Neo Missed the Real World because He was a Candy Freak
February 6th, 2008I’m sure you all recall the scene near the beginning of the now-immortal film The Matrix where Morpheus and Neo are talking in that old rickety house and Neo is presented with the red and blue pills - symbolic of choosing “the real world” and the lie he’s been caught in, respectively.
Now, imagine the dialog went something like this:
Morpheus: “You can take the blue pill, and…”
Neo: “Holy crap, is that a Mike and Ike!?” - who then quickly snatches the blue pill from Morpheus’ hand and ingests it.
Neo: “Ugh, that didn’t taste like Blue Raspberry at all…”
Neo then wakes up in his own bed, continues unenlightened existence and lives out his days as a failed software developer, never knowing of the bloody war being fought over dumbasses like him.
