THE LAND OF "WRINKLES ROCK"!!!
Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, lived a civilization of people who could not laugh, cry or show any emotions. They also could not sleep on their stomachs, or touch their faces, or make any facial expressions. Worst of all, they could never play the fun game of, "Let's see who can make the ugliest or funniest face"!Why, why you ask? Because they all had plastered faces without any wrinkles! Gasp! It was a whole civilization of a people who had no wrinkles, and therefore could not enjoy all the freedoms of expression and communication that our civilization has. Their faces were hard like rock. Because of this, they named their planet "Face Rock." They were in such bondage, and only the richest of them could afford to have operations to get wrinkles molded into their plastered faces. The poor just stared in amazement and admiration at how beautiful they looked with this slight alteration. They watched them smile and frown, and laugh and cry, and boast about sleeping on their stomachs at night!
They made funny faces and sad faces and scary faces and loving faces. They said they felt a freedom like never before. It was like an outlet to the soul. These facial expression helped greatly in communication, and seemed to help captivate audiences. They looked so natural, that everyone now wanted wrinkles, at any cost!
So the leader of the planet gave everyone a "get wrinkles for free" debit card, and now, everyone had beautiful, expressionable, liberating, blessed WRINKLES! Oh the freedom, oh the joy, oh the celebration! They even changed the name of their planet to "Wrinkles Rock!!!"
Then they heard about a land called Earth, where everyone is born with wrinkles, then they smooth out until they earn them with age and wisdom. They also heard about those who would rather not be able to use facial gestures, or sleep on their stomachs, or have freedom of expression, etc..., and choose, rather, to have their wrinkles removed! Gasp! Who would be that stupid! To have to go through life like a zombie, or a plastic, expressionless, Barbie doll? They had to warn them!
The Wrinkle's Rock civilization sent special messengers to Earth to warn the poor, deceived multitudes about the dangers and bondage of a wrinkleless society, but they would not listen. They could not get the people to quit staring at huge square electronic devices called televisions, in which the wrinkleless victims were portrayed as heroes and idols! Gasp! Was it too late?
One of them came up with a plan. "They love dogs, so let's find a dog with lots of wrinkles, and show them how cute it is!" They had to go to China, but finally found an adorable dog with huge wrinkles all over it's body, called the Shar Pei. They then began to promote this dog to Earth, and at first the people were repulsed at such an unusual sight - a dog covered with wrinkles! But the more they looked at it, the more they fell in love with it, and everyone now wanted one of their own.
This made the world wrinkle-friendly, because it was hard to own one of these pets without laughing, crying, etc... It brought such joy and simplicity to people's lives, and made them realize that you don't have to be "beautiful" to enjoy life. That "beauty is as beauty does," and that true beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!
They decided not to get their wrinkles removed. In fact, the more a person had, the more honored and admired they were - for it was nature's sign of wisdom and freedom! They finally concluded that Wrinkles Rock!!!
