Gilligan's Island? It's Hell.

Years ago, CBS had a popular little series called Gilligan's Island. There is, however, a dark secret about this "comedy" you may never have realized.

The island is a direct representation of hell.

Nobody on the island wants to be there, yet none are able to leave.
Each one of the characters represents one of the 7 deadly sins:

Ginger represents [b]lust[/b] - she wears skimpy outfits, is obsessed with her looks, and is hyper-sexual.

Mary Ann represents [b]envy[/b] - she is jealous of Ginger's beauty.

The Professor represents [b]pride[/b] - he is an annoying know-it-all.

Mr. Howell represents [b]greed[/b] - no explanation needed.

Mrs. Howell represents [b]sloth[/b] - she has never lifted a finger to help on any of their escape plans.

The Skipper represents two sins: [b]gluttony[/b] - again, no explanation needed and [b]anger[/b] - he violently hits Gilligan on each show.

This leaves Gilligan.

Gilligan is the person who keeps them there. He prevents them from leaving by foiling all of their escape plots.

Also, it is HIS island. Therefore, Gilligan is [b]SATAN[/b].

Crazy?

He does wear red in every episode ...

Is the Skipper 2 sins because he's got the weight of 2 people? ... that's not very nice.

Interesting. I dont know if they purposefully made the show about this but I know they made the show so it would be appealing to us.

People like to sin, there is a certin draw to each of the 7 deadly sins. It is easy to see it now in Gilligans Island, but nearly all pop movies and tv show will play on the 7 deadly sins.

That's funny.

If the show had been more realistic, Gilligan would have been murdered in his sleep after the first night and no one would ever quesion who did it or why....

You know what you can do, you can sing "Amazing Grace" to the theme of Gilligan's Island. So now what does that mean?! :whistle:

We used to play that as a game in college-- singing "Amazing Grace" to 60s sitcom theme songs. :whistle:
