Must Be Tough To Have Been Born Without A Sense Of Humor

The winners of the Taking Things Way, Way Too Seriously Award are the writer of this column and the people she interviewed, all of whom find the parody children's book "Go the F--k To Sleep" harmful. Harmful?!? Yes, they say it promotes "violent language" towards children. One "expert on child development," who I would not allow near any children, said, "Imagine if this were written about Jews, blacks, Muslims or Latinos." Um... what?!? It WASN'T written about them, because it's entirely about a specific and universal experience involving CHILDREN. And it's not advocating ANYTHING. It's just a joke, a sentiment anyone trying to lull a hyperactive child to sleep has held. Some people are incapable of grasping humor. (CNN)
