@@justkittensbeingkittens5892I'm going to be so fr with you, the only people I've ever heard say that were misogynists. Considering that, nobody has said that, in fact if that was a majority opinion colleen wouldn't be in the hot shit she is now. NGL, it really just looks like you wanted to bring her gender into this. If that wasn't what you meant, sorry but it doesn't translate well over the internet. It's a stupid belief, along with "women can't abuse men" (which I've heard far more often than the former).
as a child, Colleen provoked her family's dog into biting her face and then lied about it so it got euthanized. she laughed about this story on a live stream. so yeah i'm not sure that the bit about her murdering a snake is a joke.
That's... So disgusting and ghoulish that I can't, this woman nearly fits the triad of things that sociopaths do: bedwetting, *cruelty to animals* and arson.

What the actual fuck... At eight, our family cat's death was the single most painful thing I'd ever been through, and without getting into details, I'd been through some shit by then. Nothing malicious or anything, just bad luck health-wise. Intellectually I know there are people like this, but I find it so hard to wrap my mind around people who deliberately hurt, even kill their pets.
As long as I've been alive, I've had at least one cat around me and since spawning a consciousness if ANYTHING happened to ANY ANIMAL I would be inconsolable. Anyone who takes pleasure in hurting/ bothering animals for fun is an automatic no. This always means a shitty excuse for a human.
When I was five my dad killed a spider that was in the bathtub, I was inconsolable and wouldn’t speak to him for several days. So yeah, same. And it’s hard to get into the headspace of someone who thinks harming animals is entertainment.
@@Rain_ReignI'm a similar way, I'm very sensitive to the welfare of non-human animals. Humans too, obviously, but that's more expected of people. Been this way since a kid. That's one reason why I don't eat animals anymore, and why I'm participating in nature conservation efforts and taking care of my local environment by picking up trash etc. and educating people in my life about how to be considerate of animals in their everyday life.
When I was a little child my mum bought a small dog. The funny thing is that she was born on the exact same day, month and year as I did. I loved her but since I was an annoying little baby the dog hated me. She did bit me once on my face and I had to go to the hospital. And my mum did think about putting her down for it. Thankfully she didn't. The dog lived a happy long life and died of an old age at the age of 17. If she did get put down I would have reggret it forever I'm sure.
@@lusyfox Bless her, your mom sounds like a good hearted person. Dogs have the right to protect themselves against attacks, be they intentional or not, and they have a right to guard their food etc. It's sad that some people can't understand this, but I'm glad your mom did. I'm also glad that you're okay.
@@chatnoir9038 Thank you. My mum is really amazing person with huge heart tbh. And I'm really happy she realised that it was not our dog fault but mine at the time. I actually don't remember her biting me at all nor do I have any trauma or scars. She could have died for nothing and I'm glad she did not. Thanks for understanding. You are truly kind as well.
Can't imagine being a writer who's not been published yet or had to self publish and then seeing this, that'd be me done for a week, existential crisis and all
Pretending to be so childish when the character is supposedly at the age to be getting a period is soooooooooo disturbing…. Running away from home, talking about a diaper…. Just gives more insight into the idea that she based this character on developmentally disabled people
It’s the dehumanisation of disabled people for me. It’s so weird that it’s still pushed as comedy to mock people who can’t even understand they’re being bullied. When did we decide this was funny as a society?
I mean I get what you're saying, but I do think you need a new measurement system. I know 2 8 year olds who have periods. Actually one of them is almost 8.
@@DelphineTheWorstBladeEvermate she said herself that Miranda is based on a disabled person in her family. Also, Miranda is supposed to be 13 when she got her period so your comment just doesn't make any sense here. It doesn't matter anywhere that also 8 years old can get periods
I promise Colleen isn't a cursed name my hs choir teachers name is Colleen and she's the most kind and loving women you'd ever meet 😭 she was *that* teacher for me in hs especially bc she knew about how things were at home 🥲 Colleen Ballinger js just a fcked up person
She also has a hatchimal video where she forced her cat to force its way out of a paper bag and it's so messed up. I have this thing about not pushing animals past their stress/fear threshold/not violating their boundaries. There's also the one where she shows a dead cat someone put up fliers for and was laughing about it. The animal mistreatment isn't as bad as the grooming, but GOD it makes me loathe her.
that's absolutely horrific, wtf.. people that go out of their way to harm animals like that are the worst. i can't imagine putting up flyers for a recently deceased pet and then having someone laugh about it
When I was a kid I was mauled by my family dog and like colleen it was my own fault. I knew the dog didn't like kids and being touched but I ignored that and tried kissing his head anyway. I was only 7 but when I heard my parents were planning on having the dog put down I got on my knees and begged them not to do it because I knew it was my fault. I cried and cried until they gave in. I understand child her was scared about being told off, I was, but the thought of a beloved family member dying because of my stupidity and unwillingness to listen overrode the fear of punishment. I would be grounded for the rest of my childhood if it meant I could stop my dog dying.
Colleen went to Azusa Pacific University which is an evangelical Christian university in California. Learned this the other day because it’s where she met her strange friend Corey. Also, she started Miranda Sings there to make fun of the other girls there that would post videos to RUclips thinking they were the greatest signers and she thought they were terrible. It’s was just started to make fun of others. She’s always been a mean girl.
Her books have me 100% convinced that Colleen was molested as a child and it REALLY shows, in addition to all the purity culture BS. It's very gross that children were exposed to any of it, and while I obviously blame her for writing and marketing it, I also blame parents who couldn't be bothered to flip through ten pages of it before giving it to their children because it's immediately clear that it is not for children. Is no one but other youtubers paying attention to what your children are exposed to? I just....I'm so tired.
I agree. She was both molested as a child AND has a personality disorder. Her personality disorder does not allow her to accept "weakness" or see herself as a victim, so she has spun a story in her mind that she was an active participant. I have a family member with similar issues. She will say things like "I think they liked the attention, so it wasn't that bad" about child SA victims because if she accepts that they are victims, she has to accept that she was a victim as well. I think Colleen is the same.
When I was a kid I thought I killed a cat and I lived with that guilt for over a decade before finding out that I did not in fact kill that cat I would never go on video and laugh about actually definitely getting a dog put down She's unbelievable
I was absolutely *devastated* for hurting a chipmunk when it was trying to get into my room. 😭 How are people so disgusting, laughing over a dog being put down?!
