Maybe I shouldnt hold it against my parents that they sheltered me from all kinds of the things in my childhood. Take Who Framed Roger Rabbit? for instance. As a confused and naive child in the early 90s (since I didn't actually know about it when it came out in 1988, being only 6 years old at the time. i have been playing pop culture catch up ever since) I was upset that my parents wouldn't let me watch a movie that looked fun and funny and innocent. I mean it had cartoons, right? Like Disney, right? Exhibit A: Jessica Rabbit.

I have no clue what my little mind would have though of her at that time in my life, but I am glad I didn't have to cross that bridge. My innocence was immeasurable. Clearly, looking back on it now, I can see what my parents were saying. She is a seductive vixen with more curves than a Formula 1 track. Ridiculous. This is no typical cartoon character. This is a fabricated, fictional sexy seductress mingled with the live action actors, making them melt on the floor in front of her. one bat of that foot-long eyelash and you're done.

and her famous line from that movie (not that I have even seen it yet) is "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way."

out of control.


So, to my parents I owe an apology. And to Eve 6, I finally know what you are talking about. I mean I kinda knew, but really I had no clue.


Well I kind of sort of saw the sirens coming
She was running toward me wearing almost nothing
And my heart beat skipped when she bent down at the hip
And her lips pressed against mine

Like Jessica Rabbit she collects bad habits gets her drinks for free
Animated vixen stole Cupid's arrow and came to rescue me
In the blink of an eyelid my lid opened up and I could see
That she'd come to rescue me



cartoon characters aren't supposed to make me stumble.
