sales.



Along with these seemingly unnecessary additions, there's ever-present propaganda to keep in mind. Whoooooo's your favorite German dictator?  Leni Reifenstahl would be so proud

Propaganda at it's finest:

my blogging has been shitty because, well, i don't own a computer. pictures, videos, and writing galore to arrive over the summer.  in the meantime, i'll be seeing rome, nice (+cannes+monaco), paris (+versailles), and muff & head zolf.  can't wait. 

i wish i could upload the pix and vidz for ya'll, but here's what i saw yesterday on an @rt History trip to the world's second oldest university: when students earn their doctorate, their friends help them celebrate by dressing them up and forcing them to drink in front of the university.  if the doctor's mother is present and asks for mercy for her child, the hazing gets worse.  the literal translation of their chant is, "doctor, doctor, doctor asshole. fuck you, fuck you."  i'm pretty happy i saw this; i'm getting back to elmhurst on may 26 and my youngest brother, henry, is graduating from 8th grade on may 28.


big ups to friends out there on the web
