When Pinocchio ran away, Geppetto was sad for a couple of days, but then pulled himself together by going into his workshop and building a little puppet he named Internet, who just like all of Geppetto’s puppets, dreamed of becoming a real boy that could grow up and march in peace rallies, except that Internet’s dream was shattered when he realized that the picket sign he’d so carefully written with his real-boy hands kept turning into an advertisement for bigger penises, causing the other protesters to boo and hiss and throw rocks at him, which Internet found not only ironic, but painful.

Wait a minute! Hold the presses! I just realized that Pinocchio’s nose is really a phallus. (I’m 40 years old and I just realize this now?) All along Geppetto’s “real boys” have been lying their way into our children’s psyches. And it is only now, Keith, when you tied Internet to his father that this all became clear to me.
