Corporate Necrophilia Continues...

[elfs]

Freshly sated from raping the corpse of Winnie The Pooh yet still uneasily dissatisfied, some git at the Walt Disney Corporation leaned back against his couch, lit up a doobie and turned on The Blue Lagoon. After the second roach burned his fingers, he freeze-frames the scene where the ten-year-old Richard climbs back into the boat with nothing but a pair of thin, wet cotton shorts clinging to his buttcheeks. One hand inside his boxers, he decided on his next victim: Tinkerbell needs a makeover and would look much better as a boyish clone of Peter Pan.

Tinkerbell does not need a goddamned makeover.

And no, USA-fucking-Today, this in not a "cool new look." This is an abuse of an entire generation's childhood memories.

she looks more like Link than a fairy.

Tinkerbell has already had a recent conceptual makeover with the whole Pixie Hollow nonsense and massive product placement with her new image. I think you may be too late.

I'd do that. Wait...wrong reaction?

I think she's still cute, no matter the outfit.

How odd, I never noticed the white poms on her shoes until that article pointed them out.

The makeover was 50 years ago

From Where the Girls Are by Susan J. Douglas:
Tinker Bell in James Barrie's version is "mainly a flash of light, and described by Barrie as 'slightly inclined to embonpoint'--plumpness."
