A new idea for a possible series.

Leave suggestions in the comment section. There's a legitimate 1% perhaps even a 2% chance that I'll be able to turn your idea into an animation. :D

A whipping boy, in the 1600s and 1700s, was a young boy who was assigned to a young prince and was punished when the prince misbehaved or fell behind in his schooling. Whipping boys were established in the English court during the monarchies of the 15th century and 16th century. They were created because the idea of the Divine Right of Kings, which stated that kings were appointed by God, implied that no one but the king was worthy of punishing the kings son. Since the king was rarely around to punish his son when necessary, tutors to the young prince found it extremely difficult to enforce rules or learning.

    ---GEEK---

    I think that has at least a couple of different meanings through history.

    If any one can do some awesome animation on it, You can!

    - peace,

  • Jason

    That's the kind of word I'm looking for. Something that has been around at least a couple of generations and has either completely changed or has taken on a symbolic meaning like whipping boy. I'll put that one on the list.

    Thanks

    :D

  • this is great...this should have its own channel...i'd love to see more it's endless what you can do with this

  • Paul

    I actually did open a channel for this and it was up there for about 2 days. I wanted the channel to get included in the partner program but I filled out something wrong on the app and I couldn't link it to my main channel, so they politely declined. In the end I was glad anyway. It really is easier to have fewer channels that need tending to.

    :D

  • wow, GREAT IDEA!

    how about...hmmm...a sock account? lol

  • Too Funny
