media: cartoons

I used to believe that cartoons had their own world (I think we all went through that), and that 'assault and battery' was actually 'salt and battery'...lol...like they poured salt on and electricuted someone...lol...

I used to be skeptical about non-disney fairytale characters, since their name was the same but their appearance was diferent. I didn't know copyrights existed and I wanted all fairytale characters to be homogeneous to Disney's version xD

When I was watching reruns of "Smurfs" on Cartoon Network when I was 4, I always thought that Vanity Smurf was a girl because he was very feminine (like that pink flower in his hat). Now I'm 13, and I still watch Smurfs on Boomerang and I realize that Vanity's no chick, he's just a gay guy!

When i was younger about 7 I used to watch Sailor Moon and believed that they were real and i could become a sailor scout than a very very close friend died so i had to grow up much faster than kids should have to and than i would see my friend in my dream as a protector of the scouts a half a year later they cancelled the show so i was forced to give up my childish dreams at 7 1/2 years old

This is not exactly what I believe, but an example of the cruelty that older siblings inadvertantly inflict on their younger brethren.

My mum was studying psychology A'level when I was about 15. I had a younger brother - aged 3. He was really naughty and I was sick and tired of him getting to watch all the cartoons when I wanted to watch other stuff.

I read my mum's psychology textbook and came accross the idea of conditioning. I reasoned that my brother didnt know any different and so I could just tell him that news programmes were, in fact, cartoons. If I did it often enough then he would get the message and I could watch all the TV I wanted. For two weeks I stalked the little imp and kept telling him that news was cartoons and vice versa. Naturally, he wasnt having any of it and would scream blue murder whenever I turned over from a cartoon to the news and told him that I was giving him what he wanted.

Eventually my mum found out and grounded me for a week.

I'm now a clinical psychologist and my brother is an IT consultant. Need I say more...

I used to love dragon ball z and all that manga stuff, i really thought that one day i would turn super and be able to fly and shoot power beams and id save the world. I also used to believe taht id one day be transported to a strange digimon world

I used to believe that those cartoon 'specials' (the ones where they take loads of old classic cartoons and splice them together with a couple of badly-animated new scenes to link the totally unrelated stories) were in fact brand-new, hour long cartoons I'd never seen before.

i believed that you could do things that happen in cartoons so i used to try and do what they did like get hit by sumtin and become flat or sumtin, of course i went through many band-aids and used alot of ice

I Used To Believe In Superheroes, I Used To Tell My Parents I Wanted To be One, Also Used To Think Pirates Were Fun/Cool I Wanted To Be One They Talked To Me About Both Those Situations

i thought that the people in the cartoon shows where real. like tom and jerry. i loved thoughs two to death. so i would all was woundered why dose jerry all was hurt tom so much after all all toms trying to do is his job.

Until quite recently I thought that all cartoons were made by drawing the same picture over and over and the pictures then being flicked in front of a camera, like the flickbooks you make in school. I imagined a poor, underpaid Korean man (for some reason exploited workers were Korean) standing in front a camera and flicking thousands and thousands of pictures.

I thought Hannah Barbera was one woman until someone writed exactly that belief, a minute since

i used to believe that when i watch GODZILLA,
TOKYO city is in a big problem and many people are killed by her.

When I was little, I used to watch "Underdog", and on that cartoon was a character named Polly Purebred. Being around five years old, I had no idea what a pure bred dog was, and thought that it was weird that Polly Purebred was named after some kind fancy bread.

At one point when I was little, I believed cartoon characters were played by actors (not voiced, actually played by them, by people in costumes) like on sitcoms. My mom quickly set me straight.

I saw something on a cartoon show when I was about 5, that a little kid put toilet paper on the floor claiming it's a river, and a chair over it claiming it's a bridge. He got someone to cross the bridge, but he fell in, so he was in real water and drowned. I really wanted to go swimming, but my parents said no, so I wasted a whole bunch of toilet paper putting it on the floor and putting a chair over it. I kept on stepping on the toilet paper, but it was still dry. Then I found out those cartoons were just making stuff up to amuse little kids.
