Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory?

The Public Eye has left a new comment on your post, "Bankrupt and obese?"
Clare,
I'm surprised at you. The picture (a screencap from the 1971 movie "WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY") is of the character Violet Beauregard, a particularly vapid and immature young lady who became the most famous human blueberry in cinematic history.
I urge you and your readers to watch the movie (still a classic, and quite watchable, after all these years), think about what personal qualities led to her blueberry-esque obesity, and you will understand the symbolism of this photo.

Dear Public Eye:
Thank you for writing. Sorry, but our knowledge of the cinema compared to yours is sadly lacking. However, as you can see we're trying to quickly educate ourselves
Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk

Apologies, suppose I was a little too presumptuous in my response. As good a movie as "Willy Wonka" is, I will concede that it is sufficiently dated for most contemporary moviegoers to have not heard of it. (At least, that was the case prior to Tim Burton's remake a few years ago.)
Truly, though - a memorable scene, non? I would urge you and your readers to view it in the light of Mr. Guiboche's post. The intended metaphor in relation to the MMF should become obvious.
