LINCOLN, Neb. — An aspiring creepypasta author is being hailed as a visionary after imagining a world where children’s show icon Peppa Pig was, like, all fucked up and stuff.
“I really wanted to write something wholly original, something no one has ever thought of before,” said Grace O’Grady, the creator of ‘I Think My 2-Disc Peppa Pig Season 3 DVD Is Haunted’. “I don’t think we as a society have really considered that children’s cartoon characters can be scary if they had some blood on them and were holding a sickle or something. Or, like, what if they just repeated some enigmatic phrase?”
The story has been making waves since being published last week, garnering attention from all corners of the globe for its depiction of Peppa Pig being all gross and murdery.
“I’ve never read anything that’s shaken me to the core like this. It’s brilliant,” said Shayne Atkins, an English professor at Harvard. “Peppa is supposed to be a friend to all. This macabre tale describes a Peppa Pig that is more prone to killing than friendship, and also she says fuck now. That’s not a word you usually hear in kids’ shows. It’s the ultimate subversion.”
Despite the reaction from academics, the creative team behind the show claimed that the creepypasta was actually in line with their conception of the character.
“People are just now starting to be afraid of Peppa?” said Neville Astley, co-creator of Peppa Pig. I knew when we created her that we were making something otherworldly, something…evil. I’d ask God to have mercy on us, but I know no God would allow Peppa Pig into this world. That’s the ultimate punchline to the existential horror we’ve been producing for twenty years.”
At press time, the sequel to ‘I Think My 2-Disc Peppa Pig Season 3 DVD Is Haunted’ has been announced, titled ‘I Found This Old 2-Disc Peppa Pig Season 3 DVD Amongst My Brother’s Things After He Was Mysteriously Murdered’. It is currently rumored to be 700 pages long.
