Pinky Dinky Doo Bootleg Blockbuster Video - No More Innocence

Behind Sesame Workshop/Paramount Vaults Presents: Pinky Dinky Doo - No More Innocence 
== For those in the know, what is Pinky Dinky Doo? ==
For context to anyone who doesn’t know about Pinky Dinky Doo, it is a Sesame Workshop series, associated with Cartoon Pizza, was a show about a 7-year old pink haired girl named Pinky, who tells her made-up stories in Great Big City with her 4-year old brother, Tyler. And they have a pet guinea pig who’s name comes as “Mr. Guinea Pig”. Quite obvious if you were to tell me. Anyways the series never really had many DVD/VHS releases, just a couple of releases (mostly on DVD). Sometimes you would end up finding a bootleg DVD of the series, mostly in Spanish or some other language.
== Story’s Beginning ==
However Paramount would team up with Sesame Workshop and Sony Wonder to release their very first home video release of Pinky Dinky Doo named, “Come Home, Little Guinea Pig”. During the making of the video tape, an error occurred as an attempt of a rejected episode from airing on Noggin was somehow managed to make it into the contents of the tape. The day when the tapes were sold, people began to notice the strange events occurring with the tape, such as the altered changes of the opening logos + the FBI warning screen that was shown at the very beginning of the tape, and also to take in full notice of the rejected episode that was hidden as the very last episode to be seen in the tape. It has been pulled off shelves and hasn't been back up ever since. But I came here to tell you that I actually own one of the last existing copies of the original tape. If you haven’t known where I got it from, it was eBay to be exact.
The tape only cost like $10.50 exact. And would arrive a week later. The moment I got the delivery, the packaging looked like it had been damaged by swift turns, or a possible crash (If I wasn’t sure). Strangely enough, the tape was still in good condition. So I turned on my VHS/DVD combo player and inserted the tape in. As I pressed play, all it showed at first was a black screen, accompanied by faint static/humming noises, along with a faint, quick dial up sound. 
== VHS opening ==
The tape then began with the FBI warning, but the colors were in a dark tint of red, which I thought was an error or something.
Then (strangely), a Paramount logo played, that shared similar elements with the Walt Disney Home Entertainment logo. I was confused as I thought that Paramount would take inspiration from that said logo. 
Then the Sesame Workshop promo came, but I could mostly tell that there was something fishy about it. For starters the whole promo was in a dark tint, the audio track was distorted with a mixture of faint demonic whispers that said she “caused the innocence” thing to happen. Everyone surprisingly managed to have their eyes bloodshot with black ink oozing below. Elmo then showed up in a black background, but didn’t say anything, except making a big and large grin, before showing the Sesame Workshop logo.
I could call that the logo was much, disturbingly scary. As the house exploded with stars and glitter, a blood splattering sfx was heard as blood flew through the screen, and was accompanied by a distressing screaming noise instead of the usual laughter, in which it sounded like a child. Not to mention that the house looked abandoned and had cracks all over it, especially the star n’ thunderbolt. Unsettling chime noises played in the background as blood overflowed below the house.
Then 3 promos of Sesame Street, Blue’s Room VHS releases and a Muppets Movie trailer all played, before showing the Paramount Feature Presentation ident played, thankfully looking normal. Then the opening logos played before the episodes. And must I say, they looked different as if an altered change took place.
First the Paramount logo was entirely in a tint of red and the logo’s fonts were changed to horror-like. 
The Genius Entertainment logo was also red tinted and had the “G” letter beaten.
The Cartoon Pizza logo had the Pizza scared to death, and had the galaxy background pitch black. Blood stains were also present in the corners of the screen.
The Nickelodeon logo surprisingly was the same variant from Ethelbert and the Red Mist.
And lastly the HBO intro was also in a dark tint of red, yet the audio remained unchanged as it was.
The episodes then played through “Come Home, Mr. Guinea Pig” - “Pinky and the Pink Phenomenon” after those episodes the final episode played, without a warning for some awkward reason. The intro was darker and the backgrounds were plastered with maroon colors. And the show’s logo in the end of the intro was horror-like and bloody. Speaking of the bloody term, blood splatters were seen in the corners of the screen.
The episode would start with the title screen, “No More Innocence” without Pinky reading out the title. Then it would show Pinky at the kitchen table, doing nothing but staring at the wall miserably. Tyler then is seen running up to Pinky and asks her what’s wrong. Pinky eventually would tell him that she’s alright, yet Tyler doesn’t believe that she’s okay. In my perspective, Pinky had her eyes worn out as if she was tired from staying up last night, and her face was all grumpy and pale. Apparently he had no idea what happened to her, as she also didn’t want to do Story Times today. 
