What? Are you serious? You expect me to sit around and wait for some guy to come and save me? I’m going to law school in August and as soon as I’m out of this dump I’m reporting my stepsisters and stepmother to the police for harassment and slave labour.

Copy & paste this:


You go girl!
I was thinking the same! haha
Not surprising. Welcome to 20 years ago.
sweetie, this movie came out in the 50s
sweetie, I was referring to the “you go girl” comment. Nice try.
amen to that!
Very cute LoL… I like it.
but listen: “you go girl”
but WHERE is she going???????
TLDR
Wow. Let’s talk lazy.
Wtf, the caption is covering up almost half the picture and it isn’t even funny. People have forgotten the good ol’ days when a caption used to be not more than 5 words and those were the most LoLworthy.
FAIL
this is most certainly full of fail. not even remotely funny…almost to the point of being, well, completely pointless O.o
EPIC FAIL
WORST LOL EVER
RUBBISH
AWFUL
UNFUNNY
There are no amount of adjectives and superlatives that can describe the total useleness of this lol.
By the way, I didn’t like it.
lol I agree.
People who don’t understand this caption are just men.
That’s how I like cinderella
Now, now, let’s not be fighting sexism with more sexism.
amen to that
Law school is a different kind of drudgery…the kind you pay to have the privilege of.
Oh yes, you are SO right.
More like, “I just posed nude for Playboy and the check just cleared in the bank.”
hear hear
You go sister! Fight the power! Don’t let the man tell you who you are, you fight tooth and nail to make your own story!
umm for all of the obvious feminist bra burners, lets remember it wasnt “the man” that was doing this to her. it was women.
You’re dealing with females… did you expect logic?
EPIC FAIL
But men did said Cinderella was the way to be for women: expect for a man to save you.
Yeah, this is about women saving themselves and not having to marry their way out of problems, which was sadly the case back in Cinderella’s day. Oy.
And FYI, feminists never burned bras.
I for one just never wore one to begin with.
Lucky you! The patriarchy got me too self conscious to go without
The patriarchy was it for you? It was gravity for me
No one is blaming men. There are a lot of co dependent women out there who want to control and be controlled. Get a backbone!
What most commentors seem to be forgetting is that this cap emphesizes the ‘sitting around waiting for a man’-portion.
I think it’s funny and not full of fail – the comments which draw this into your typical men vs. women discussion however, ARE fail.
Absolutely right!
As stupefyingly pretty as Ella was, she could basically have gotten anything she wanted by just batting those plush eyelashes at the first single man that happened by the house. She was by a considerable longshot the prettiest of the Disney princesses. Says the guy who judges the pulchritude of drawings.
No way, Sleeping Beauty was the prettiest of the Disney princesses. Her hair was so epic I’m still jealous of it.
Bah, Aurora’s too skinny ; )
No no no … Belle is the best – and look who she had arguments with!!!
I vote jasmine cause dark hair and sassy behavior is FTW.
I vote Mulan. When the effluent hits the turbine, I want a skilled, quick-thinking swordswoman on my side.
If you want a Cinderella movie where she can save herself, watch Drew Barrymore in “Ever After.” My favorite Cinderella version.
I saw that when it came out in theaters. When Danielle punched her stepsister, I think just about everyone burst into applause, my dad included. And if they didn’t clap, they laughed. ^n_n^
I loved the end when the Prince came for her. I won’t spoil it… but their exchange was epic win.
i totally remember that in the theaters when i watched it too!!!!
I normally hate romance movies (including “romantic” “comedies”), but I LOVE “Ever After.”
i totally lol’ed when I saw this.
The caption fails to be humorous, and furthermore assumes that the type of schooling and authorities existed in the setting that would match our modern-day equivalent. While the cartoon did not say that they did not, the actions of the characters and setting drawings were of medieval fantasy. Therefore, we could assume that magical creatures such as unicorns and elves might be present, but I doubt that the local guard (“police”) would arrest the head of the household for making someone do work such as scrubbing the floor. Females in such a setting could not attend school (I suppose in the Harry Potter world things are different, but this movie was obviously not the same type of fantasy, and even if it was, Cinderella would have to possess some type of magical powers, which I am almost certain she did not). Her looks being her most valuable asset, she was wise to use them to seduce her prince and make use of his wealth for herself, as many women do in modern times. In a way, you could say she was ahead of her time.
J.S. – Take yourself seriously much?
