5 Things Wrong with Fairytales

5 Things Wrong with Fairytales

So, if you have lives in America around the 20th or the 21st century, chances are you've heard or seen your fair share of fairytales. Age old classics, these stories have been adapted and made into movies for children of all ages. But having been around forever, and thanks to disney, we usually totally miss the messed up morals and strange meanings that they could be teaching us.

Side note:

This list was too stinkin' easy to make XD

1. Princesses usually tend to be underage when being stalked, creeped over, kidnapped... etc.

We don't live in Arabia, okay?

But I also find it funny, that 16 is the magic age for EVERYTHING to happen. Boom! You 16! Time for the romance, kidnappings, and curses to commmence! Kiss your parents good bye, because they're gonners too!

2. Prince Charming has no name.

Seriously. Just calling him Prince Charming isn't going to work say when your in trouble. Kind of a mouthful to spew out if you're shouting for help. Ever thought about shortening it to PC or Charles?

And here's some more food for thought...

Every prince is referred to as "Prince Charming", and everyone assumes they are different Princes, but what if they aren't? Sounds like we have a Player here.

And another thing, what if he wasn't Charming? Heck, most of the princes in fairytales a nothing short of creepsters. They should really go by their true names, "Prince Creepy" or "Prince Get-a-life".

3. Step mothers are Evil not matter what.

It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done, if you are a stepmother than YOU ARE SATAN.

4. The Morals.

Seriously. You think true love is the only thing being taught through these tales? Cinderella sneaked out at night to go to a party. Snow White lived with 7 guys. The Little Mermaid made a promise she couldn't keep. Prince Charming kissed a stranger. Jasmine fell in love with a homeless guy and a theif...

These wholesome stories are just great teachers to the next generation, don't ya think?

5. True Love

"Cinderella's eyes watered as she turned away from the prince to leave. She hadn't known only two minutes ago that they'd become so close."

A whole flipping 120 seconds is all it takes to develop this "true love". The Irony.
