I used to believe…

When I was watching a film on the TV I supported "good guys", of course. When good and bad started fighting I strained all my muscles, clenched my fists believing that it would help "good guys" to win.

I used to believe…

When I was a child there was an advertisement on TV where they tried to sell a remedy against lice, rash and other things like that. They repeated the advertisement so many times that I learnt it by heart. I repeated the words of the advertiser lots of times before someone explained me what "pubis lice" meant.

I used to believe…

When I was 7, I was into stuff like today's Candyman and It. I was brave and never got scared until I saw Scary Movie (2000). That's when I wet my bed. I never knew humor 'till then.

I used to believe…

Thanks to The Muppets, I used to believe that Dr. Watson really was a dog in the Sherlock Holmes stories. Years later I was very confused at first when I started reading one of them.

I used to believe…

on the the show Mister Rogers Neighborhood Mister Rogers was not only talking to me he could also hear me talking back to him and since my best friend was watching the show at her house if i yelled loud enough she would be able to hear me through her tv

I used to think that, because in the Empire Carpet commercials they sing,"800 588 2300 EMPIRE!!", Empire was part of the phone number and you'd have to dial 800-588-2300-EMPIRE to call them.

I used to believe…

At 8 my mom thought I would enjoy the movie the Excorcist?! For the next two years I believed the devil was going to possess me, so I used to put my dolls and stuffed animals in a cocoon around me to protect me. What was my mom thinking? (I still have never watched that movie to this day)

I used to believe that earth was the mean girl off of rugrats dream and if you said something mean about her that you would die. I never said anything mean about rugrats when i was a kid

I used to believe it was Ronald McDonald that made the sun light up because in a McDonald's commercial when I was a child he pulled a lamp cord from the bottom of the sun and it turned on. I thought the commercial was informing us that's how the sun "came on".

I used to believe that the laugh tracks on sitcoms were actual people watching the show in their own houses, so i used to laugh really loud so they could hear me too.

I used to think when I was around 6 or 7 that every bit of a movie was individually drawn out, and then when every single bit of the film was done and there were thousand of pictures on pieces of paper, someone would flip them through and other people would record it. After it was recorded, the voices were added.
Whenever someone came round and we watched a movie on TV, I'd drive them crazy being so specially in awe by it and pausing it every 2 minutes exclaiming with utter amazement, "ISN'T IT SO COOL? SOMEONE DREW THAT!" occasionally I return my attention to the TV and press the pause button over and over so that each frame went one after the after slowly. "And that! And that! And that!"
Well, it SEEMS kinda logical ;) I have no idea how I thought that up or how I found out it wasn't true. Imagine what I'd have been like if I hadn't figured out how movies were really made by the time Shrek came out! I'd have been pausing it on DVD every few seconds to pore over every little detail...

I used to believe…

That at every end of a tv ehrn the credits showed up I thought it sayed what it did in the show.. so I was looking for hi all the time :P

I used to believe…

When I was younger, about 3-4 an avert was on TV showing a man planting Skittles.A huge rainbow came out of the ground and it rained large amounts of Skittles.

Well I tried this. I was distraught when nothing happened.

I used to think that if you opened up a TV set, there would be little people inside acting, and they would all be shocked to see giant people peering down at them. Yeah, I'm weird.

I used to believe…

When i was about 4 or 5 i got the Aladdin movie. I was so happy I watched it all day everyday. My uncle got tired of it and told me if i closed my eyes at the end of the movie, before the ginie jumped out and said "gotch ya" that he wouldn't say it. So for about a year, everytime I watched it I closed my eyes at the end.

i used to believe that there were little people inside of the radio sets singing sings every time the radio sets were turned on. i was so amazed that they all knew all the songs there were.