I'm still pretty torn up about a bird I hit with my car years ago even though it pretty much jumped into my tire. I don't understand people like colleen
me when i had to use a broom to shoo away a mouse that got in my house... damn those little eyes. if that little thing didnt spread diseased id keep him LOL
when i was 6 i was really scared i accidentally hurt a grasshopper, the grasshopper was perfectly fine but from then on i had a fear of dead bugs and i only recently got over my fear of touching grasshoppers. maybe it was a good trauma, because it made me be extremely gentle with bugs, i love bugs so much
This is so sad because this concept could be great if she was actually a funny person. For example, Weird Al Yankovic released a scrapbook-type satirical autobiography in 1985 and it's hilarious. His brand of humor totally works with this format. Colleen's humor, on the other hand, is just so shallow and try-hard and caters to no one (like you've said, aimed at kids but too inappropriate for them, appropriate for adults but would be too immature for them, so viciously uncool that teenagers wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole). Her awful behavior aside, it is just wild that she managed to have the career that she has.
Does Colleen have custody of her children? Because between this sex pest behavior and the fixation on animal abuse I'm starting to think she shouldn't.
She does. But from what I gather, she doesn't actually spend a lot of time around them. Her husband, mom and live-in nanny all watch her kids more than her.
I don't understand how people casually talk about their childhood pets they killed and laugh about it. I don't care if they're 'coping'. I accidentally started a house fire when I was a baby because I knocked a candle over. Whenever I talk about that story I leave out the part where our 2 cats died because I hate even thinking about that. I still feel guilty about that, I definitely don't laugh about it.
Oh my, I'm so sorry ❤ but obviously you know it wasn't your fault at all. You're still a wonderful person ❤ you don't deserve to hold on to that sadness
100% re: the spew that comes out when you put these people in front of a mic. It’s wild to me that people tell stories about hurting or killing animals in a way that’s not completely distressed or filled with remorse. Even if they’re hearts are so hard that they don’t care… surely they realise the optics are bad.
So if you only recently knew about the dog does that mean that you don't know the things involving cats. There is the time that Miranda put her cat into a paper bag and closed it so that the cat needed to claw its way out so that it could be 'born' like a hatchimal. There is also the time that Colleen was out and saw a missing cat poster and then saw the dead cat on the road and filmed it saying that they found the missing cat.
It bothers me so much when I read the ratings on Goodreads. What the hell is wrong with some parents!? How can they not see a problem with any of this???
i've never watched miranda but i did watch her vlogs for a few years before all this went down and i was made aware of all this situation, she's talked at length about going to a Christian college and being raised so Christian that she wasn't even allowed to celebrate Halloween as a child. she's mentioned also being molested or assaulted by someone from church or her family but never gone into it in debth, you can obviously tell shes a deeply deeply troubled woman and needs some serious therapy. like i get making jokes at your own trauma to cope, that's one thing but what she's doing is so insanely different to that. she needs help.
There's also multiple videos of her abusing her cat as a full grown adult which includes petting them very hard, dropping them hard onto the floor and the worst one that even though it was blurred (I watched it from one of Adam's videoes) I still had to look away because she put her cat in a brown paper bag held it tightly shut and made her cat try to scratch their way out and it felt like it lasted forever just hearing a cat try to fight for their life
“What is it with everyone on this platform, who is also gross, always thinking I wanna hear about their little floor-grippers? Leave me alone” Lmaooooo
No, you were right, the Christianity thing is very important. CoBa exhibits a lot of American Christian fundamentalist ideology in her content, especially as it relates to purity culture and the sexualization of young girls, the normalization of family CSA, and some other stuff I noticed in your last video that I can't remember off the top of my head
Honestly, I think she knew what she was doing in all of this. She knew what she was doing in making this for kids. PS: Please don't call her autistic. Please don't. I do not believe she has that.
Hurting/killing animals and taking pleasure/pride/humor from it from a young age is a known indicator of having antisocial personality disorder js 😶 (To be clear- not all people with aspd hurt animals or other people! It's just a trait that is well known)
it's also one of the strongest indicators of a future serial killer. Not that people with aspd are born serial killers; they, like with any disorder, are far more likely to be victims than victimizers. Anyhow, all this to say, if her public facing career had never taken off, in an alternate universe she's got a half dozen true crime documentaries about her
The main thing I took away from the dog story is that she has been a horrible person since a child and that she has lied and not taken accountability that early as well.
There’s a computer game commonly played in grade school in the US called Oregon Trail about an actual historical migration of people across the US and a funny way of dieing in the game is “of dysentery”.
I can explain the Organ (Oregon) Trail joke (i.e. "I died of dysentery"), there was a computer game in the US back in the '80s and '90s called Oregon Trail where you traveled the eponymous trail from I think somewhere in Missouri(?) to, well, Oregon, via covered wagon in like 1849ish. There were often long stretches between towns and settlements during which any of your party/family members, including yourself, could get sick and potentially die, and dysentery was quite common (or infamous enough that it seemed common) to die from in that game, with the message on-screen when you succumbed to it being "You/[Party member] have/has died of dysentery."
Honestly, as someone who's a survivor of evangelical christianity, I'm really not all that shocked tgat Colleen is/was likely some version of christian. Abuse is rampant in US christianity, and the oppressive, shame-driven purity culture really screws up how you view and exist in the world. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Miranda, besides being an ableist caricature, was Colleen's attempt at trying to work through her childhood/experiences before youtube gone off the deep end. Not that any of this is an appropriate way to do it, or a good attempt at it, but I could see it.
Colleen is a Christian. I used to watch her videos when I was a kid and especially in miranda videos she mentions jesus and god a lot so miranda is definitely very religious im not sure about how much colleen is tho
@@Raya-ir4tmThere's absolutely an argument that she's perpetuating purity culture. Children being taught that certain behaviors will make them slutty is a shitty belief that comes from purity culture.
@@Raya-ir4tm what argument am I starting??? Im not disagreeing with the person I'm just informing them that they are right and colleen is in fact Christian or atleast she was in the past
No you’re 100 percent right. Colleen HAS SAID in the past that she uses Miranda to say the shit she wants to say as herself, without her as Colleen getting in trouble. Also, she grew up strict Christian and homeschooled so that was correct too.
