Now it's personal.

Alright, Disney, this is just getting ridiculous. In the past, I've been able to forgive you because we've had such a wonderful history together. But, this...is just appalling. Now, I've finally come to terms with the fact that you guys jumped the shark about three Tinkerbell movies ago and have only one thing left on your minds: money.

Could there be more truth to this episode than you're letting on, Disney?

At this point, I really wouldn't be surprised.

Dare I bring up the fiasco Warner Bros. faces a few years ago when they also tried to "update" their characters? Yeah, look at how well THAT turned out. You remember that, don't you, Disney? Because I sure do.

(Just you wait, folks, if society continues at this rate of degradation, pretty soon this will become a reality. Goody.)

And don't even get me started on the tragedy that beset us all last August. THAT was the last straw, fella. For shame.

But not all is lost, Disney. Oh, yes; you still have one more shot to win over my affection. Believe it or not, I still have hopes for The Princess and the Frog. I better not be disappointed, because if I am, then I think we need to start seeing other people. The ball's in your court, Disney.

They just need to stop.

You know what really grinds my gears? Commercial advertisements on the big screen. Who was the wily cretin who devised yet another way to shove his respective companies product down our throat? Coca-Cola, I'm talking to you. You and I both know you're in no danger of disappearing, so why must you insist on reminding us every stinking minute of our lives how refreshing your liquid corn syrup is? I'll have none of it.

Is there some sort of formula of how much advertising a company does before their sales actually start to DROP? Because at some point, these guys surely realize just how sick we get of seeing them on every t.v. commercial, magazine ad, billboard, marketing campaign, etc. etc. etc.

Common sense and high fashion; they go together like a fat guy at a marathon.

So, have you guys heard about this Tavi Gevinson? Apparantly she's this tween fashionista who's getting major props from the fashion industry or whatever. Personally, I'm not that impressed. She's dressing herself in the most random ensembles of clothing, shoes, hats and jewelry, and it's suddenly fashion gold? This is the same crap the rest of us were playing dress-up in when we were 6.
And for that matter, who decides what gets to be high-end fashion, anyhow? I mean... Have you SEEN the stuff they're putting on the runway? Sweatshirt corsets? Paper dresses? Um...whatever's going on here. I am not impressed, fashion designers. Just what are you trying to prove? That what people consider to be high fashion is really just random crap you grabbed out of a garage sale with your eyes closed?
I always thought that fashion was something that people could actually wear out in public without getting eggs thrown at them...but evidently I'm just missing something.
