Or, you know.. Hundreds of years of literature and storytelling with this archetyped story element.

Those hundreds of years of literature weren't really that popular until Disney came along and beefed it up to make exciting for the little ones(and by "exciting" I mean "child safre and not boring as hell in some cases")

They were in fact so unpopular, that no one ever heard of them ever, and no one knows how Disney even did.

LOL, SQ does it again. gg.

One new thought:

It can be VERY hard to get me to sit down and watch something or read a book. I'm resistant to the idea of sitting around watching/reading (not listening, oddly enough); I find it too passive, and prefer to spend my time doing something active or seemingly active. Which is why I'll binge on games, post on forums, talk to people about nothing or wander around streets aimlessly for hours without a second thought, but I'll put off watching an anime series or movie that I'm interested in, or a book I've been recommended, for months on end. The of sitting down and shutting up and not moving is somehow vulgar to me

PS - my avatar color now seems to match stripper butt