16:45 !!! The Oregon Trail is a computer game played primarily in the 2000’s in the US. I remember going to the “computer lab” in elementary school, giving my “family” the weirdest names I could think of, then selling all of my possessions and killing my “family” by exposure or snakebite or disease lol 💀 Very much like how many of us would kill our Sims by giving them a pool and taking the ladder out after they get in Would definitely recommend - very nostalgic 10/10
The first game version of Oregon Trail was text-based and written in 1971; the first graphical version was published in 1985. It might’ve been less widely distributed but it was big in the 80s and 90s too.
She grew up in a strict Christian family and was homeschooled until high school. She has said in interviews that Miranda does say what she can’t say. I don’t think she is religious anymore but one of brothers has a family RUclips channels and he and his wife have a ton of children and homeschool them because they are super Christian. I am curious if the uncle is based on someone from her youth as well.
The “dying of dysentery” on the Oregon Trail is actually a pretty funny reference, and one that was common on the internet 10ish years ago because it was a game a LOT of us played in school to learn about the actual Oregon Trail and that was a comically easy way to die in the game. It does again bring up the question of WHO this book is for though- I doubt anyone under 20 would have any idea where that joke came from.
"This weirdo is better than me in all the ways that matter". I felt that one in my soul, I recently met someone that made me think the same, it was crushing :/
ik not preying on children is the bare minimum but honestly if somebody produced more media than you and preyed on children meanwhile youve done none of that , yea you are better than that weirdo in the ways that matter .
I've been going down the rabbit hole and I can say for sure that you're right about Miranda. Colleen herself said that she was based on herself in her teenage years if she'd never matured. With that perspective, I gotta say that her apology video is a lot less surprising...
At 20:08, the camel toe "fan art" from Kory is Colleen's assistant and friend Kory Desoto, which makes this all even creepier. I Googled his name and he shows up under Upland, CA.
The Oregon Trail bit was kinda funny (the dying of dysentery, not stalking and breaking into someone's home), not intelligently so, but I had to play the game as a kid so it brought back memories.
I honestly can’t understand how something like this could get published . Just listening to alizee read parts of it makes me so mad and disgusted that this shit is aimed towards kids .
I used to watch her 'psycho soprano' channel a bit years ago, and she often talked about her very Christian upbringing and how she went to a Christian college where she met kory. She had a video where they talked about how he came out to her and that he was really nervous because he knew her whole family were quite homophobic but they embraced it about him with open arms...... but, ya know, old habits die hard....
yeah the modelling jokes were about pimping her out, i feel like, so there ARE creepy uncle jokes in this book too. p.s. my mom is a minion meme mom and she would hate this. it is truly for no one
I was bit in the face by a dog when I was ten. The owners had given me permission (they were talking to my parents when it happened), the dog showed no outward aggression and I was just patting the side of its belly (the dog was old so I think I may have accidentally touched a sore patch). Despite it not being my fault, I told the owners and my parents that I had tried to pick the dog up and that is why it bit me, because I didn't want the dog to be put down. I can't imagine WANTING a dog to be put down. Absolutely vile.
Based on what I’ve seen of Colleen’s books, if I had read them as a child they would have made me severely uncomfortable. To be fair, I was a very sensitive child, but these would have really bothered me for a good while after reading them
You discussing this horrible “book” (more like inner thoughts of a POS child groomer) is what makes it bearable to listen to. I can’t believe she got away with this. My kids didn’t watch her but they said when they were about 10 all of their friends did… so freakin’ scary that up until now I thought she was 💯 for kids… well she is but not in a good way. I can’t believe I had no idea..
16:56 !!! She’s making a reference to the video game by the same name “The Oregon Trail” it’s an educational game based off the pioneer life on the actual oregon trail. dying of dysentery was common in the game and kinda became an inside joke/meme by the fans.
I cry if i accidentally step on my cat's tail. How do you have a nostalgic laugh about being the reason your dog was put down? I also hate when videos pop up on Shorts that are of people intentionally scaring their pets. They laugh hysterically after terrifying an animal they're supposed to love and take care of. You can't say to a cat "it's just a prank, bro!" They don't understand why you did that to them.
Seriously! When I saw Adam McIntyre talking about that group chat name Kory used with minors, I was kinda shocked. Always got creeper vibes from him. He lived/lives with Colleen, Erik, & the babies. Along with dogs, cats, & chickens.
The THX sound (aka the Deep Note) was used because it primed the audience to believe that the sound engineering was revolutionary. The THX logo debuted in 1984 before Return of the Jedi when movies were becoming more commonly seen as an extremely profitable industry and more entertainment rather than art. Theaters were starting to invest in higher quality speaker systems, so THX developed a sound logo to showcase it. The sound starts off quiet in a small range of frequencies and becomes a muddled mess as each tone goes towards it's end destination. It crescendos up to the final chord, and the chord itself has an auditory illusion of sounding louder than it actually is due to a bunch of harmonics and other stuff. Essentially it started as a crappy miniscule sound, becomes a random mess, and then punches the audience into the future with a loud resolving chord that was never before heard or felt in theaters before. It was meant to showcase that you were witnessing the future of sound design in movies. Fun fact: THX actually lost the original recording a few months after the first time it was used. Because the creator, James A. Moorer, had used a randomized path for the notes to take to get to the final tone, they couldn't recreate it properly. They tried over and over but none of the iterations had the same feel to the original. Eventually someone found a recording of it and after hearing it again, everyone agreed that it was irreplaceable.
Colleen Ballinger is a person where I want to take her brain apart to see why she makes the decisions she does. Tbh theres a subset of people in the US that 100% believe that they are the only important beings on the planet. The type of people that can excuse crimes against fellow humans and defenseless animals because its not happening to them lol. No offense to anyone, but sometimes a bit of suffering can be healthy for people to have at some point in their lives.
I would not call yourself less successful so readily. I doubt she writes all of this on her own. Even if she does do it all herself, it is terrible. This is no Crime & Punishment.- Although she is having to face her crimes but trying to avoid punishment. She can sing well, but as for genuine talent? No, I wouldn’t call her genuinely talented. She has some objective talent- like her singing skill again. But artistically she doesn’t make anything will any value whatsoever. Thus I would not call het talented ultimately. Well except she sure has a great ol’ talent at grooming…. Her cats!
Okay. So…. That darn poop picture reminded me of a comic book my friend and I made in middle school….. but like we were 11, and Colleen is a full ass grown adult. I look back on that stuff and think it’s embarrassing but apparently…. I could’ve had a best seller on my hands 😂
Just like John Boy Walton. "I remember that fateful day on Walton's Mountain, when I made a poop, I showed it to Grandpa, and he told me that, he never saw one quite that big, in all his days, living on Walton's Mountain."
