ok i gotta admit this one isn't really a theory... cause this is pretty much a fact nowadays that hollywood in the past has used cartoons to depict certain things about our society but make it somewhat light.. and in code so that kids don't really get it.
Especially things about men and women and social behavior!
check this out.
Theory of Disney's Double meanings
One of my favorites was an excerpt from The little mermaid that Ursula the sea witch sings to convince Ariel to give up her voice.
she says:
"The men up there don't like a lot of blabber. They think a girl who gossips is a bore! Yes on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word and after all dear, what is idle prattle for? Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation. True gentlemen avoid it when they can. But they dote and swoon and fawn on a lady who's withdrawn. It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man"
umm.. HOW TRUE IS THAT? how many times have you heard guys saying they like the mysterious type? lol..
And recently i was listening to this disney song (YES I LISTEN TO DISNEY ON MY IPOD).. and maybe it's my imagination..
but am i the only person who thinks pinocchio depicts a young immature guy who likes to lie a lot aka A PLAYER? if you read any review about the cartoon it's plain to see that the young boys were being taken to Pleasure Island where they could run around free to play and be naughty all they wanted.. but specifically in this song.. he talks about not having any strings... are we talking literally here or relationship strings?
after listening to the song now and thinking if there's a double meaning to the song...in it he talks about strings that would make him frown, and how without them he's free. how he has no worries... and how he has fun cause he's not tied up to anyone. then three girl puppets sing about how they're crazy about him.. and how they'd get rid of their strings too for him! doesn't that sound like women who pretend to like to fool around with no emotions just so they can mess around with a guy? like they'll compromise their morals of not having a proper relationship and just willing to mess around with a guy? pinocchio is a guy who likes to fool around and be carefree with NO STRINGS ATTACHED!!! lol... just read the lyrics and try to disagree with me.
AND he lies a lot and has to be punished for lying and that's why his nose grows longer!! ... doesn't that sound like a lot of men out there in the world? hahahaha i'm not hating on you guys out there.. but now you have a symbol to represent you all.. PINOCCHIO!! did i mention that in one point of the cartoon when he's left free to have all the carefree fun he wants and can be naughty all he wants, he gets turned into an ASS? LOL
Here's the song. Please read it line by line and tell me if it doesn't have a whole new meaning to you now.
Pinocchio:
I've got no strings
To hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings
But now I'm free
There are no strings on me
Hi-ho the me-ri-o
That's the only way to go
I want the world to know
Nothing ever worries me
Hi-ho the me-ri-o
I'm as happy as can be
I want the world to know
Nothing ever worries me
I've got no strings
So I have fun
I'm not tied up to anyone
They've got strings
But you can see
There are no strings on me
Dutch girl puppet:
You have no strings
Your arms is free
To love me by the Zuider Zee
Ya, ya, ya
If you would woo
I'd bust my strings for you
French girl puppet:
You've got no strings
Comme ci comme ca
Your savoire-faire is ooh la la!
I've got strings
But entre nous
I'd cut my strings for you
Russian girl puppet:
Down where the Volga flows
There's a Russian rendezvous
Where me and Ivan go
But I'd rather go with you, hey!
There are probably other stuff in the cartoons we just didn't notice as kids. but don't always assume cartoons are innocent!! :)

Theory #24 - Theory of Men's Taste
As i finished the last theory.. this one sprung to mind and i just had to write it.
Theory of Men's Taste.
This is just to let girls know to stop trying to change their personality to suit guys and to grab their attentions.
Girls, you know how guys always make it a point to say what kind of girls they like? "i like girls who are classy" "i like girls who take charge".. blah blah blah.
what is most likely the case here is that they're subconsciously describing a girl they;'re already interested in or have a crush on or past girlfriends... something like that.
cause i'm here to tell you that guys don't know what they want.. and in the end.. they'll LIKE you no matter what kind of character you have. Cause let's say they do like a girl that takes charge. If they come across a girl they like, they'll say that's cool.
but if a girl rubs them the wrong way, but she's the type that takes charge.. it will no longer be seen as an admirable quality. more it'll be "she's so bossy.. she's so aggressive"
same thing with being quiet and reserved. If a guy likes the timid innocent flower type... if a girl tries to become that, but he just doesn't take to her anyways.. he'll just see her as being too quiet and reserved and boring.
it's a losing situation for girls anyways.. there is absolutely no way for you to conform the way you act so that it matches the kind of girl that a guy likes. what you'll find though, is that if you just be yourself.. and stop trying so hard to fit into something. He'll like who you are.. because who you are and how confident you are and comfortable you are with your own personality is REALLY what attracts the guys. and suddenly you'll find that HIS taste, will conform to fit with what your character is. Men are indecisive. They think they know what they want.. i really believe they think that.
Then again.. maybe i just think i know what i'm talking about.. but the pattern of how men think is just too obvious to ignore.
love yourselves.. and they'll adore you.
guys.. stop listing what you think you like. life's full of surprises and even what you think you like might change.
love you all

Theory #23 - Theory of Insanity
This theory isn't as crazy as it sounds.
Theory of Insanity
Whether it just comes out of us from nowhere, or if we blindly walk into it, Insanity is as real as any physical danger or death trap we may come across in life. Now once you've entered insanity, you're in deep shit. Cause your brain splits into two. A logical side and a natural instinct side.
Three life-threatening situations come to my mind when comparing it to going insane.
- Falling into quicksand
- Being strangled by someone's hands.
- and being lost at sea with a shark circling.
Our natural BASIC instinct tells us to panic. But everyone knows that won't help. If you panic in quicksand you'll just drown faster. Also if you're panicking people will be too scared to reach out and help for fear that you pull them down with you in your frenzy. Which you might just do. Panicking when being strangled will only make us reach for our necks to try to loosen the pressure but is still futile. and panicking with a shark circling will just make splashes so that the shark can find you more accurately and confirm that you're something he wants to eat.
So what's the correct answer? If the instinct side of you tells you to panic, what does your logical side say? The answer is the same for all three and for falling into insanity: STAY CALM. Panicking in any case will not help, it might even make it worse. The FIRST step is always to be calm, even though every instinct in our body is screaming at us to panic and act upon self-preservation, staying calm is the first step. Staying calm will reduce how fast you sink in the quicksand. To give you more time to figure out how to escape. Or to give you more time for the chance someone finds you and stretches their arm out for you. Staying calm might trick the shark into thinking there's nothing there for him to eat, and he could just swim away. Again, it'll atleast buy you time to formulate a plan while he's confused. As for the murderer strangling you, if you just try to calm down, you'd realize you have two free hands to choke him back with! Or at least kick him in the nuts. When going into insanity, panicking is no use. It's illogical, it's paranoid and it'll hurt people the people around you that you care about and it will NOT slow down the fall. It'll only make you fall faster.
Treat insanity and it's ugly cousins like depression the same way you treat real-life crisis. stay calm. That's what i think. That's my theory, that insanity should be treated as real physical danger. cause it is. Sure don't sit on your ass for too long, wait for the dust to settle then make your move out of danger.
Whatever the danger , STAY CALM. Then either wait for a helping hand, plan an escape route, hope it goes away , or FIGHT BACK. You have options, but if you panic, the only option is death.
Grim...I know.
but it's the truth. I know it's difficult I know that those who panic the most are those who have a lot that they love in life and wanna hold on to it. So for all those people going slowly into madness... good luck.
and remember... you're in it alone. you got yourself in this mess. get yourself out.
