Don't mean to be this guy, but T. Burton got the Veruca stuff more or less right in terms of R. Dahl's original conception of the bad nut/bad egg scene. The "original" movie, while having the advantage of not sucking, effed that shit up.

That said, John Anderson's boneheaded Veruca/Violet switcheroo, and pursuant lapse in "snozzberry" usage, is, of course, inexcusable.

What's this blog about, again?

To our dear readers who have pointed out that:

a) Veruca was a "bad nut" and not a "bad egg"
and
b) Violet's Mother, not father, said "Violet you're turning violet, Violet."

I'm talking about the original Willy Wonka. Come on, people.

Also, in the remake, if we're really going to be dicks about this, Violet's mother doesn't say "Violet, you're turning violet, Violet." She simply says "Violet, you're turning violet!"

Are we done now?

I just e-mailed the ESPN ombudswoman about this. I'm sure she'll handle it.