Oregon Trail was the original Dark Souls experience. It was a hard-as-fuck educational computer game in which you played as a group of people in the eastern United States (during the era in which the country was expanding westward) trying to get to Oregon for the perceived opportunity at a better life. Dying of dysentery was a common death. There were many other sources of death in the game. For example, some of your party members could get lost in the woods, someone could die if you attempted to ford a stream, party members could die of frostbite or eating meat that wasn't properly prepared. Sometimes, someone in the party would just fall ill and die for no discernible reason. There was just so much stuff that could kill your party that was out of your control that reaching Oregon and finishing the game felt like a matter of pure luck. If you ever get the chance, try it.
14:07 Finally, a fragment that presumably comes from the author's heart and best describes what everything is really about: having an excuse to make one's mark at the expense of others. Constantly.
You know what all of this dead animal stuff reminds me of?? Serial killer behavior. As someone who loves listening to podcasts about serial killers and the like the pattern most of us notice is that killing or torturing animals at an early age is a sign of something bigger.
The idea that people find dead animals funny hurts my heart. I think introducing kids to animals is a great way to build compassion. Even the death of a beloved pet could at least be a safer opportunity to process grief and mourning at a young age. I grew up with many different animals in my life, and while the pain of losing an animal is harsh, I think it's also helped me appreciate all the little moments I've had with those animals. All of my pets have shorter lifespans than my own, but that just means I should make sure they're happy and appreciated now.
she is the kind of person who thinks edgy = funny and cool. Like she wants us to think that she is so fucked up and weird. But at the end she is just pathetic and sad. No idea how she could even not being cancelled for these books already. This is so messed up that we let that slip through unfortunately
She really wants to normalize her assault on the psyche of children. Like Bundy, Colleen has a facade, that she uses to operate alongside normal society. She knows how to seem like a nice person to those who don't look into her eyes and see pure evil. Hurting animals is 🚩🚩🚩 red flag. Colleen is exposing her thoughts as a child psychopath in those books. A creepy uncle (or aunt) who is clearly a pedophile isn't a joke. Children shouldn't be normalized to the idea of it either. People call her out for harming other living things, and she quickly spins her wrong behaviors, calling them 'mistakes,' as if it was a typo. What she calls 'mistakes we all make,' are crimes, or purposeful harm to others. Her 'mistakes' aren't things normal people 'mistakenly ' do, but she has no intention of changing, and she viciously🐍 makes that clear on the ukulele. She hates people who stand up for her victims. She has survived by getting her young cult members to attack anyone who criticizes her. She likes overpowering children and animals and then degrading and controlling them. She's mean. She enjoys being mean.
Considering how someone got in trouble for posting their own baby picture because it still counts as csem/cp, if that is in fact an image of her not wearing anything (perhaps even if it’s edited) I’d guess that would apply to this as well.
I don’t know if anyone’s said it yet but the THX sound was originally used to show the range of audio in the theatre (or at least that’s what I heard LOL)
When I saw the blurred image of the little girl not even 3 minutes in I was so disturbed. How did this fly under the radar for so long?? All these "jokes" about hurting animals and s*xualizing children were just gigantic red flags.
The animal abuse--spoken so happily by these people--is GODDAMN GROSS. X3x If I had done something so horrible i don't think I'd recount it as anything other than a 'PLEASE FUCKING teach your kids how to handle animals before leaving them alone with one' type cautionary tale and it's only cuz I'd feel SO damn guilty. X3x
13:17 Not sure if anyone has commented this or not, but I've always heard that the THX sound existed because it was a way to check the sounds in a movie theater (hence, why it starts at a very low tone and goes rather high pitched). If there was a "gap" in the sound, that would mean something was probably wrong with the speakers in the theater.
The name Colleen single-handedly paying bills for half of RUclips in 2023, I love it lmao

Nothing malicious or anything, just bad luck health-wise. Intellectually I know there are people like this, but I find it so hard to wrap my mind around people who deliberately hurt, even kill their pets.
As long as I've been alive, I've had at least one cat around me and since spawning a consciousness if ANYTHING happened to ANY ANIMAL I would be inconsolable. Anyone who takes pleasure in hurting/ bothering animals for fun is an automatic no. This always means a shitty excuse for a human.
When I was five my dad killed a spider that was in the bathtub, I was inconsolable and wouldn’t speak to him for several days. So yeah, same. And it’s hard to get into the headspace of someone who thinks harming animals is entertainment.
@@Rain_ReignI'm a similar way, I'm very sensitive to the welfare of non-human animals. Humans too, obviously, but that's more expected of people. Been this way since a kid. That's one reason why I don't eat animals anymore, and why I'm participating in nature conservation efforts and taking care of my local environment by picking up trash etc. and educating people in my life about how to be considerate of animals in their everyday life.
When I was a little child my mum bought a small dog. The funny thing is that she was born on the exact same day, month and year as I did. I loved her but since I was an annoying little baby the dog hated me. She did bit me once on my face and I had to go to the hospital. And my mum did think about putting her down for it. Thankfully she didn't. The dog lived a happy long life and died of an old age at the age of 17. If she did get put down I would have reggret it forever I'm sure.
@@lusyfox Bless her, your mom sounds like a good hearted person. Dogs have the right to protect themselves against attacks, be they intentional or not, and they have a right to guard their food etc. It's sad that some people can't understand this, but I'm glad your mom did. I'm also glad that you're okay.
@@chatnoir9038 Thank you. My mum is really amazing person with huge heart tbh. And I'm really happy she realised that it was not our dog fault but mine at the time. I actually don't remember her biting me at all nor do I have any trauma or scars. She could have died for nothing and I'm glad she did not. Thanks for understanding. You are truly kind as well.
Can't imagine being a writer who's not been published yet or had to self publish and then seeing this, that'd be me done for a week, existential crisis and all
@rach3092encouraging bc the bar for publishing is that low, discouraging bc it was published in the first place
I’m sure if you had 1M child followers - they’d publish anything your wrote too 💰💰💰 just like gabbie Hanna’s “poetry”
Popularity has nothing to do with talent or quality these days.