Have you ever SEEN the movie “Cinderella” or actually read the story? No unicorns. No elves. Cinderella didn’t possess any magical powers. That was entirely her fairy godmother’s ability: to transform an overworked, downtrodden young woman into a beautiful lady with only a new dress, hairstyle, and some killer shoes.
The JOKE is the juxtaposition of medieval story, with modern outcome. Irony, in other words. A delicate distinction, but there.
And Cinderella wasn’t “ahead of her time” at all. Sadly, completely in synch with her times, and too often even with ours. Her story wasn’t a “Medieval fantasy” it was a morality play, the moral of which was work hard, be kind to other people and dumb animals (the talking animals were a Disney adaption), believe in miracles, and when you do place yourself in the path of the prince and gate-crash the ball, be sure to leave a distinctive calling-card (glass slipper) so he can find you again afterwards.
All the hurrahs are for a modern Cindy who can make her own life wonderful, without having to depend on an advantageous marriage to climb the ladder of society and escape poverty and drudgery. Access to education does that, for men as well as women.
WOW.
Turn off the computer now, and go outside.
The point.
Your head.
And men can act like cavemen if they like, just like women can act like they don’t want us all they like.
Yeah. Heh. “Act”.
I love how (assumed) women who loved this are called “feminist bra-burners”.
I like my women strong. Women who have the ability to improve their lives through their own means make better mothers, wives, citizens and human beings.
the only men who think this is USELESS and UNFUNNY are men who are scared of women.
kinda like that “fitness-center shoot-up” guy. weird.
Its funny in a horribly sad way because she couldn’t improve her life without depending on a man. A fairy tale yes but a woman was owned by her family until she got married off back then. Thats the thing, Cinderella with a modern twist.
No, it is simply not that funny. Apart from being far too long, It is obvious and somewhat trite – yes, women don’t have to do the housework, I believe that was an issue in the 60′s – we get it
The fact that you agree with the philosophy of the caption does not make it any more or less amusing – as to your implication that if you do not find this hilarious you secretly wish to murder women – and you wonder why feminist are not taken seriously??
Wow. this is a fairy tale designed back in the “good ‘ol days” to give drudgery hope, the only hope they had before our wonderful freedom (i get so sick of people STILL whining about disadvantages in American society). Of course, the Grimm’s version was much better where the stepsisters cut off their heel and toes to fit in the shoe and the people noticed the shoe filling with blood. And when Cinderella stabs their eyes out when she becomes queen. So, Disney did modernize it!
Anyhew, I have a BFA AND I found my prince. He’s not rich or anything, but he’s great!
Ruckedigu, Blut ist am Schuh!
I was really glad to see this picture up here. The gender politics here and on Pundit Kitchen make me very sad sometimes… =O
Agreed.
Aw, man! What a way to ruin one of my favorite movies.
Picture + caption = WIN!
You go girl!
LexiconLuthor has it right. Thumbs up!
E P I C F A I L
Why the hell would she want to be a lawyer?
Oh, I don’t know. Independence, status, $$$$$. Perhaps challenging work that might do some good in the world. Ask our new Associate Justice of the Supreme Court what law school did for her.
You can substitute med school, engineering school, etc. etc. as your heart desires. The answer’s the same.
Have you actually *seen* the movie? I don’t think you have because that’s the whole point! Young woman overcomes adversity and achieves her dream. In her case it is marrying the Prince and living happily ever after, but it is a metaphor for just about anything in life.
Now, back to the subject. You entirely missed the the point of my LOL. It was a lawyer joke: Beautiful young girl aspires to become money-grubbing dirtbag lawyer so she can sue people who offended her in the past. Yeah, right. Nothing like living in the past. . .
lol foo i didn’t even think of that interpretation. from that angle it is much funnier than the battle of the sexes bs that’s haunted this discussion.
screw “the dreams that you wish will come true!”
WIN!
Whoo! That’s what I wanted to see!
How the hell was Cinderella going to get into law school? She had no money and was never allowed to leave the house. Because of women.
Well if we’re going to get technical she wouldn’t have been able to get into law school anyway because she was a woman.
Awesome.
Now figure out how to start asking men out.
Love it!
Great Caption!!!
What I don’t understand is, a magic fairy godmother appears in her backyard. She, a girl who is being basically abused by her family, wishes for…a dress. And some pretty shoes. And a magic pumpkin mobile. When, the whole time, she could have wished her way out of that mess. I like the Ella Enchanted version, better, myself (not the movie, the movie was horrid).
