Mary Poppins

Mrs. Banks, wearing the "Votes for Women" sash that Chris so blatantly misinterpreted.

Mary Poppins is a Disney film adaptation of the book series of the same name. It is highly regarded as a classic of children's and musical cinema. It is less highly regarded as the favorite film of perverse, demented internet-cyst Christian Weston Chandler. Chris has made references to the film in his writing in his usual context-eschewing style. Most offensively to fans of the film, he incorporated the "Votes for Women" segment from the song Step In Time into his twisted Women's rights propaganda, as well as bastardized the Jolly Holiday song, replacing 'Mary' with 'Ivy' or the name of whatever gal-pal he is currently being trolled by.

His extreme zeal for "women's rights" probably comes from Mrs. Banks, the mother of Jane & Michael. As the story is set in England in the "spring of 1910" (although Emmeline Pankhurst's second arrest of 1909 was mentioned in an earlier song), women do not yet have the right to vote. She sang the second song of the film, "Sister Suffragette", and she made numerous references to the movement after that.

Mrs. Banks and her friends were depicted as struggling for the greater cause of being treated as an equal, with the same rights and treatment. But Chris, seeing Mrs. Banks speak fondly of all the shock value acts the protestors did (e.g. throwing rotten eggs at the prime minister), decided to take it to the only logical conclusion he could come up with: stripping and fucking.

“	But Thank God and Jesus, my Guardian Angel from the other side of the world found me. She, a Good, Loyal, Honest Sonichu & Rosechu fan, got my YouTube and Facebook accounts for me, and, she was a real big help and the "Spoon full of sugar" I needed to "help the medicine go down"	”
Chris, pissing off God and Walt Disney at the same time.

Mary Poppins in the comic

• In Episode 17, Rosechu breaks into the "Votes For Women" segment of the song "Step In Time".
• In Episode 20, Sonichu references Mary Poppins directly, but as he forgets to use a verb, it sounds less like a proposal for a nice evening with the family and more like pedofork/guro horror. ("Let's [...] head home for dinner and "Mary Poppins" with our children!").
• In the special episode from Sonichu #11, "A Sonichu Christmas," Sonichu uses Mary Poppins's "Chim Chim Cheroo" magic trick to fly up the chimney.
