Derived from "The Wizard of Oz," while in the movie, the phrase is intended to mean "don't pay any attention to the wizard not being real," it has evolved into a more literal and deeper phrase in modern times.
The fundamental moral lesson of the "Wizard of Oz" is that you MUST follow, follow, follow the "yellow bricked road" to success with your friends who have no brains, no hearts and no courage. Follow the "yellow bricked road to success (the Emerald City) no matter the cost." The Emerald City representing "utopia" or an oasis like (based in illusion) paradise. Follow the road no matter what to the "Emerald City" and when you ultimately realize your entire journey has been for naught, for a lie, for a fake made up imaginary oasis, you are to remember most importantly of all to ""pay no attention to that man behind the curtain"" or "remember to forget that it's all been for a lie."
In the new movie 'Wicked' the entire plot relies on you following your programming and always remembering to forget that the Emerald City has always been fake, the wizard has never been real. Thus, the entirety of the plot is based on a lie and falls apart RAPIDLY if you don't remember to forget.

Get the Attention seekermug. It's not about denying me attention. It's about SHIELDING THE PERSON WHO TOLD YOU TO IGNORE ME FROM THEIR CULPABILITY IN THE DECISION THAT MAY OR MY NOT HAVE GOTTEN YOUR KIDS KILLED. Someone made the call and YOU paid dearly. Or not. The decision that may or may not have saved your child's life was made by someone who CHOSE to both ignore my warning and perpetuate what has been happening to me since I was 19.
Hym "Likely some sort of incest cultist who is lying in the name of their religion. And they don't want me to get any attention because WHAT DO YOU THINK THE FIRST QUESTION I AM GOING TO ASK IS GOING TO BE? WHO MADE THE CALL AND WHY ARE THEY FREE? They sacrificed YOUR KIDS for THEIR CAREER and they could ENSLAVE A GENIUS WITH A MIND-RAPE SURVEILLANCE APPARATUS and harvest intellectual property and content as through the were cutting organs out of an imprisoned Wolverine. Who told you to ignore me and who paid the price for that decision? Not me. I'm in the exact same predicament I've been in for years."

Get the noa attentionmug. An attention EMP is a comment lobbed into a discussion that has the effect of distracting all participants of the discussion badly.
Man, Jeremy threw and attention EMP in on that meeting that was so bad we had to take a 10 minute biobreak.
