GOLDILOCKS IS THE kind of girl I hope to never meet. After failing to adequately plan a short hike into the local woods she becomes lost and, when faced with adversity, rather than taking a leaf out of Bear Grylls’ book, fashioning a yurt out of icicles and drinking her own pee to survive the night, she decides to make it the problem of a different family of bears. After breaking and entering the ursine trio’s house, she ruins dinner, smashes up the furniture and has the audacity to sleep off the whole home invasion in the kids’ bedroom. But rather than dwelling on why we peddle this to children, Goldilocks has instead got me thinking about the new Porsche 911 GTS.
