Dear Hollywood: Please Stop Raping My Childhood

[elfs]

Last night, before the movie began, there was a "turn off your cellphones" PSA that had a fuzzy little orange creature trying to hush everyone around him on their cellphones and chomping down on snacks too loudly. At first, I thought he was just one of those strangely hideous CGI creatures that some studios think is cute. But then he shouted out, "I am the Lorax! I speak for the audience!" He then gave a spiel about being silent in the theater, followed by a "Don't forget to see me, the Lorax, in the upcoming..."

I damn near hurled my dinner on the row before me. You would too, if you were revolted by seeing the ongoing sodomization of Dr. Seuss's corpse like that.
