So that's where they get it.

 

[Prison Mike]

these girls are insane if they actually think they're a princess

 

[AnorexicBatman]

My daughter ain't gonna be no ***** princess...
She's gonna be a real Sarah Connor, Ellen Ripley or Samus Aran....
Joan Of Arc or even Midna/Zelda... the only bad ass princesses..

 

[terry78]

^Midna in her true form looks ****ty as hell.

 

[AnorexicBatman]

Psssh!! Naw!!! She's hot!!!
I cried at the end when she left... screw what's-her-face Aeris from FF7!
She even says to Link, "Am I so beautiful that you lost your speech?"

 

[The Guard]

Princess/****e syndrome, methinks.

 

[Wiseman]

I have an irritable bowel syndrome

 

[Heretic]

I know a girl who was raised to believe that she is a princess. She is 26, and doesnt have a drivers license because "I should have a driver" and has never had a job of any kind because it is beneath her. She refuses to cook her own meals and is just a horrifyingly miserable person to be around because she isnt quite pretty enough to land a rich guy, so she has to suffer with being lower middle class/poor. Plus, she has to have sex with old men so theyll pay her bills and other things that princesses without a kingdom must do.

Why Kids Think It's Cool:

According to our six-year-old niece: "You get to wear pretty dresses and you get to ride ponies and everyone calls you "Your Highness" and you get to eat cake all the time and you get to live in a castle where no one ever tells you to make your bed and you get to marry a handsome prince and did we mention the ponies?" (This is where we became too engrossed in pouring a scotch and soda to continue listening.)

Why the Job Actually Sucks:

As we explained to our niece, she's correct about almost everything, right up until that part about the handsome prince.

It's much more likely that she'll have to marry her cousin - the one you guys see at the lake every summer who picks his nose. If she doesn't like it, too bad, them's the rules, and no amount of preventative cootie measures are going to make the process any easier.

In fact, cooties might be the least of her worries, because cooties won't be the reason her children end up like Charles II of Spain, who was so ******ed he couldn't chew his own food.

That sort of thing comes from "homozygosity." (You'll probably want to spell that for her.)

Hence so many chicks that have this "everything revolves around me" mindset.

So it looks like I finally have enough reason to go burn Disney to the ground. Pick up your pitchforks and torches ladies and gentlemen. We're about to roast some Mickey up in here!

 

[AnorexicBatman]

Not Mickey!!!
It's Ariel you want!

Belle (Beauty and the Beast), Mulan (chick who dressed up as a dude to be in the army and has a pet dragon) and Jasmine (In the animated series at least) are cool...

My daughter ain't gonna be no ***** princess...
She's gonna be a real Sarah Connor, Ellen Ripley or Samus Aran....
Joan Of Arc or even Midna/Zelda... the only bad ass princesses..

She was pretty close to insane, too

 

[Majic Walrus]

Has anyone ever heard of raising your children?

SHOCKER!

You don't want them to get "princess syndrome" then teach them that princesses are stupid and the only way to achieve success is through making millions for your parents...

Or something.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

just one more "syndrome" for the government to think they can cram drugs down kids throats.

 

[Yurka]

I swear to Christ if I have a daughter who turns out like this, she getting a crack across her face.

Dude is that like a reference to physical child abuse or child sexual abuse or child drug abuse... I can't tell.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

ok, seriously? they needed a study to figure this out? girls suck. we're vain, annoying and spoiled. Even a chubbo like me, I can really pull some princess crap and the men I am with, friends or lovers, cater to it because I'm a girl. I can't believe someone paid for this ridiculous study

President Clinton used tax dollars to study the methane gas in cow farts. Are you really surprised with what tax dollars are spent on?

Yeah...you "know" a "girl."

Dude, why didn't you tell us? I didn't know you had princess syndrome.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

I actually witnessed my aunt tell my 19 year old cousin, "I WANT you to feel entitled for everyone to buy you expensive gifts." No mention of earning or reciprocating. Entitled. Entitled for what? Because she is cute? I had to leave the room

 

[The Battousai]

I would've been compelled to punch her in the crotch

 

[Ghostvirus]

Not compelled entitled.

Jeez! Is this a girl-bashing thread for frustrated people or what?
