No apology. Probably no shame as well.
Channeling Veroua Salt, I see. In the name of "rights", of course. I notice that most are tattooed. I 'hate' to be judgmental but I'm not surprised. And they' aren't attractive. at. all.
The "on demand" part always reminds of the "On Demand!" cable slogan. The "get all the latest & hottest movies" deal.
Oompa Loompas:
Oompa Loompa doompadee doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompadah dee
If you are wise you will listen to me
Who do you blame when your kid is a brat
Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat?
Blaming the kids is a lie and a shame
You know exactly who's to blame:
The mother and the father!
Oompa Loompa doompadee dah
If you're not spoiled then you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompadee do
I also want to note that the Oompa Loompa's work in a factory, doing work that can be described as a routine and monotonous. What they do wouldn't be deemed to be exciting or creative (well, kinda). I wouldn't label it a field (candy making) that lends itself to self-expression. They aren't "their own boss." They make things (candy) that people consume and enjoy as shown in the film. It's practically a craft (in the traditional sense). I assume that what they wear in the video are their "work clothes" - so a uniform of sorts. Each has their own set of responsibilities, with Wonka calling the shots, and probably rarely go outside the factory, if ever. I don't know what they're paid for their labor.
They aren't worldly, but they're unique simply by being their own "race" (if we take the world of Wonka as it is). Their green hair and orange skin aren't fake - it's actually their real/natural color, driven by genetics & nature.
According to Willy Wonka, he rescued them from great danger in their homeland and asked them to work for him, where they'd be safe. The Oompa Loompa's also seem very content with their situation in life. Does this remind you of something very Americana?
