Aug 8 2021

Following the recent controversy surrounding certain WhatsApp messages and comments made towards Labour voters, Justice Minister Edward Zammit Lewis has issued a statement regarding another ongoing issue within the Eighth District.

The Minister reported that a leaflet with a fraudulent signature of his own is being distributed within the district and categorically denied his and his team’s involvement in the distribution of such a leaflet, calling it an ‘organised campaign of political assassination’.

Għadni kemm ġejt infurmat li hemm fuljett qarrieqi li qiegħed jintbagħat fuq it-Tmien 8 Distrett, liema fuljett jidher…

6 dark cartoon theories to blow your mind

Aug 7 2021

If the Pixar Theory didn’t ruin your childhood enough, here are 6 more concepts about cartoons which are the stuff of pure nightmares…

Spongebob Squarepants is set in a nuclear wasteland

This one states that Bikini Bottom, the humble abode of many characters such as Spongebob, Patrick Star and Squidward Tetnacles, is the result of nuclear fallout from above the sea. This is why the sea creatures can talk, create complex societies and engage in all sorts of shenanigans.

Ed, Edd n’ Eddy is set in Purgatory

This one is where it starts to get officially horrific. All the characters from Ed, Edd n’ Eddy seem to come from a different period of time – Johnny and Rolf seem to be ripped straight out of the 1940s, whereas Kevin hails from the 90s and Naz rocks a 60s vibe. The theory states that the teens are all dead and in purgatory, stuck in ground-zero with no way to interact but through the lifestyle they’re use to.

Winnie the Pooh and Mental Health

Fans really went all out with this one as Christopher Robin, the human character of Winnie the Pooh, is stated to be suffering from Schizophrenia. All the other animal characters are simply personalities in his imagination, each representing mental illnesses. Piglet represents anxiety, Tigger portrays ADHD, Rabbit has OCD and Winnie suffers from an eating disorder.

Scooby-Doo is set during an economic depression

We will never hear the phrase ‘If it wasn’t for those meddling kids’ the same ever again. This theory states that the world is suffering economically and this is why many people have hoarded their treasures and decided to dress up as monsters in a dystopian future to scare away intruders. The Mystery Gang simply come from a well-off family and go around ruining poor people’s hopes for economic stability.

The Flintstones and the Jetsons exist simultaneously

The two Hanna-Barbera shows are said to be existing in the same timeline – one is a privileged, upper class society with mind-boggling technology whilst the Flintstones are the poor, un-advanced people living as if in the Stone Age. The animals too are synthetic creations, which would explain why characters speak to them.

Danny Phantom and Timmy Turner are the same person

These two shows were created by the same person – but fans dug even deeper. They came up with an idea wherein Timmy, about to lose his parents as he grows up, makes one final wish. He changes his reality into one where he gains superpowers to keep his life interesting, with the Fairy World turning into the Ghost Zone. Some characters even show traits of other characters from the same TV show.
