In a Land Far Far Away

So my previous post was about pictures of real life Disney princesses. Well apparently it has been taken one step further. ABC has a show called Once Upon a Time that is about what would happen if all our favorite characters were dropped in a town without any of their memories. And I ask you: why? Why take perfectly good innocent fairy tale characters and make them real? From what I've heard, the show shows that in real life, the characters aren't great people. You rarely actually like any of them because of personality, and every episode seems to have more and more bad stuff happen. Long story short, I won't be watching it any time soon. But it does raise an interesting point: is this simulacrum? I categorize it as a simulacrum (it's a show) of a simulacra (real life people based on cartoons). I bet Baudillard would enjoy figuring out how that one works.
