Happy endings, shmappy endings
It came to my attention, recently, that some nursery schools in the UK have changed the opening line of "Baa, baa, black sheep" to "Baa, baa, rainbow sheep" (so as not to offend anyone)!! In the beginning, I really couldnt bring myself to believe it, I mean, it did, after all, come from just one source. But after reading it again in the paper...I was stunned. Completely flabbergastedly gobsmacked I was. This is really political correctness taken to the extreme. Never have I, in my 22 years heard of such ludicrousity, if there's even such a word :p
How can people even think it has racist elements? So i guess in the near future, we will have to outlaw the words blackmail, blacktie, blacklist, black cloud, and ah, my fave...blackberries (though I still think it's too cute a name for something so not cute). And it's not just poor ol baa baa the black sheep...even Humpty Dumpty wasnt let off the hook. Apparently it was too sad for some poor sodding kids that people had to give him a happily ever after ending.
Stuff and nonsense! A little pain and suffering wont hurt anyone. Look where it got me. I'm still delirious as ever.
o_O
Hold on. Ok, nevermind. My point is that, if kids arent given some nasty insight into the cruel realities of this world, then they are in for some shocking experience when they step out of the front gate, away from their comfort zone, THEN we'll see who needs counselling. Like some fatso said, it's good character building! I used to think humpty clumsy got wat he deserved, albeit the cute fat overgrown bit, he is, still an oversized egg who didnt think twice about perching himself atop a wall. Maybe I was just a sadistic brat. But I know alot of ppl agreed with me too!
Then there was also the ol woman in the shoe. Apparently, child abuse charges have been brought against the poor ol dame so, instead of whipping their sorry asses, she kisses her children sweetly before sending them to bed, without broth (which, I suspect her therapist is working on too).
BAH HUMBUG!
By the time my great gran kids are reading this nursery rhyme, the shoe children will probably be eating lobster thermidore (my fave food), with lobster bisque, with garlic herbed foccccia bread and living in a luxury Prada boot, replete with PS7 and plasma tv's. What next? The critics will claim that their eating and socialising activities are reflective of couch potatoes which are a threat to one's well-being and upbringing, which might result in obesity, hence...there shouldn't be nursery rhymes anymore.
At all costs, everyone must live happily ever after.
I'll tell you what i think. These psychological morons ARE the baa baa black sheeps of us SANE psychologists who DO have better things to do than to worry about saving the world from the plaque of nursery rhymes.
Oh and one more thing on the subject of happily ever after.
This shit of a newspaper (called THE STAR) HAD to ruin my day by telling me that Marissa Cooper dies in the third (and final) season of the OC. Hello you DIPSHIT of a motherfucka! Do you NOT stay in msia where everything is oh-so-slow-than-my-grandmothers-tortoise?! The OC Season 3 isnt even screened here, and here I am, halfway through, enjoying my episodes stolen off Fox TV.com, and they HAD to...THEY JUST FUCKING HAD TO TELL ALL HOW IT ENDED! So much for my happy ending! It would have been "my" ending to savour if it were not for the thoughtless act of some dickhead living in a timewarp writing for this newspaper. Is he (or she, without being sexist), too, out to save the world from such evil twists of fate? Wait till I get my M16s on you punk.
Have a happy delirious week folks. I'm out to hunt some morons. >_<