As a writer…. It’s sad to know how easy for others to get really bad books published. 🤦♀️
I've almost given up 😭🥹
Pretending to be so childish when the character is supposedly at the age to be getting a period is soooooooooo disturbing…. Running away from home, talking about a diaper…. Just gives more insight into the idea that she based this character on developmentally disabled people
And weird AF how meta this is…. Addressing hate comments, bragging about meeting Jerry Seinfeld….. it’s so awful
It’s the dehumanisation of disabled people for me. It’s so weird that it’s still pushed as comedy to mock people who can’t even understand they’re being bullied. When did we decide this was funny as a society?
I mean I get what you're saying, but I do think you need a new measurement system. I know 2 8 year olds who have periods. Actually one of them is almost 8.
More likely a fetish character for pedos. She knew exactly who was wanking to this.
@@DelphineTheWorstBladeEvermate she said herself that Miranda is based on a disabled person in her family. Also, Miranda is supposed to be 13 when she got her period so your comment just doesn't make any sense here. It doesn't matter anywhere that also 8 years old can get periods
Is bad writing a Colleen thing?
Did somebody curse that name? We need a new Colleen to come forth and put an end to this madness.
I promise Colleen isn't a cursed name my hs choir teachers name is Colleen and she's the most kind and loving women you'd ever meet 😭 she was *that* teacher for me in hs especially bc she knew about how things were at home 🥲 Colleen Ballinger js just a fcked up person
@@lunarlionlilith ok so the universe has balance. Bless your teacher!
Honestly I've never met a Colleen, now I'm gonna take notice
Colleen Ballinger and Colleen Hoover. Hmmm
im doing my best i promise lmao
the 2 colleens i heard of that have the worst writing ever. number 1 Colleen Ballinger and number 2, Colleen Hoover
She also has a hatchimal video where she forced her cat to force its way out of a paper bag and it's so messed up. I have this thing about not pushing animals past their stress/fear threshold/not violating their boundaries. There's also the one where she shows a dead cat someone put up fliers for and was laughing about it. The animal mistreatment isn't as bad as the grooming, but GOD it makes me loathe her.
that's absolutely horrific, wtf.. people that go out of their way to harm animals like that are the worst. i can't imagine putting up flyers for a recently deceased pet and then having someone laugh about it
When I was a kid I was mauled by my family dog and like colleen it was my own fault. I knew the dog didn't like kids and being touched but I ignored that and tried kissing his head anyway. I was only 7 but when I heard my parents were planning on having the dog put down I got on my knees and begged them not to do it because I knew it was my fault. I cried and cried until they gave in. I understand child her was scared about being told off, I was, but the thought of a beloved family member dying because of my stupidity and unwillingness to listen overrode the fear of punishment. I would be grounded for the rest of my childhood if it meant I could stop my dog dying.
Colleen went to Azusa Pacific University which is an evangelical Christian university in California. Learned this the other day because it’s where she met her strange friend Corey.
Also, she started Miranda Sings there to make fun of the other girls there that would post videos to RUclips thinking they were the greatest signers and she thought they were terrible. It’s was just started to make fun of others. She’s always been a mean girl.
Jack Benny used to make jokes about Azusa.
IMAGINE being an intern at the publishing company and somehow you read the draft, i will literally jump of a window
Her books have me 100% convinced that Colleen was molested as a child and it REALLY shows, in addition to all the purity culture BS. It's very gross that children were exposed to any of it, and while I obviously blame her for writing and marketing it, I also blame parents who couldn't be bothered to flip through ten pages of it before giving it to their children because it's immediately clear that it is not for children. Is no one but other youtubers paying attention to what your children are exposed to? I just....I'm so tired.
Yes
I see no purity culture with Miranda. She's the opposite. She's demented and perverse.
@@DelphineTheWorstBladeEver American flavour of puritanism unironically is hella demented and fucked.
I agree. She was both molested as a child AND has a personality disorder. Her personality disorder does not allow her to accept "weakness" or see herself as a victim, so she has spun a story in her mind that she was an active participant. I have a family member with similar issues. She will say things like "I think they liked the attention, so it wasn't that bad" about child SA victims because if she accepts that they are victims, she has to accept that she was a victim as well. I think Colleen is the same.
@@cl5470 She stated that she has been diagnosed with a personality disorder? Where did she say this, and when did she say she was molested as a child?
I think her books are way more damaging to her image than anything else. Thank you for sharing.
It’s how predators desensitize children, they show them bad stuff to make it seem normal, she’s grooming the kids that read these
When I was a kid I thought I killed a cat and I lived with that guilt for over a decade before finding out that I did not in fact kill that cat
I would never go on video and laugh about actually definitely getting a dog put down
She's unbelievable
I was absolutely *devastated* for hurting a chipmunk when it was trying to get into my room. 😭
How are people so disgusting, laughing over a dog being put down?!
I'm still pretty torn up about a bird I hit with my car years ago even though it pretty much jumped into my tire. I don't understand people like colleen
me when i had to use a broom to shoo away a mouse that got in my house... damn those little eyes. if that little thing didnt spread diseased id keep him LOL
when i was 6 i was really scared i accidentally hurt a grasshopper, the grasshopper was perfectly fine but from then on i had a fear of dead bugs and i only recently got over my fear of touching grasshoppers. maybe it was a good trauma, because it made me be extremely gentle with bugs, i love bugs so much
We do understand that Miranda IS the real Colleen, right? She's admitted it.
This is so sad because this concept could be great if she was actually a funny person. For example, Weird Al Yankovic released a scrapbook-type satirical autobiography in 1985 and it's hilarious. His brand of humor totally works with this format. Colleen's humor, on the other hand, is just so shallow and try-hard and caters to no one (like you've said, aimed at kids but too inappropriate for them, appropriate for adults but would be too immature for them, so viciously uncool that teenagers wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole). Her awful behavior aside, it is just wild that she managed to have the career that she has.
I could barely get through this video 💀 if i was a parent i would be absolutely horrified to find out that my kid as been taking in content like this
Does Colleen have custody of her children? Because between this sex pest behavior and the fixation on animal abuse I'm starting to think she shouldn't.
She posts them on her yt
Right? Someone needs to call CPS on her.
She does. But from what I gather, she doesn't actually spend a lot of time around them. Her husband, mom and live-in nanny all watch her kids more than her.
@@entransifysame word, adding she and lady and "tress" to stuff just cements that the default is men
@@leahdavis9434What?
I don't understand how people casually talk about their childhood pets they killed and laugh about it. I don't care if they're 'coping'.
