Mary Poppins, the Liar

Posted by Alex in Movies & SciFi on February 27, 2008 at 6:31 pm


Whaaaat? Did Mary Poppins lie 40 years ago? Robert Krulwich of ABC World News with Charles Gibson’s webcast investigates in this hard hitting piece:

[The mystery] involves the world’s most beloved nanny, Marry Poppins, and you may recall in the movie … that Mary teaches the worlds to say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Forward and backward. But did she really?

I smell a Peabody Award: Link – Thanks Zach!

    With her accent, my dad always told me the guy's name was 'Butt'. There's a real disappointment right there. What kind of name is Bert. =(

    I always just assumed that the spoonful of sugar thing was a lesson about the joys of freebasing or LSD.

    Did they even look at the word? It's not the entire word backwards. It's each part of the word, backwards.

    DOCIOUS ALI EXPI LISTIC FRAGI CALI REPUS

    The only part that's actually backwards is "SUPER / REPUS." The rest is just in reverse order.
