he could not bray.

well i was younger, my mum used to bring home these really cheap vhs tapes of fairy tales. fairy tales that i don't think actually exist...fairy tales that were concocted by some dealers in some basement (also probably used for amateur porn and to house forex boxes for when the parents come over).

there was one video story about this little donkey named that couldn't bray*. his own dunkey parents were embarrassed of him because whenever he would try and bray, nothing would come out. so he was pretty much ostracized by his entire community because he couldn't do what he was meant to do. no friends! in the end, he ends up learning how to bray because there is this huge spectacle of a crappy song and dance. his dunkey parents are finally proud of the poor guy and panchito is assumed to be happy hee-hawing and bearing the burden of another species.

i'm sure movie had a lot of illegal, subliminal messages that dealt with smashing store fronts in the middle of the darkened night but i'm pretty sure all in all that story told you to start working on fitting in lest you be shamed in front of your family, your friends, youtube watchers, etc.

i didn't really learn anything from this film.

but i wonder what other kids did.



* when i was a kid, i thought that they said he couldn't 'pray'. satan's donkey.