I accidentally started a house fire when I was a baby because I knocked a candle over. Whenever I talk about that story I leave out the part where our 2 cats died because I hate even thinking about that. I still feel guilty about that, I definitely don't laugh about it.
I'm very sorry that happened, hope you are ok and forgive yourself in the future
Oh my, I'm so sorry ❤ but obviously you know it wasn't your fault at all. You're still a wonderful person ❤ you don't deserve to hold on to that sadness
i'm so sorry that happened :( your cats are meowing (i'd say smile but do cats smile?) down at you from above
Because in your case it was an accident. Some people (mostly psychopaths) actually enjoy hurting and killing animals or even other people.
It wasn’t your fault, you shouldn’t have been put near a lit candle.
100% re: the spew that comes out when you put these people in front of a mic.
It’s wild to me that people tell stories about hurting or killing animals in a way that’s not completely distressed or filled with remorse. Even if they’re hearts are so hard that they don’t care… surely they realise the optics are bad.
The fact that she jokes about animal abuse and has actually abused her pet makes me concerned the uncle “jokes” are more than just jokes.
And then in her apology video she called herself the "weird aunt" 👀
@@kiwikrgThe video was never an apology video in the first place, it was a denial video, which is even worse.
So if you only recently knew about the dog does that mean that you don't know the things involving cats. There is the time that Miranda put her cat into a paper bag and closed it so that the cat needed to claw its way out so that it could be 'born' like a hatchimal. There is also the time that Colleen was out and saw a missing cat poster and then saw the dead cat on the road and filmed it saying that they found the missing cat.
WHAT
@@puffinatheart5565 Yeah they are clips that were showing up in videos of people talking about how problematic Colleen/Miranda is.
Such disgusting behavior. This & everything else.
She's a psychopath
It bothers me so much when I read the ratings on Goodreads. What the hell is wrong with some parents!? How can they not see a problem with any of this???
i've never watched miranda but i did watch her vlogs for a few years before all this went down and i was made aware of all this situation, she's talked at length about going to a Christian college and being raised so Christian that she wasn't even allowed to celebrate Halloween as a child. she's mentioned also being molested or assaulted by someone from church or her family but never gone into it in debth, you can obviously tell shes a deeply deeply troubled woman and needs some serious therapy. like i get making jokes at your own trauma to cope, that's one thing but what she's doing is so insanely different to that. she needs help.
“This book makes me wanna be on drugs again.” Girl. I felt that 😂
If any adult bought this book for themselves they need to be put under surveillance
There's also multiple videos of her abusing her cat as a full grown adult which includes petting them very hard, dropping them hard onto the floor and the worst one that even though it was blurred (I watched it from one of Adam's videoes) I still had to look away because she put her cat in a brown paper bag held it tightly shut and made her cat try to scratch their way out and it felt like it lasted forever just hearing a cat try to fight for their life
The hurting animals bit is literally what serial killers often do as kids. Red flags everywhere.
“What is it with everyone on this platform, who is also gross, always thinking I wanna hear about their little floor-grippers? Leave me alone”
Lmaooooo
No, you were right, the Christianity thing is very important. CoBa exhibits a lot of American Christian fundamentalist ideology in her content, especially as it relates to purity culture and the sexualization of young girls, the normalization of family CSA, and some other stuff I noticed in your last video that I can't remember off the top of my head
Honestly, I think she knew what she was doing in all of this. She knew what she was doing in making this for kids.
PS: Please don't call her autistic. Please don't. I do not believe she has that.
The whole Miranda character is so damn ableist :|
I believe the Miranda character is based in part on her autistic brother. Colleen herself claims she was recently diagnosed with ADHD.
Hurting/killing animals and taking pleasure/pride/humor from it from a young age is a known indicator of having antisocial personality disorder js 😶
(To be clear- not all people with aspd hurt animals or other people! It's just a trait that is well known)
it's also one of the strongest indicators of a future serial killer. Not that people with aspd are born serial killers; they, like with any disorder, are far more likely to be victims than victimizers. Anyhow, all this to say, if her public facing career had never taken off, in an alternate universe she's got a half dozen true crime documentaries about her
The main thing I took away from the dog story is that she has been a horrible person since a child and that she has lied and not taken accountability that early as well.
There’s a computer game commonly played in grade school in the US called Oregon Trail about an actual historical migration of people across the US and a funny way of dieing in the game is “of dysentery”.
Why do I actually remember playing this game but it’s like distant glimpse into the pass why did we need to know that much about this trail 😭
@@Naiya77_7its on the internet archive too. Maybe you can go down the trail of memories too
My daughter is about to turn 8 and she doesn't write like this.... So it scares me what age she's targeted at...
I accidentally killed a mouse when I was 13. I cried for weeks and moreso when family members joked about it. I can't imagine being so heartless.
I can explain the Organ (Oregon) Trail joke (i.e. "I died of dysentery"), there was a computer game in the US back in the '80s and '90s called Oregon Trail where you traveled the eponymous trail from I think somewhere in Missouri(?) to, well, Oregon, via covered wagon in like 1849ish. There were often long stretches between towns and settlements during which any of your party/family members, including yourself, could get sick and potentially die, and dysentery was quite common (or infamous enough that it seemed common) to die from in that game, with the message on-screen when you succumbed to it being "You/[Party member] have/has died of dysentery."
Idk if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Oregon Trail was a computer game and one of the ways you could die was dysentery. It's become a meme.
Honestly, as someone who's a survivor of evangelical christianity, I'm really not all that shocked tgat Colleen is/was likely some version of christian. Abuse is rampant in US christianity, and the oppressive, shame-driven purity culture really screws up how you view and exist in the world. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Miranda, besides being an ableist caricature, was Colleen's attempt at trying to work through her childhood/experiences before youtube gone off the deep end.
Not that any of this is an appropriate way to do it, or a good attempt at it, but I could see it.
Colleen is a Christian. I used to watch her videos when I was a kid and especially in miranda videos she mentions jesus and god a lot so miranda is definitely very religious im not sure about how much colleen is tho
@@Raya-ir4tmThere's absolutely an argument that she's perpetuating purity culture. Children being taught that certain behaviors will make them slutty is a shitty belief that comes from purity culture.
@@Raya-ir4tm what argument am I starting??? Im not disagreeing with the person I'm just informing them that they are right and colleen is in fact Christian or atleast she was in the past
Makes you realise how harmful Gwen and Tim's parenting was...
It’s absolutely vital to understand where abusers come from to help stop the cycle.
