    [to the tune of the old Bosco commercial jingle]

    Long Live (the) New Flesh!
    You’ll see it grows on you!
    Buy a WHIMSEY PLAYSET so
    The New Flesh grows on you!

    Drink WHIMSEY FRUIT JUICE!
    It never isn’t fresh!
    All the vitamins you’ll use
    (to) Nourish your New Flesh!

    Hey, I remember that line from Sword and Sworcery EP.

      Sworcery was making a reference to Videodrome, FYI.

    This DOES explain why Whimsy made the poor decision to back Betamax in the old home video wars.

      And here I thought they were using Super 8.

    As mad scientists goes, this guy’s actually pretty nice. None of that ‘And THEN I shall turn them all into GIANT FLAMING MANTIS PEOPLE THAT BURN COLD FIRE! AHAHAHAHAH! And THEN they shall COWER BEFORE MY DEATH-OMLETTES! Bwahahahahaha!THE WORLD SHALL TASTE MY EGGS!’ stuff as of yet.

          At least I’m not rotten. May be a little cracked though.

      Well, Helen said there was such a thing as good (or at least non-evil) Mad Geniuses, and that they have a somewhat… odd interest in children (not like THAT)…

      A lot of mad scientists sound nice at first. Helen B Narbon and Captain Bram can both be quite personable; doesn’t mean they’re not homicidal maniacs.

    (TUNE: “Who’ll Stop The Rain”, Creedence Clearwater Revival)

    I have many children,
    Made them all myself!
    Watch me as I build, then
    Put them on the shelf!
    They’ll indoctrinate you
    Into my domain!
    They’ll inspire you!
    They’ll re-wire you!
    They’ll wash your brain!

    See the boy with TV
    Watch the Whimsy ‘bots!
    As we sing so twee, we
    Delve into his thoughts!
    Messages sublim’nal
    In his mind remain!
    Making him see
    He loves Whimsy!
    We’ll wash his brain!

    Some folks fear the diff’rent,
    Some folks fear the new …
    So we, in a jiff, went
    Underground with you!
    Now that you’ve awakened,
    You can take the reins!
    Wait no longer!
    Go and conquer!
    Go wash their brains!

      I love the fact that Ed and I have similar taste in music. I couldn’t parse today’s because my brain was stuck on CCR’s Have You Ever Seen The Rain, conveniently I have a fair amount of CCR in my iTunes and could pull it up.

    I don’t know why, but there’s few things as frightening to me as a very cute thing saying a very disturbing thing. i think I’ve seen too many movies with creepy children as prominent villains.

      A very good friend once re-wrote the “I Love You…You Love Me” song from the Barney the Dinosaur into a very sick, twisted, and evil song.

      When we were all out camping at an SCA event, we used to terrify the camps next to us by getting 30 or so of us to sing it in sweet harmony, as innocently as we could…

    Ha! AllI can think of is the song by Fear Factory, 0-0 {Where evil dwells}

    Aren’t cute fuzzies used for brainwashing the standard business model?

      Yes. However, someone had to do it first. I think we are seeing the alpha model here.

    Hopefully watching this film won’t induce a cathode-ray tumor in our intrepid heroes.

      Well, no more than the poorly-shielded reactor core will.

      Hopefully working next to the D of I has given our heroes’ DNA repair mechanisms enough practice…

      …and for the non-DNA based heroes, that Dr Collodi doesn’t mention Frosted Whimsy Flakes(tm).

      This is on a film reel, not a cassette tape. It’s being projected.

    Aah, so he’s very much like Walt Disney.
