Geppetto is a pedophile.

Here's this old man. He lives alone. He has no one in his life. He has these ongoing pederast desires he's never been able to act on, so one day he gets the bright idea to build himself a sex doll.

Well you frickers that want to believe geppetto simply wanted to be a daddy and raise a son need to know that in literature, geppetto expresses no desire to have a "son". Geppetto wants a "boy". He's clear on that shite from the get go.

Anyway, so what does he do? He makes himself a boy, that's what he does and when said boy does what boys do, like cut up and tell lies, he grows this giant phallic thing on his face.

Well we all know what happens next. Reverse cowgirl all the way for geppetto. Real fricked up guy he is.

So the abuse begins and there goes pinnochio. He hooks up with a bunch of French quarter gutter punks and runaways who likely suffered in similar ways. Next thing you know he's getting in all kinds 'a shite.

Geppetto starts to lose his frickin mind and he goes psychotic. I don't know what the faries and whales and shite were all about. Whatever I guess, you'll have to sort that stuff out for yourself but what I do know is geppetto completely loses his shite up top and pinnochio, in his mind becomes a real boy.

The subtext in alot of these fairy tales and shite is pretty dark stuff.

Whatever. Something to sit with.