No you’re 100 percent right. Colleen HAS SAID in the past that she uses Miranda to say the shit she wants to say as herself, without her as Colleen getting in trouble. Also, she grew up strict Christian and homeschooled so that was correct too.
colleen was raised SUPER religious... like the extra scary kind.
She proves in her own book, from the fan art section, that her fans are 6-13 year olds...
😨6??
16:45 !!!
The Oregon Trail is a computer game played primarily in the 2000’s in the US. I remember going to the “computer lab” in elementary school, giving my “family” the weirdest names I could think of, then selling all of my possessions and killing my “family” by exposure or snakebite or disease lol 💀
Very much like how many of us would kill our Sims by giving them a pool and taking the ladder out after they get in
Would definitely recommend - very nostalgic 10/10
The first game version of Oregon Trail was text-based and written in 1971; the first graphical version was published in 1985. It might’ve been less widely distributed but it was big in the 80s and 90s too.
I haven’t heard the word “tuckee” since I was a very small child & the word makes me extremely uncomfortable.
Colleen Ballinger wrote two books?? TWO?? BOOKS?? “Wrote” two “books”???
She grew up in a strict Christian family and was homeschooled until high school. She has said in interviews that Miranda does say what she can’t say. I don’t think she is religious anymore but one of brothers has a family RUclips channels and he and his wife have a ton of children and homeschool them because they are super Christian.
I am curious if the uncle is based on someone from her youth as well.
The “dying of dysentery” on the Oregon Trail is actually a pretty funny reference, and one that was common on the internet 10ish years ago because it was a game a LOT of us played in school to learn about the actual Oregon Trail and that was a comically easy way to die in the game. It does again bring up the question of WHO this book is for though- I doubt anyone under 20 would have any idea where that joke came from.
"This weirdo is better than me in all the ways that matter". I felt that one in my soul, I recently met someone that made me think the same, it was crushing :/
ik not preying on children is the bare minimum but honestly if somebody produced more media than you and preyed on children meanwhile youve done none of that , yea you are better than that weirdo in the ways that matter .
I've been going down the rabbit hole and I can say for sure that you're right about Miranda. Colleen herself said that she was based on herself in her teenage years if she'd never matured.
With that perspective, I gotta say that her apology video is a lot less surprising...
At 20:08, the camel toe "fan art" from Kory is Colleen's assistant and friend Kory Desoto, which makes this all even creepier. I Googled his name and he shows up under Upland, CA.
The Oregon Trail bit was kinda funny (the dying of dysentery, not stalking and breaking into someone's home), not intelligently so, but I had to play the game as a kid so it brought back memories.
I'm impressed by your determination to put up with Coba. I would have given up years ago
So happy to see more and more Alizee book content coming out recently, let's goooo
I honestly can’t understand how something like this could get published . Just listening to alizee read parts of it makes me so mad and disgusted that this shit is aimed towards kids .
Killing and torturing animals is one of the first signs of being a sociopath
I grew up being told Fanny meant butt. We were not allowed to say butt so we could only say Fanny.
I used to watch her 'psycho soprano' channel a bit years ago, and she often talked about her very Christian upbringing and how she went to a Christian college where she met kory. She had a video where they talked about how he came out to her and that he was really nervous because he knew her whole family were quite homophobic but they embraced it about him with open arms...... but, ya know, old habits die hard....
Im autistic. Ive always felt like she was making fun of people like me.
yeah the modelling jokes were about pimping her out, i feel like, so there ARE creepy uncle jokes in this book too.
p.s. my mom is a minion meme mom and she would hate this. it is truly for no one
the lightning speed with which i clicked on this video? unprecedented
So much content! I feel spoiled 😂, don’t burn out Alizee lol
I was bit in the face by a dog when I was ten. The owners had given me permission (they were talking to my parents when it happened), the dog showed no outward aggression and I was just patting the side of its belly (the dog was old so I think I may have accidentally touched a sore patch). Despite it not being my fault, I told the owners and my parents that I had tried to pick the dog up and that is why it bit me, because I didn't want the dog to be put down. I can't imagine WANTING a dog to be put down. Absolutely vile.
i bought this book as a kid, and i was disgusted. I didn't even finish it and hid it from my parents. Wanna burn it now
Based on what I’ve seen of Colleen’s books, if I had read them as a child they would have made me severely uncomfortable. To be fair, I was a very sensitive child, but these would have really bothered me for a good while after reading them
You discussing this horrible “book” (more like inner thoughts of a POS child groomer) is what makes it bearable to listen to. I can’t believe she got away with this. My kids didn’t watch her but they said when they were about 10 all of their friends did… so freakin’ scary that up until now I thought she was 💯 for kids… well she is but not in a good way. I can’t believe I had no idea..
I've never heard someone refer to feet and "floor grippers". I think I love it.
I like it, but it more makes me think of hospital-issued grippy socks
@@pringlebatch True. but I've been in the hospital so many times, that doesn't phase me.
16:56 !!! She’s making a reference to the video game by the same name “The Oregon Trail” it’s an educational game based off the pioneer life on the actual oregon trail. dying of dysentery was common in the game and kinda became an inside joke/meme by the fans.
I cry if i accidentally step on my cat's tail. How do you have a nostalgic laugh about being the reason your dog was put down?
I also hate when videos pop up on Shorts that are of people intentionally scaring their pets. They laugh hysterically after terrifying an animal they're supposed to love and take care of. You can't say to a cat "it's just a prank, bro!" They don't understand why you did that to them.
"Kory, age 25" is her best friend Kory! The dude with the group chat called "Kory's Klit (tm)"!!! 😬😬😬😬😬
Seriously! When I saw Adam McIntyre talking about that group chat name Kory used with minors, I was kinda shocked. Always got creeper vibes from him. He lived/lives with Colleen, Erik, & the babies. Along with dogs, cats, & chickens.
@@wearelegion1163 yeah. He still lives with them. And her mom and a nanny live with them as well.
The THX sound (aka the Deep Note) was used because it primed the audience to believe that the sound engineering was revolutionary. The THX logo debuted in 1984 before Return of the Jedi when movies were becoming more commonly seen as an extremely profitable industry and more entertainment rather than art. Theaters were starting to invest in higher quality speaker systems, so THX developed a sound logo to showcase it. The sound starts off quiet in a small range of frequencies and becomes a muddled mess as each tone goes towards it's end destination. It crescendos up to the final chord, and the chord itself has an auditory illusion of sounding louder than it actually is due to a bunch of harmonics and other stuff. Essentially it started as a crappy miniscule sound, becomes a random mess, and then punches the audience into the future with a loud resolving chord that was never before heard or felt in theaters before. It was meant to showcase that you were witnessing the future of sound design in movies.
