mm i am back. still tired, but i think i should continue, since someone's ready to kill someone and that someone is already online. hehehhe oh well doesn't matter if that doesn't make sense. you'd understand this if it involves you ;)

anyhow, back to the topic.

Taking into consideration that the major market for the candy would probably be kids (those below the age of 12), i would not think it likely that the manufacturer would come out with something that is obviously suggestive. Furthermore, IF something would even BE partially suggestive, the government would clear it off the shelves, just like they do for shows containing lewd pornography and the likes. Well, ok they don't do that, but they sure would NOT place that offending article in the supermarkets for everyone to see!

Yet if we were to step back and think about the possibilities, it COULD be that the manufacturer made it to cause controversy and hence have people like me write about the candy and hence increase its popularity (be it good or bad). If that is the case then I say its a job well done, for i am seriously wanting a piece of that forbidden fruit, as it is.

now back to parents.

Parents in this case should be ashamed of themselves. They are the ones with the crooked thinkings, THEY are the one who skip along supermarkets with their imaginations running wild, filling their brains with sexual images and fantasies. THEY are the ones who go EEEW ARGGHHH DONT" LOOK! when they see those innocent candies. Now what will the children think? That their parents are openly directing importance to the specific item? YEAH DUH. Of course, the parents argue that they are protecting their children against explicit contents, but is it even necessary?

I dare say that the majority of children look at a sweet with a thought no more evil than wanting to devour it there and then. A fresh, colorful design and a potentially great taste would be all they are looking out for. Do parents seriously think that their kids would go to the supermarket and specially pick out that item for its resemblance to a certain reproductive organ? I should think not. And if they do? Well, then there are obviously other factors to this matter.

So what if the sweet reminds of prepubescent people about the reproductive organs? Why not just take the chance and educate them about their sexuality and other important related issues??? Wouldn't that be more effective than merely forbidding your kid to even LOOK at that kind of thing? That kind of multi-directional protection will only lead to naivety and ignorance that would cause more imminent danger to the kids than by looking at something that is only POSSIBLY suggestive (if at all).

Its that kind of overprotection that contributes greatly to teenage pregnancy (although i do not deny that other factors are equally important). At the very least, the purposeful avoidance of such 'phallic' objects would only lead to increased curiosity and hence lead the kids to the possible avenue of falsehood. Also, this kind of attitude in the parents would dissuade the children of going to their parents for help should they encounter problems in that area.

Now i am straying off course.

What i really wanted to talk about initially were the paranoic parents that we see so often these days.

Those parents.... *Sigh*

Look. Do anyone of you out there think that Harry Potter books encourage the practice of black magic? HELLO? And that Approximately 12 verses of monsters drinking hot tea and whatnots would REALLY result in witchcraft?

AND WHAT"S WRONG WITH ENID BLYTON? Is she a racist? Is she a pro-dominant-male? WAKE UP!!!

Those people write to communicate with children on THEIR level! HOw many of you actually looked at the drawings in Enid Blyton's books and pondered about racism? Children are innocent beings. They read just because the stories are interesting, that they do enjoy reading. ...

We are all reading too much and too deep into everything for our own good!

And you know what? This disgusts me so much that I absolutely refuse to write anymore.

UGH. Will people who agree with me PLEASE TAG MY GUESTMAP? IT IS A VERY NICE LITTLE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY THAT IS SIMPLE AND PLEASANT.

Or, if you like, just leave your comments in the chatterbox!

Thanks a lot =)


p.s mmm i am all unarticulate today. but ARGH. i dont' care. I . dont. care.

Sleepy now. going...