So Tyler got Pinky’s mom and dad, including Mr. Guinea Pig to see her. Tyler then thought of an idea on why she’s so pale and tired. He comes up with the word, “haggard” a similar word to pale when someone’s tired. This idea gave Pinky something rather menacing, as she turned back to normal in an instant second. Pinky declared that her, Tyler and Mr. Guinea Pig all go to their Story Box and tell them a story. So they sang their song as they headed for the Story Box. Pinky then would tell Tyler and Mr. Guinea Pig a story about her waking up today, feeling haggard.
And so the story thus began with her waking up in the morning, and immediately noticing the sky to be dark, yet the time on the clock reads as 9:39am. Pinky was confused, yet still feeling haggard as much. Tyler comes up to her and gives medicine for her relief, yet nothing seems to work. So Pinky had to go to school with this condition anyway. A good morning breakfast also wouldn’t help either, as she didn’t feel hungry either. During class, all Pinky did was sleep, not knowing what was happening in class. Pinky’s teacher noticed and woke her up, but she was still asleep. She would then give ideas to her classmates about waking up Pinky. Different methods were all shared throughout the process, but nothing, and I mean, literally nothing could make Pinky wake up. One of the students then realized that Pinky might’ve fallen into a deep coma, and must be taken to a nearby hospital. 
The teacher would then (unexpectedly) have a random heart attack and all of the students were screaming out of fear, not knowing what to do. It zooms out of the box only to see Pinky, fully focused on the story and not with Tyler and Mr. Guinea Pig. They both shrugged and just left off to get a snack. Back to the story with Pinky, one of her friends, Dapphine went to call 9-11 on one of the telephones in the classroom, stating that a student named Pinky had a deep coma and the teacher had a heart attack. Soon after calling, the paramedics arrived in a flash and took them off to a nearby hospital, where they would soon be treated, except for Pinky, as she is still unfortunately still in the process of recovering from her coma. 
Pinky’s parents and brother were there, including her friends, hoping that she would wake up and soon return to normal life. Soon after she eventually felt bored and decided to end the story early since she ran out of ideas for the story. However she noticed her brother and pet guinea pig absent from the box, which left her confused. She thought to herself, “Where could they be…” as she headed downstairs to find them. Meanwhile during the search, something particularly strange happened. The sky all of a sudden started fading into a dark crimson-like color as everything around her faded away.
Pinky stood there silently, not knowing what was going on at the time. She then started to twitch and make a slight grin before her limbs extended and would immediately cut to black. It would stay silent for around two seconds before hearing Pinky’s demonic, wicked laughter unexpectedly. It soon fades into the outside of the house where Pinky’s parents, brother, and Mr. Guinea Pig gazing at the dark crimson skies in shock. The door behind them would slowly open before snatching her parents and eating them alive offscreen as Tyler and Mr. Guinea Pig screamed in horror and shock as their parents screamed in mercy as they tried getting out of the house. The brother and pet guinea pig had no other choice but to quickly escape from the ongoing disaster. 
They were heading for the school nearby as it was currently in session. Pinky on the other hand ran after Tyler and Mr. Guinea Pig. Her design however had an disturbing appearance that looked similar to the Mario 85 creepypasta game (MX). 
As soon as they got into the school they hid inside of Pinky’s classroom and the students were confused about Pinky’s absence and her brother and guinea pig coming to school instead. Pinky’s teacher asked Tyler why they would come to school at this time of day. Just then the door that Tyler was blocking would burst open, sending Tyler and Mr. Guinea Pig flying towards the room. Pinky then lunged at Tyler, by ripping off his torso, and eventually smash Mr. Guinea Pig by swinging him and punching him at full force. All of Pinky's students and her teacher made ear-piercing screams that echoed throughout the school as they were being massacred. 
Soon enough Pinky would go on a rampage, by killing everyone in Great Big City, including her made up story characters, as they were being killed in the most inhuman and gruesome ways imaginable. Just as she was about to kill her last victim, it cuts to black, until fading into the aftermath of Great Big City. There stood Pinky, in front of the burning city and dead bodies piled up around. It then cuts to a closer shot of her as she suddenly (magically) begins speaking to me. “Why must’ve I O’ say, you’ve truly tried your best not to get your favorite characters in the show killed off without a trace. Yet nothing happened.” I must’ve admitted that was pretty shocking, especially that it was in a video tape cassette. I wouldn’t bother grabbing myself a drink, but the demonic Dinky stopped me before I could even leave the room.
“You aren’t leaving this room of yours until you gave you what you should’ve needed a long time ago.” Pinky explained.
