JUST ADD WATER

Often, a fairy tale contains more than meets the eye. One of the reasons the sacraments are so scandalous is their blantant appropriation of phenomena. For example, Just Add Water is a television series about some mermaids who are able to blend in with conventional society unless they interact with water. Similarly, Jesus is able to blend in with conventional society until his baptism in the Jordan, when his true identity is revealed and his mission is set in motion. Here, the "trident" symbolizes not only the trinitarian nature of the deity, not only the tridentine Mass nor merely the Neptune of Bologna and Pasolini's pedagogy but plugging into Paradise with your USB, the traditional way Liceo students would access the content.
