Am I the only one who sees this? Does no one else catch on to the clear drug images ensconced throughout Mary Poppins? Should it come as any surprise that after years of subversive messages that Disney puts in its movies to corrupt the moral fiber of our youth, from phallic symbols in The Little Mermaid to secret sexual messages in Aladin, that this so-called paragon of cinematic virtue should be any less deleterious?
How dare I attack this beloved children's classic, you might ask yourself. Well, then. Before you start collecting wood to burn me at the stake, let me go over a few "coincidences."
"A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down" huh? A seemingly innocent ditti becoms a sinister message upon closer inspection. Intersting that Ms. Poppins chose spoons as her prefered unit of measurement. Spoons!!? Are you blind? Clearly this is her way of introducing heroine addiction to these naive youths. Besides, everyone knows that dealers will cut their merchandise with simple household products to stretch it out and increase profits. And what kind of "medicine" is she giving these children? Not the kind I want destroying my body, no thank you. Sure, morphine was a "medicine," but look what happened there. All I know is, you don't see droves of Flinstones chewable tablets addicts ravaging the countryside. And sure, she says that white powder is only suger. But can we really be sure?
After all, just look at her name. Poppins. Kind of like poppy, the plant we get opium from. Coincidence? I think not. And who can trust someone who flys in from an umbrella. Flying high are you? Better keep it grounded for a while before they stick you in rehab. I mean if she's not a stoner, then she's a witch scampering about on a broomstick reminiscent object. Either way, she's not getting anywhere near my kids.
And, as if these evidences weren't compelling enough. Anyone watching the movie for more then ten minutes will be inundated with images almost directly translated from a mind prone to unnatural hallucination. The only people I know who see penguins and other such cartoon animals running around a real-life park in London are tripping on LSD, Mescalin, Paoti, or any combination thereof. Not to discount the Absynthe theory, but that seems to be a strictly Dumbo phenomena and we won't deal with that here.
So I ask you, reader, to think about what you are watching and not let yourself be taken in by thinly-veiled propaganda and over-priced subversion. Even if it does come in cute, fuzzy packages.
