Robert Munsch, Terrorist

[sabotabby]

Al Qaeda terrorist Robert Munsch* had been nefariously plotting to release a new picture book, but Scholastic, presumably in consultation with American Homeland Security, put a stop to it before an entire generation of children could be brainwashed into Islamofascism. They are also considering recalling The Paper Bag Princess out of fear that it could induce little girls to become socialist and anti-family, and grow up to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY? The above is only slightly exaggerated.

My favourite line:

"Always when you are doing books for kids, you have to be sensitive to what their real world is," she said. "Especially because with Robert Munsch's books, what he's doing is taking real situations and making them ridiculous, so it's always a balance between reality and that craziness that Bob is doing. But that's what makes him so great."

*Yes, the same one who made /b/ cry with Love You Forever. But not me. It's the worst of his otherwise great books. There, I said it.
