Dorothy and OZ - the true story.

We always think of Dorothy as being the little simpleton who is abused by forces beyond her control but now it's time for the REAL story.

We recall when the movie changed from black and white to color. That's when everything went wrong! Dorothy's house landed in OZ and she kills this lady - the Witch of the East - with her house. That's murder! Instead of being regretful Dorothy and everyone in OZ is celebrating! Then, the so-called "Good Witch" Glenda shows up and convinces Dorothy to steal the dead lady's shoes! The lady ain't even cold and they're stealing her stuff! After a few minutes the grieving Witch of the West shows up and requests her late sisters shoes. Being next of kin she's entitled. But Dorothy and Glenda won't give her the shoes! Dorothy should have been locked up for that crime alone!

Anyway, Dorothy "The Sociopath", her little dog and the stolen shoes go skipping off down the Yellow Brick Road until they come across the scarecrow. Her's a kid about, what, 12 or 13 years old? She asks the scarecrow, "which way should I go?" The scarecrow replies, "some people go this way, sme people go that way and some people go BOTH WAYS!" The implication that it's OK to be a lesbian!

A while later Dorothy and her three boyfriends lay down in a big field of poppies. POPPIES!!! They're all laying there stoned off their asses until the "Good Witch" Glenda comes and talks them down!

Later in the movie Dorothy kills the other witch!

So, Dorothy has only been there a couple of days and she becomes a murderer, a thief, a lesbian and a drug abuser! Do we really want our kids to be watching this???

While I can't condone murder in her defence - they were pretty shoes though! I guess she was never told not to talk to strangers either.

I never watched cartoons when I was a kid and never really cared for the Wizard of Oz. I would have much rather watched Soap Operas or Julia Child. If only we would have had the FoodNetwork back in the 1970s, no telling where I would be now.