Well, we can be thankful that she was not completely downtrodden and broken by her sisters – she could have wished for a better broom to make the housework easier
I always thought this LOL was a dig at Twilight but then it does seem like nearly everyone here hates it and makes fun of it anyway. I thought the fact she was going to go and have a career and kick some major butt suing people and getting rich was poking fun at the fact Bella has no ambition, doesnt care about her future and all she wants in life is Edward. Yeah… see how far that gets you, honey. Maybe it’s how my mother brought me up, making me wonder where the money is supposed to be coming from and who is going to be responsible for the mortgage and who signs what legally. If it wasn’t for the fact Meyer pretends the real world doesnt exist Bella would be working as a waitress for 12 hours a day because she doesnt care enough about school or university, and she’d desperately rely on her tips to live as Edward cant work due to sparkling. Then of course there’s taxes, and insurance to pay on the car and house, and then bills for gas and electricity, new clothing, phone bills, medical insurance, more taxes… oh wait, its ok, Carlisle Cullen is rich. Phew! That saves those ridiculous plot holes!
You know I read somewhere to be wary of what Disney Princesses your daughter adores. If she likes Mulan for example then she’ll be strong minded, if she likes Cinderella or Snow White then she is far more likely to be a victim of domestic abuse when she’s older. Submissive female role models… like lame ass Bella. “No officer! Don’t arrest him! It’s true love!”
According to Meyer, Bella does attend college after the big battle in “Breaking Dawn”…also, she wouldn’t need medical insurance b/c she’s a vampire..
I think if you teach your kids the difference between fantasy & reality that they’ll be ok.
LOL sure… did she say that before it was pointed out to her that Bella is an empty shell with no ambition besides Edward or after?
And yes fantasy is one thing, but you can see Pride and Prejudice as a romantic fantasy, Lord of the Rings is a fantasy, and the author still acknowledges the fact there’s a reality. I just think if you’re supposed to be guiding a new generation of young women you would be more responsible in the messages you send out.
If you’re depending on authors to “guide a new generation of young women” you’re definitely depending on the wrong people
Well I would think authors like JK Rowling etc would be better role models for women than the multitude of anorexic vain air heads that Hollywood offers. You pick up most newspapers or magazines and you’re assaulted with pointless news stories about people like Paris Hilton. So you encourage your kids to read books, tell them about people like Marie Curie and Rosa Parks. Most only care about the popular thing, and that’s not always good for the next generation.
That was kinda my point. It’s up to the kid’s parents to set the kid right. Not book authors.
Yeah but what teenage girl really listens to their parents? No, they want the popular thing, the cool thing. The popular cool thing right now? Twilight. Author of Twilight? Meyer. I would hope someone in that position would realise how influential they could be rather than just profiting on fantasies.
Not all teen girls are alike, thanks.
And for those that are, they’ll grow out of it.
You’d think they grow out of it. They don’t. They just buy a lot of shoes and say things like, “I hope Obama doesnt get shot like how they shot the first black president.” You can take twenty minutes to explain the civil rights movement and Martin Luthor King to them but why? They’re too busy reading about Robert Pattinson or Paris Hilton to listen anyway
Oh no no no, wrong. This is the worst case of generalizing I’ve seen. I really hope you’re not refering to all teenage girls, but if you are. I beg to differ.
I’m a teenage girl and I do NOT read Twilight, I read Stephen King; I do NOT just want the popular, cool things, in fact I strive not to get pulled into the hype and I do NOT read about Paris Hilton. Please just think about that when you’re telling people we’re all the same, immature Twihards.
Lolwhut. Logic fail. Books and writing in general are supposed to be inspiring, as a matter of fact. Do you have any idea how many girls’ young minds Meyer has poisoned by making their life’s ambition to “be Bella Swan”? If you ask any rabid Twilight fan out there what they want to do with their life, they will most likely say “MOVE TO FORKS, WASHINGTON!!1!!1!!~~!11″ or “BECOME A VAMPIRE!1!!!1“1112!!!” It’s sad and ridiculous. Besides, who would you rather they look up to? Smiley Virus; pole-dancing wonder?
I think you’ve totally misread this conversation and the fail is on you. Some books are inspiring, some are historical, some are just escapism.
If your mind is “poisoned” by a fictional story about vampires who go to high school & sparkle in the sun…then something was wrong with you *before* those books came along
Even so, the question still remains: who would you rather they looked up to?
Please, she’s a woman. It’s her job to do that stuff! (lol jks please no flames)
wow its a lol you dont have to pick it to pieces you read lol over it but who the **** thinks this hard about a caption! turn off your computer and go out side!
hey you stole my pick!
anyway go cindy fight the power~!
wait never mind bout the stolen pic thing glich
