Upon entering Pleasure Island... in the film a wonderful place where underage boys go to drink alcohol, eat candy, smoke until they vomit, shoot pool, act out all their violent impulses, and engage in homoerotic bonding... you discover a place that is scarily faithful (with the exception being the presence of Honest John and that retarded cat, seen to your right) to the film version! You pass Tobacco Row, a fantastic wonderville adorned with big wooden indians, and you pass The Rough House, where smelly stupid little males go to beat the shit out of each other and break stuff. Growing up in the 80s as I did, my version of "The Rough House" was called "The Hollywood Palladium", so I think I know exactly what it would be like in "The Rough House".

OK, I am not one to give warnings, but cover your damn ears when you enter Pleasure Island. Serious. No details though, because I don't care all THAT much about you and doubt you'll listen anyway.

Thankfully, all this rambunctious debauchery comes with a price for the rampaging little boys of Paradise Island. After drinking too much booze and shooting pool, Pinocchio's silly friend turns into a donkey (EEEK!) who is then enslaved and sent off to work in the salt mines! How do I know all this? I watched the movie! You should too, the damn thing is creeeeeepy and no evil deed (except underage drinking) gets punished! It kicks ass! Anyway... Pinocchio, who doesn't turn 100% into a donkey, shows his compassion for his stricken friend with the display of... is that terror or amusement? Well, there he is to your right, being all scared or thrilled or whatever.

Scary. They cry.
