Need to explain to the kids why you and Dad need to go around strapped while shopping and taking them to the pool? Your answer is here!
From the Amazon reviews
At some point in the last 15 or 20 years, I woke up in an alternate universe. Not an evil goatee wearing universe (my original universe had just as much explicit evil as this one); more like a weird off-kilter reality that’s slipping downhill faster and faster.
Everybody Shoots.
Local press covered this story a few months ago; the authors’ website is chock-full of sillyness.
I’m sure they do.

Poe’s Law in action. :smack:
The description of that book is priceless.
Honestly, if I threw away my scruples, I could make a fortune writing stuff like this.
Dick Strong? I think someone might be compensating.
In the third one (Why Daddy is a Democrat: Jeremy Zilber, Yuliya Firsova: 9780978668815: Amazon.com: Books), I wonder if the author also explains about Daddy being a Bear?
“Stand Your Ground, Charlie Brown”.
“If You Give a Mouse a Mauser”
“The Cat with the Gat”
“Charlotte’s Webley”
“Harold and the Purple Glock”
This is perhaps one of the less weird things about this book, but it seems strange to me that a children’s book has a 13 year-old protagonist. From the limited preview on Amazon this is a book with simple language and pictures on every page, and so is presumably targeted at elementary school age kids.
Although I’m not sure what a child is supposed to make of this passage, which appears on the first page: “One morning, Brenna was sleeping and dreaming dreams only a 13-year-old girl would dream”. Having once been a 13-year-old girl I have a pretty good idea what kind of dreams these must be (although girls today are probably dreaming about Justin Bieber or the members of One Direction and not the pop idols of my youth), but it seems like an awfully smutty way to begin a children’s book.
“… she began touching herself in that very special place.”
“Clifford the Big Red Target”?! :eek:
That’s hilarious.
“Are you there, Chuck? It’s me Margaret .”
Chuck is Charles Heston.
‘The Very Angry Caterpillar’.

I’m guessing you miss the point. There’s a difference between “Here’s what’s good about my political party” and “Here’s why my political opponents are evil”. There’s something wrong about teaching children to hate.
“The Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Who Overcompensates By Carrying A Magnum .44 At All Times”
“Kids, Protect Yourself Against Your Parents By Learning To Fire An Uzi”
Also, unfortunately it’s probably much easier to write a bunch of ridiculous smears than it is to write a thoughtful and educational book about values.
And I think my point about making money writing hate books still stands. I don’t have any stats but I suspect that hate filled smears sell much better than thoughtful advocacy.
