So basically I was watching a video on Youtube about subliminal messages in children's TV, and it really got me thinking about the whole subject and I felt the need to share. I know about quite a few of the 'messages' that are out there, like the whole Disney having the word sex in so many of their drawings or pictures of penises in the castle towers (Little Mermaid btw) just go on google or youtube and write in cartoon/disney subliminal messages and you will be surprise at the amount of answers you get. There were 3 mentioned in this video I was watching that really shocked me.
Ok in 3rrd place it's one of my all time favourite films from my childhood 'The Rescuers' I had and to be honest still do have so much love for these little mice. I always used to watch these films around Christmas time for some reason and to this day they still put me in the festive spirit, however seeing this did not.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzNXgk5eWGg so in this clip the mice are seen shooting down a slide and in the background there is a very quick very blurred image from one of the windows. Although when slowed down it seems to be some sort of porn? It looks to be a naked woman at the window. I don't know whether to believe it or not, but it does look kind of genuine...? I'll let you be the judge.
In 2nd place it's everyone's favourite mermaid. It's the little mermaid. In this scene the priest of all people seems to have a bit of a bulge going on in his downstairs department. Boner anyone? This just made me abit sick. Disney tried to cover it up with this little excuse 'the minister had rather bandy legs that blended in with his tunic and the ‘erection’ was actually his knees.' yehyeh whatever, why not just admit your artist thought it would be a funny practical joke.
The one that definitely makes me sickest of all and is the winner coming in 1st place is the grandpa from Hey Arnold. His head is a penis! And once you've been told and you see the pictures it actually couldn't be any more obvious. I google imaged the grandpa and even in the pictures where they aren't highlighting the penis shape it is still so clear for the eye to see. The grandpa along with most of the other characters are ugly enough let alone having a penis head!!
What really gets me about all this is how some person has sat there and thought about this knowing it's their job to draw/ create the characters or settings or whatever it is for a CHILDREN'S cartoon and they think it's funny to laden it with sexually subliminal messages. To me that's fucked up. The child doesn't know any better or let alone understand I know at that age I didn't and it's kind of like corrupting that innocent child's mind with indecent images without anybody knowing.
And imagine their must have been some parents that clocked the likes of the grandpa's head and other obvious images, most are too well disguised or to quick to notice but the fact that someone has gone to the effort to put them in just really makes me question what is going on in the world.
Why does everything have to be so sexualised all the time, there really isn't anything that is pure and innocent anymore, and that scares me, because I for one don't want to bring my future children up in a word of cartoons with penis shaped features!!!
