Happily Ever After? (The Investigation of Dumb Fairy-Tale Meanings)

If any1 here has evr heard a fairy-tale then u'll know it's always the same pattern. 1) some person doesn't have a perfect life. 2) an opportunity to fix that comes 3) something bad happens 4) some cute guy on a pony comes and makes her feel bttr 5) they all live happily evr after.
Come on! Corny!
Well, i'm not going to blab on about how most (not all) fairy-tales r stupid. No, im going to blab on about some of the bad morals they have in many fairy-tales.

Bad Moral 1: "True beauty is on the inside."
Problem: Well, if nobody can c the beauty, then what use is it to anyone?
Solution: b an individual! To put your inner beauty on the outside, then spice up how u act and how u dress. For example: if somebody dresses funky to match their inner beauty, then u've got to give them points even if it's something atrocious like a turkey-suit (well, i suppose that'd b pretty cool!) or a clown costume.
Loophole to this theory: if a person decides to match their clothing to their inner beauty and comes to school naked, then there's a problem. it is not necessary to give points here.

Bad Moral 2: "Tiny feet get u princes" or "mean ppl hav big feet"
Problem: so not true!
Solution: okay, i'm willing to bet that all of u have at least heard about what happens in Cinderella. She puts on this super-wicked-unnaturally-itsybitsy-teeny-tiny slipper which gets her a prince. There r even some places in the world who used to (or r still) mashing up girl's feet when they're really young (we're talking toddlers here!) so that they'll grow up having tiny feet. The tiniest foot in one culture was called the "golden lily" (or something close to that) and it was 3 inches long! And, these were the size for adults! It's unnatural! So, there is no real solution to this situation (unless u want to go on strike against Cinderella! >:D ) apart from thinking. Who really looks at someone's feet anyway (unless they're morons)? That's no way to live!

Bad Moral 3: "Never eat apples from a slouched old woman who comes to your cottage"
Problem: (this is from Snow White, btw.) After some deep consideration, i have come to the conclusion that there is no problem to this moral. You could do with following it!

If u find any more bad morals, b sure to paste it up here on my blog as well if u have any questions or comments about this article.

The pretty girl gets the guy.

I think this is a really cheep thing, for in all the movies, the pretty girl gets the guy. They don't even get to know each other before they get married! Like why don't they marry the ugly girl, who is really sweet and kind. Instead of those stuck up pricks, called we call girls?
