Dorothy Has Doomed Us
contrary to what you see on tv or in movies, not everyone that lives in the midwest lives on a farm or in cornfields. and it's always infuriating that people from kansas are portrayed as total bumpkins. take britt on mtv's "8th & ocean"--she's the new girl in the model apartment and on deciding that she wants to go clubbing with her roommates, she mentions that she does not know how to dance. who doesn't know how to dance? i'm surprised she didn't say that she lives in a community like the one featured in "footloose" where no one is allowed to dance. jezus.
the only person who has really done us right is danni boatright of "survivor: guatemala"--she had grit, spunk, and smarts. unfortunately, everyone else comes off like some freakin hayseed. and you know what? i like "the wizard of oz"--mostly for the wicked witch, who i really think was vastly misunderstood. i mean the facts are facts--dorothy killed the wicked witch of the east, so naturally her sister would be pissed. i would be massively torqued and evil too if someone offed my sibling by dropping a house on them. sheesh!
and what's worse? no one gives the wicked witch any credit, none whatsoever, for being evil. i mean, how many characters, other than darth vader, hans gruber, and dr. hannibal lecter, standout as truly insidious. i tell ya, the wicked witch of the west is like the rodney dangerfield of oz.
point is, everyone associates kansas with that movie. and even on "8th & ocean", as soon as britt mentioned she was from kansas city, the other models, all got this look on their face. almost like they wanted to roll their eyes or run as far away from the girl as possible, but they had to be nice, so they made some vague comment, like, "oh." you could just tell they thought she was an alien from outerspace. nice.
too bad ole dorothy wasn't more like the wicked witch. then those other model wannabes would have a whole different perspective on people from kansas. and as for that annoying dog toto? i would have kicked his yapping ass to the curb.