I took her statement as a joke and thus made her furious by doing something that made my skin run pale and made my heart sink at the same time. A text of my full legal address and IP info faded in, plastered onto my TV screen. I seemingly begged her how in the living dead would she do something as meaningless as this. 
“They all say, they’ve got their own ways, peasant!”
That's when I asked her who gave permission for all this crap to happen. And thus it turned out to before the infamous, Andrew Skinner and Cleeny Brown, the people behind Squidward’s Suicide and Ethelbert and the Red Mist episodes, as Pinky stamped the photos of the two people into a wall behind her. I was in disbelief, these creators? Why them? What did they ever do to deserve this? Pinky at the point backed away from the screen and then ran back as she jumped, readying to punch the screen at full force while saying “W̶̗̟͚̪̫̊Ḁ̵̧̺͍̗̫̹͒̿̕͝Ḣ̷̗̘̮̪͐̄͠O̵͖̭̭̾̈́͋̃̒͑̑O̴̭͎͙̹̍̔̃͊ͅƠ̴̡̛͉͔̟̬̂̍̓͗͒Ò̷̬͔́̔̅̑Ở̵̭̬̀̚” 
Good grief I was scared to death that I immediately ran up to the TV and pressed the fast forward button that somehow made the TV burst into static. As I pressed play, it faded to the credits, which had Pinky, still in her MX like form. She wasn’t dancing, but rather standing still while facing front at me and staring back at me menacingly. And the rest of the characters that were in the credits were replaced with their aftermaths. Not to mention that the credits were in darker shades of red and the text shown was colored white and the music that was playing in the background was a distorted reverbed version of 13 Angels Standing Guard The ‘Round Side of your Bed by Silver Mt. Zion.
Then the closing logos appeared which of course, weren’t normal.
The first being the Kids CBC logo, which had its face exploded.
Then the Noggin and CBeebies logos, which the Noggin logo was in tints of red and had a menacing grin with the eye being bloodshot. And the city above it was burning from a huge fire. The CBeebies logo was red tinted too, with the BBC logo being horror-like.
The Cartoon Pizza logo had the pizza’s eyes a black hollow within it and its skin melting away. The background was also pitch black, the “Cartoon Pizza” font was in a different horror-like font, and the earth looked like it was in a wasteland and barren. 
The Sesame Workshop logo was the same as the opening of the disc, except there was a huge blood splatter beneath the house, which was drenched in blood. And the logo’s font was yet again horror-like.
The copyright info then appeared before the Noggin logo appeared, but it went from normal to creepy-like, with its eye crossed out, while supporting the same grinning expression. The lightbulb also didn’t bother turning on as if it was broken and old. Below the logo I could make out a text written in spanish that said, “Tú Turno” which translated into “Your Next”.
The Nick Jr Productions logo was the same variant from Hoho’s Morality, only that Jr’s face was crossed out too.
The Nickelodeon logo had the haystack dark red, with no wordmark in sight, all except for an eye that stared down at me. The Nickelodeon horror jingle was heard as this was shown.
The HBO closing logo was horror-like and had the audio distorted before cutting to darkness instead of it fading to static and shutting off by itself, like if a power outage happened in a huge store.
Lastly the Paramount logo appeared, but it was the same as the opening logo. Only that a black censor bar covered the Paramount logo, with two stretched out eyes as it played the Suicide Mouse ending theme, but slower and reverbed. As the song was coming to a close, the audio got much distorted until the screen glitches out.
After that happens we see Pinky fade in, supposedly supporting the same grinning expression as before as she shortly laughed before saying, “You thought your innocence would’ve gotten you anywhere [REDACTED]? You’d thought your actions would escape my clutches by fast forwarding the tape to the credits? You know what they all say, doing so made you not a coward, but a SENSELESS . See you at [ADDRESS REDACTION]…” Before wickedly laughing in a demonic pitch. 
== Aftermath ==
Just then the tape ended with static, so I ejected it out of my VCR/DVD combo player and destroyed it before burning it whole. I decided to contact Sesame Workshop about that episode I’ve just seen. However they just stood silent and haven’t brought me back a response since. 
I would also try to contact the owner that sold the tape, but to my surprise his account appeared to be terminated yet left me a message under my bed that said, "Innocence doesn't got you far..." 
I’m not sure how a video cassette doxxed me and knew my name completely. But the thing is that I knew Andrew Skinner would make this terribly terrifying episode along with Cleeny Brown, the two who were behind the Ethelbert Red Mist incident back in 2004. Ever since I’ve been scarred and haven’t been able to watch Pinky Dinky Doo again, even with therapy because it was proven not to work for some reason I can’t tell. 
What about the innocence?
