Does anyone remember this song/hand clapping game from elementary school days?
Shame, shame, shame
I don't want to go to Mexico no more, more, more
There's a big fat policeman at the door, door, door
he will grab you by the hips,
kiss you on the lips,
I don't want to go to mexico no more more more
SHAME ON YOU!
(The two girls race to yell "SHAME ON YOU!" in each others faces, whoever says is louder/first gets to hit the other one on the forehead, but generally both girls get hit by the other anyway.)
I woke up with this in my head and it startled me.
How it really does demonstrate the nature of shame. I mean, in this scenario, the girls are basically getting sexually assaulted and yet THEY are the ones who feel shame and beat each other up over it.
It just suddenly seemed really relevant. And sick. And weird.
