And I'm sitting here in front of the computer in my pajamas typing on NSG, pondering the deep and sometimes crazy topic of......................


..........fairy tales. I know, crazy, but they're insane once you think about them.

In Rapunzel the girl is locked up in a tower and has crazy long hair. The charming handsome prince comes to save her, but :eek: there's no rope! He climbs up the tower using her hair (which has to hurt) and they live happily ever after (but how do they get down?) If this prince was out to save her, you'd think he'd bring along a rope, you know, just in case. And how come it's always a pampered, charming prince who comes to the rescue? Surely the king and queen wouldn't want their (presumably) only son in danger?

In Snow White, there is a pretty little (in the Disney movie black haired when she's probably supposed to be blonde, as the name implies) lady who runs away and lives with some dwarves. While I may question the morality of showing a movie portraying a woman living with seven men (though to my understanding it was all platonic.... or so it seems ;)) to young children, it's the necrophilia I'm concerned about. The handsome charming prince who just so happens to find poor dead little Snow White is so taken by her beauty that he kisses her and wants to marry her................................and she's DEAD. Can we say NECROPHILIA, kids?

Any other odd things in fairy tales that you've noticed (and no "in The Little Mermaid" movie there's a penis-shaped tower in the background...." I'm looking for actual stories, not subliminal messages/innuendo in the movie versions) or something I've messed up?

You mean you never read Rapunzel to the end?
What you describe is the first 1/3 of the whole story...

Well, if you want your questions answered, maybe you just ought to read the whole thing ;)

To put it simply: Disney wants you to have sex. Now.

I don't like Disney anymore. The fairytale movies stopped making sense.

I suppose they only make sense if you're 5 years old. :(

I don't buy Mattel either.

I stopped playing with Barbie dolls years ago.

You can read any meaning you want into stories if you look hard enough.

They're fairytale's, sense is not one of the ingredients.

Basically its a plot by Disney; Tgey want to encourage sex so there are more kids who they will train into a super soldier army to take over the world!

God Lord, girl! You're starting to sound like me! aren't you a little young to be that cynical? ;)

You need to read Bruno Bettelheim's "Uses of Enchantment." I'm not suggesting I agree with his analysis of all those fairy tales, but it's exactly the type of thing you're talking about.

Edited to also recommend "Women who Run With the Wolves" which offers a more feminist reading of various folk tales...

Fog delay?

*Looks outside window*

I guess I'm having the same weather as you. Its kind of creepy all of this fog.
