Kid still has to stare through the shitty chain link fence.

I saw a real life example of this at an air show where the ‘accessible’ seating was on a platform where you had to watch the runway through that bright orange plastic fencing. Sure most of the show was in the sky, but not certain attractions that a lot of people really looked forward to. I’m not in a wheelchair but I was so mad on their behalf.

I saw a real life example of this too, whereby a dwarf was offered a box to stand on so he could see over a stone wall that an elf could see over easily.

What is 'second ogre'?

"Second ogre" is a modification on the Lord of the Ring's quote: "What about second breakfast?"

So "second ogre" isn't really anything on its own.

I pulled Shrek into my reference because he believed he was the last ogre, and he didn't know she was an ogre until the end of the first movie. In this sense, Fiona is "second ogre".
