Eye Of The Beholder

 Let's all agree not to tell Snoop Dogg the story about the fourteen year old girl who chose to live in communal housing with a group of incel little people where she was kept as a house slave.

And while we're at it, please don't ask him to deal with the tale of a preteen who harbored a wish to be "a real boy." 

For sure we don't want him coming anywhere near the creepy old guy who brought a group of children into his factory just to bump them off, one by one. 

Or the cannibalistic orgy being planned by an old woman who was enticing children to her house with candy. 

Let's just say that the auteur behind "Gin and Juice" won't have to be stuck with the task of explaining the nasty underpinnings of the stories we have been telling our children for generations. Apparently Mister Dogg was taken aback by the appearance of a lesbian couple in the Disney movie Lightyear. He was confounded by the prospect of having to explain to his grandson about the freakish, to him, notion that two women who love each other might choose to make a family of their own. Rather than hagnin' out in Grandpa Snoop's living room "gettin' it on all night." 

Or maybe Grandpa Snoop could have gone with an even easier explanation: It's a move, see? And it's pretend. And sometimes things happen in movies that don't happen in real life. 

Except they do. And the idea that Snoop Dogg is embarrassed by anything does make the mind wander just a bit. He is, according to his press, the ultimate family man "by Hollywood standards." Just not families that include two mommies. Which in turn reminds me of my own father, who once went to see the film, Natural Born Killers, and I asked my generally open-minded dad what he thought. He knew he was talking to his cinema geek son, so I could tell he was tempering his reaction. "It was, um, interesting," then a long pause, "but did it have to be so violent?"

Well, yeah. It's about Natural Born Killers.

I wonder how Grandpa Snoop would explain that one.
