The Secret Message of Gilligan's Island Seven Deadly Sins Cracked Heels



\uD83C\uDF99\uFE0FOn Fan Query Theories, Lara Williams, Spencer Williams, and Michael Sewell scour the internet (mostly Reddit) for the wildest fan theories about the pop culture we love, from its most obsessed fans. They\u2019re not Disney experts or Scooby Doo experts or LOTR experts, they\u2019re just internet experts, so they come to us as unbiased reporters. I love the show because each episode offers a few fan theories, there\u2019s probably at least one that will catch your eye. Time stamps would be nice! A recent episode was about the characters of Gilligan\u2019s Island representing the seven deadly sins (is Gilligan SATAN??) and Daffy Duck\u2019s possible brain damage. I skipped the middle segment (something something Avengers) but probably should have listened. When I don\u2019t skip, I always find that I\u2019m interested anyway. Listen here.


Your piece on the Fall of the Fat Cats was interesting and provocative. But it missed a perspective I think is important - the role of a society which would extole greed as a virtue instead of a vice in the first place. No one complained about "golden parachutes" so long as their 401(k)s were increasing in value. When I was a kid I was taught that greed was one of the "seven deadly sins". I was also taught such traditional things as that gambling was wrong. But then along came legalized forms of gambling, including the Stock Market and the Insurance game. Talk about NewSpeak! We have done everything we can to redefine vice as virtue. Is it any wonder that on 9/11 the safest places to be in NYC were St. Patrick's Cathedral and The Cathedral of St. John the Divine? No one really worships there any more. We worship at the shrine of big money. It is just too bad that Osama bin Laden couldn't have waited a few more years. He would not have had to take down the World Trade Center, but merely wait until our own greed caused us to fall by our own hand.
