Cartoon Princess Dispenses Fairy Tale 'Advice' for Your Daughter
Filed under: Funny Stuff, New In Pop Culture
Think about the worst lessons about love and romance that you don't want your daughter to follow.
Then microwave the popcorn, grab the remote, snuggle in for a mother-daughter "let's bond quickly before you head out with your friends" night and tune into Second City's new Web comedy series, "Advice for Young Girls from a Cartoon Princess."
Actually, we find these tips hysterical.
"Desire is when a man wants you so much that he's willing to yell at you and tell you if you don't eat with him, you don't eat at all!" Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" advises on the newest flick.
The Little Mermaid's life lesson? "Never be comfortable in the body you're given."
Yep, why try to emulate for our daughters what a healthy adult relationship looks and feels like, when you can project Belle and Ariel and shine the spotlight on such beastly ideas as: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ... as long as the woman is really good looking."

Jodee said...I've always felt the same way... Be Ariel and leave your everyone and everything you've ever know for some guy you don't even know because he's cute. Be Belle and no matter what he does or how badly he treats you, go back to him because you can't live without him and if you love him enough, he'll change. Yeah, right. I've pointed that nonsense out to my girls since they were very, very small. We like to call them the Pretty Stupid Princesses.

I'm a brunette with brown eyes and always thought I was Belle, the one princess who's not a damsel in distress and actually has a head on her shoulders and wants much more for her than what's around her. She saves the Prince! I am 21 and that movie is still my favorite of all movies. Since being in college, I found my own Prince and I too saved him from something that made him a better person. Long live Disney!
