The blight of Blyton

by Emsbabee @ 2007-05-11 - 13:57:55

Enid Blyton - The real Queen of England. She who taught a nation of children how to fight crimes, solve mysteries, and be racist, sexist, pompous and interfering. Valuable lessons for innocent minds to learn. But I've recently spotted something even more sinister going on.

Some of the titles of her books could easily be mistaken for low-budget, amateur porn. Whether this is deliberate or not is a subject for debate, but subliminal or not, I think the following evidence speaks for itself.

Exhibit One: The Mr Twiddle Series

1942 - Hello Mr Twiddle!

Alright, so this one is fairly innocuous. Although you can't help but wonder what a man with a name like Twiddle might do for a living?

1949 - Don't Be Silly Mr Twiddle

Slightly more suspicious. What could the nature of this silliness possibly be?

1953 - Well Really Mr Twiddle!

Mr Twiddle has clearly been caught doing something he shouldn't, perhaps with the babysitter?

Exhibit Two: The Mr Pink-Whistle Series

1939 - The Adventures of Mr Pink-Whistle

Now, what on earth could Enid be referring to here?

1949 - Mr Pink-Whistle interferes

And is subsequently arrested?

1955 - Mr Pink-Whistle's party

A whole lotta shakin' going on...

Exhibit 3: Miscellaenous

1943 - Dame Slap and her School

Of tough love no doubt

1949 - Bumpy and his Bus

Climb aboard ladies!

1949 - Rubbalong Tales

?!?

This is no place for children.
