Innocent fairytale, or nefarious scheme to corrupt our children?

Little Red Riding Hood has always sounded a little dirty to me. The whole concept of an innocent little girl dressed in provocative red walking through a forest, and being buaya-ed by a Big Bad Wolf is just a little too weird to be a fairytale. And then there's the dialogue.

"My, what big hands you have."

"The better to touch you with, my dear."

"My, what a big mouth you have."

"The better to kiss you with, my dear."

"My, what big teeth you have."

"The better to eat you with, my dear."

See? See?? It's got sexual undertones ALL OVER IT. In fact, it's so blatant we might as well call it sexual overtones. That is prime material to make a porn movie, right after the wolf licks his lips he dives in and, well, eats her. Okay, except for the bestiality involved, but then no one ever said wolf meant real wolf, as in canis lupis. It could mean wolf the way wolf means in Cantonese. Does anyone agree with me?

Or maybe I'm just horny and see sex everywhere. Something tells me I should quit while I'm ahead...

Sidenote: If you think that's sick/weird and wanna leave a comment about my sickness/weirdness, save your breath. I know it and you know it, and it's not bloody likely that I'm gonna change.

OMG SAFFY!!~ I think so too...!!! Little Red Riding Hood has such a suggestive book title... and all the eating, touching and seeing parts... woot... junior pornography man!!! And Alice in Wonderland is a big week-long acid trip and Hansel and Gretel is actually paedophilia in disguise!!! O.o

Storybooks arent as innocent and as straight forward when you used to read them when your young eh? *chuckles*
