Megan is Missing

A few weeks back a saw what I think is possibly the most horrid movie ever made. Surprisingly I don't horrid as in terrible, I mean horrid as in why the hell am I watching this. You may be asking yourself "Pandora what could possibly be that bad?" The answer is a film called Megan is Missing.


Now I usually like movies that have that scary this could actually happen type of films. This one however made me sick to my stomach. To put it simply it's about two girls, Megan and Amy, who get kidnapped by a guy they met online. They film it in the homemade video Blair Witch style too which makes it even more creepy. Personally though I think this movie should be shown to all kids over the age of ten. Now a days kids are growing up way to fast and it's easier for them to make mistakes that could possibly end their lives. In fact I have a young cousin who watched this film and it's made her think twice about meeting strangers from the internet.

Evolving Because of the Internet

Most of those who know me know that I'm obsessed with horror, gore, and all that is scary. Some times it's a good thing and other times I just get weird looks. It's weird how when I was younger I never really batted an eyelash at the things that go bump in the night. I find as I'm getting older though things keep getting scarier and not in a good way either. I find myself more superstitious and more skitzy.  I'll jump at the littlest sounds or movements. I blame most of this on the internet and the invention of screamers.


The picture above is not a screamer but it is a pic of the first screamer I experienced. Now when I enjoyed the internet when I was little a lot of my time was spent looking at ghost pictures. My good friend at the time knew this and decided to send me this website that had the above picture on it. The site the proceeded to tell me to look really close and to turn my volume all the way up. I was only eight at the time so I didn't think much of it. I learned pretty fast though. Soon after this was the face that greeted me along with a screaming sound.


Needless to say my eight year old self had no idea how to react to this so I just pulled the plug on my computer and sat by the front door till my mom got home. She actually thought someone had died I was shaking and crying so much. This situation did not kill me therefore I suppose it made me stronger. I learned to adapt. This sounds pretty cool until we analyze it and see that I had to evolve all because of the internet.

Yo Gabba Gabba!

Warning: Even though the following blog is for a children's TV show, that doesn't actually mean it's geared towards kids. You have been warned so don't come crying to me if you see any bad words or pictures, moving on.



I first heard about Yo Gabba Gabba! a few years back when the merchandise started popping up in a few department stores. I didn't really think much of it since that's what usually happens when there some new hit kids show. The only thing I really noticed was that the characters were rather different from the norm and it was hard not to see that they were rather cute. The green one especially caught my eye. Well a few nights ago I actually had the pleasure to enjoy watching this show. The following is basically just going to be my reaction.



I will have to admit that I was not exactly sober when I first saw this show. That doesn't mean that I wasn't aware as to what was going on. I actually remember all of it aside from this part where there was a orange and a pear dancing across the screen. The characters were quite imaginative and the themes seemed to be rather childish, which makes sense concluding to the fact that it's a kids show, but as we went on to the second episode I started to over analyze everything.  The first thing I decided to analyze was that the big red thing, Muno, kind of looked like a big red dildo with arms...


I'm not saying this makes the show any more or less entertaining but certainly some over protective parent has to see this. I mean if they can hear toys swear how can they not see that this looks like a sex toy? The second thing I noticed, and this is really kind of stretching it, but the pink one kind of looks like either a nipple or a clitoris. My friend and I still can't decide.


The other three characters don't really remind me of much besides maybe an otter, a robot (duh), and a monster (possibly another duh). Although I do think the green monster and the blue otter need some sort of counseling.


I know I've only seen a few episodes but it seems to me that all the blue one does is bitch and be mean while the monster only complained and whined. I see some kinky fan fiction between these to being written in the near future. That's right folks nothing is sacred. I'd like to make a comment now about the robot but there isn't really much too him. I think that he could possibly just be a token, you know so other robots and robot children don't feel left out. I personally think they should replace him with a cyberman or a dalek but what do I know.

I tried watching this sober after the fact but all it did was make this show a hell of a lot more creepy. I find it rather funny that I had more of attention span for this while intoxicated since usually I really do love kids shows. I'm pretty sure that's when I started wondering if it was really geared towards children at all. I mean most of the guests on it, that I've seen, were people that most kids don't know about like "Weird Al" Yankovic to name one. 


I'm not saying kids shouldn't watch this, I mean I think it's great if this show keeps them occupied for a half hour. I suppose if you're not a kids and you enjoy this show that's fine too. I am going to assume however that you're not sober while watching it. That's nothing to get offended about either I mean we all have our outlets. There's one last thing I have to say though...


This Dj Lance has the most perfect skin I've ever seen and my friend agrees. It's just so smooth and there are like no imperfections and we were watching him in HD too. He's definitely not bad looking either.  I'd watch this show just to watch him, if you know what I mean.

Medical Doctors and My Frustration

Ever since I was little going to the doctor was a big part of my life. This was mainly because my immune system failed at life and could never fight anything. It would start with cold, then it became the flu, and finally I would hack up my lungs with bronchitis. Then as I got older I got all of the mental and physical complications just like the rest of the family. I mostly blame it on the fact that I'm female since all of the males in my family are fine aside from a little ocd and the like. Oddly enough after visiting so many doctors I noticed a bit of a pattern. So here I give to you the types of doctors you will possibly meet throughout your life.



The first is the type who will automatically give you something usually disregarding the actual problems. They may treat individual symptoms but never the full problem. You have a cough? There's a drug for that. Feeling a little down? There's a drug for that. Does your forearm itch? There's a drug for that. They always end up prescribing you for one thing or another, which is totally fine if you're a drug dealer or something but the rest of us can't help but wonder. This type can also usually be seen mumbling into a tape recorder or just ignoring you all together.

The next is the one who will treat you like a messed up science experiment. These are the ones that make you question if they've actually passed med school. They'll often prescribe something for your ailments but they'll also order some sort of strange test too. "You have a bad cough? Try jumping up and down a few times." Oddly enough even though their methods seem off these are usually the ones who will actually cure you or at least they'll do everything in their power to help. If they can't help they'll probably just send you to some sort of specialist.

They third is the most frustrating. They know something's wrong and so do you but they're not really going to do much about it. This type of doctor is almost like GLaDOS in human form, lucky for you though these tests won't kill you. They'll order you to do some tests and schedule fifty different appointments for the same problem. Usually by the fourth visit you're realizing that nothing's getting done and you still have to pay for that nothing. Well at least you have to pay for it in America, but I'm not even going to be touching that subject.



The final doctor isn't part of anything medical but I just decided he should have an honorable mention. After all a doctor is a doctor no matter the degree or something like that. In the long run I bet he'd be able to help more then the doctors of today. Not that that's saying too much because he has a time machine and I think that counts as cheating.

Introductions


This blog was basically created out of sheer boredom. I know that starting out I'm going to completely suck at this, but it's all fine. In the long run I just want to entertain the people out there that are like me. So now I must say hello to you. My name is Pandora or that is what you will come to know me by. I have chosen this name to protect myself mainly because my employer is a complete jerk when it comes to things like these. All though I depict myself as a pony that doesn't mean that that's all this blog is going to be about. It's going to be whatever pops into my head weather it be reviews, opinions, conversation starters, etc. To tell you the truth I'm basically just going to talk about anything that comes out of my head. So put your seat belt on, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
