Politically Correct Bedtime Stories
Politically Correct Bedtime Stories | James Finn Garner
These hilarious adaptations of classic bedtime stories satirise the modern proclivity to all sexist, racist, culturist, nationalist, ageist, sizeist, ethnocentrist and phallocentrist bias and reflect a more enlightened sensibility. The Emperor is not naked in his new clothes but is endorsing a clothing-optional lifestyle. Snow White escapes to the cottage of seven vertically-challenged men, while Goldilocks is an ambitious scientist studying anthropomorphic bears. Fourteen timeless fairy tales are purged of the influence of a flawed and insensitive cultural past to become tales that are a must for all who pride themselves on being socially aware.

Hilarious take on political correctness and the warm mediocrity and cliches it inevitably leads to.

"Red Riding Hood screamed, not out of alarm at the wolf's apparent tendency toward cross-dressing, but because of his willful invasion of her personal space."

“You know, my dear, it isn't safe for a little girl to walk through these woods alone.”

“I find your sexist remark offensive in the extreme, but I will ignore it because of your traditional status as an outcast from society, the stress of which has caused you to develop your own...worldview. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must be on my way.”

This book is hilarious. Rape, eugenics, vegetarianism, exploitation, feminism and more...this book has it all.

I came across this hilarious collection during my college days. Promptly bought it as a gift... A perfect choice, I dare say ;D

I reread it a few years ago, and of course it was more entertaining enjoying it as an adult

ptkpepe98 When I was in college, and we went to conferences, we read these before going to bed. We were naughty because we also snuck in libations and snacks! Ahem. The girls and I are all educators now...coincidence?? 6y

It's bedtime so time for stories. I unearthed this while sorting out my shelves (finally!). I'm probably going to give it away but I feel compelled to read it again first. Taboo is another book that got buried and I really should finish it and return it to its owner!
