elementof_riskI have come to a very disturbing realization. More than disturbing. Downright unsettling.
It's not going to stop with Enchanted and nit-wit princes. There will be things like Snow White. Sleeping Beauty. Beauty and the Beast. Singing animals everywhere, and, beyond that, singing teacups and candlesticks. I just came back from vacation and got a flash of what the next...decade could potentially entail, especially if it's a girl. There will be mermaids that sing. And princesses that sing and fall in love with idiots who don't have a clue how to fight anything, let alone a dragon. There will be talking dogs that fall in love outside their breed and stuck up Siamese cats and women who want to make coats out of puppy skins--and who does that?
And apparently, we won't even be spared the insanity for such worthwhile classics like Mary Poppins because certain people hate her.Who hates Mary Poppins? Who?
Worse, there will potentially be...abominations like Spongebob. Barney. Teletubbies.
I subjected myself to Enchanted and Mamma Mia on the sheer reasoning of what it got me in return, and the fact that, on occasion, I got to pick the movie instead. But there is no bargaining my way out of Teletubbies with a three year old.
...I'm doomed. Clearly. Doomed. Years of successful missions, facing down some of the deadliest people in the world, assassinating dozens of targets without leaving a trace, and I'm going to be done in by children's television.