Fun fact: THX actually lost the original recording a few months after the first time it was used. Because the creator, James A. Moorer, had used a randomized path for the notes to take to get to the final tone, they couldn't recreate it properly. They tried over and over but none of the iterations had the same feel to the original. Eventually someone found a recording of it and after hearing it again, everyone agreed that it was irreplaceable.
Colleen Ballinger is a person where I want to take her brain apart to see why she makes the decisions she does. Tbh theres a subset of people in the US that 100% believe that they are the only important beings on the planet. The type of people that can excuse crimes against fellow humans and defenseless animals because its not happening to them lol. No offense to anyone, but sometimes a bit of suffering can be healthy for people to have at some point in their lives.
In the US????? Do you think sociopathy is exclusive to Americans???
And this woman has children. I’m now wondering what the heck goes on in her house
I would not call yourself less successful so readily. I doubt she writes all of this on her own. Even if she does do it all herself, it is terrible. This is no Crime & Punishment.- Although she is having to face her crimes but trying to avoid punishment. She can sing well, but as for genuine talent? No, I wouldn’t call her genuinely talented. She has some objective talent- like her singing skill again. But artistically she doesn’t make anything will any value whatsoever. Thus I would not call het talented ultimately. Well except she sure has a great ol’ talent at grooming…. Her cats!
Okay. So…. That darn poop picture reminded me of a comic book my friend and I made in middle school….. but like we were 11, and Colleen is a full ass grown adult. I look back on that stuff and think it’s embarrassing but apparently…. I could’ve had a best seller on my hands 😂
Just like John Boy Walton.
"I remember that fateful day on Walton's Mountain, when I made a poop, I showed it to Grandpa, and he told me that, he never saw one quite that big, in all his days, living on Walton's Mountain."
Oregon Trail was the original Dark Souls experience. It was a hard-as-fuck educational computer game in which you played as a group of people in the eastern United States (during the era in which the country was expanding westward) trying to get to Oregon for the perceived opportunity at a better life. Dying of dysentery was a common death. There were many other sources of death in the game. For example, some of your party members could get lost in the woods, someone could die if you attempted to ford a stream, party members could die of frostbite or eating meat that wasn't properly prepared. Sometimes, someone in the party would just fall ill and die for no discernible reason. There was just so much stuff that could kill your party that was out of your control that reaching Oregon and finishing the game felt like a matter of pure luck.
If you ever get the chance, try it.
14:07 Finally, a fragment that presumably comes from the author's heart and best describes what everything is really about: having an excuse to make one's mark at the expense of others. Constantly.
You know what all of this dead animal stuff reminds me of?? Serial killer behavior.
As someone who loves listening to podcasts about serial killers and the like the pattern most of us notice is that killing or torturing animals at an early age is a sign of something bigger.
there was a sticker saying "all wet!" on the poo page.....
Magi-Chan? She's part of the Sonichu universe now?! How could this possibly get any worse?
Her making these books is unforgiveable
she gets worse and worse every single day 😭.
Loving all the new content lately- thank you for suffering through this for us ❤
The idea that people find dead animals funny hurts my heart. I think introducing kids to animals is a great way to build compassion. Even the death of a beloved pet could at least be a safer opportunity to process grief and mourning at a young age.
I grew up with many different animals in my life, and while the pain of losing an animal is harsh, I think it's also helped me appreciate all the little moments I've had with those animals. All of my pets have shorter lifespans than my own, but that just means I should make sure they're happy and appreciated now.
1:10 Oh no, she referenced Magichan (Sonichu).
I HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF THE THX SOUND IN YEARS
I think the reason it makes me laugh so much today, is because it's referenced in Over the Hedge.
watched so many of your videos my internal monologue is your voice. HELP! lol
she is the kind of person who thinks edgy = funny and cool. Like she wants us to think that she is so fucked up and weird. But at the end she is just pathetic and sad. No idea how she could even not being cancelled for these books already. This is so messed up that we let that slip through unfortunately
Knowing what the THX sound is while listening to you talk about it was so fucking funny lmao
She really wants to normalize her assault on the psyche of children.
Like Bundy, Colleen has a facade, that she uses to operate alongside normal society. She knows how to seem like a nice person to those who don't look into her eyes and see pure evil.
Hurting animals is 🚩🚩🚩 red flag.
Colleen is exposing her thoughts as a child psychopath in those books.
A creepy uncle (or aunt) who is clearly a pedophile isn't a joke.
Children shouldn't be normalized to the idea of it either.
People call her out for harming other living things, and she quickly spins her wrong behaviors, calling them 'mistakes,' as if it was a typo.
What she calls 'mistakes we all make,' are crimes, or purposeful harm to others. Her 'mistakes' aren't things normal people 'mistakenly ' do, but she has no intention of changing, and she viciously🐍 makes that clear on the ukulele.
She hates people who stand up for her victims.
She has survived by getting her young cult members to attack anyone who criticizes her. She likes overpowering children and animals and then degrading and controlling them.
She's mean. She enjoys being mean.
There is one train that has arrived at the station or left the station, her insanity to unstable station
Considering how someone got in trouble for posting their own baby picture because it still counts as csem/cp, if that is in fact an image of her not wearing anything (perhaps even if it’s edited) I’d guess that would apply to this as well.
I don’t know if anyone’s said it yet but the THX sound was originally used to show the range of audio in the theatre (or at least that’s what I heard LOL)
When I saw the blurred image of the little girl not even 3 minutes in I was so disturbed. How did this fly under the radar for so long?? All these "jokes" about hurting animals and s*xualizing children were just gigantic red flags.
The animal abuse--spoken so happily by these people--is GODDAMN GROSS. X3x
If I had done something so horrible i don't think I'd recount it as anything other than a 'PLEASE FUCKING teach your kids how to handle animals before leaving them alone with one' type cautionary tale and it's only cuz I'd feel SO damn guilty. X3x
13:17 Not sure if anyone has commented this or not, but I've always heard that the THX sound existed because it was a way to check the sounds in a movie theater (hence, why it starts at a very low tone and goes rather high pitched). If there was a "gap" in the sound, that would mean something was probably wrong with the speakers in the theater.
