Talking To Kids About TerrorismWelcome Again Corner Readers! This post's okay, but if you want a really good laugh, check out the Paul Anka links here. You're thinking Paul Anka isn't funny. You couldn't be more wrong. Actual "Talking to Kids About Terrorism Post" now begins. This is so bizarre that it's funny in that what-the-eff kind of way.
First: What is the deal with that cover? I've got to say that cover picture doesn't seem very reassuring to me. And I'm an adult. You've got a plane flying into a house, for crying out loud, and even the dog is terrified. Nothing soothes a scared child like the pictorial statement that Even your dog is going to be offed. Suggestion for reducing children's nightmares about terrorism: Don't show them the horrifying cover of this book. Oddly, only the cat is blase about the whole deal. Suggesting, probably accurately, that cats support terrorist murder. Bareknuckle Politics has a link to the a cached version of this on-line book. A sample: Learn To Understand The Feelings Of Others My girlfriend and I play a version of "Feelings Charade." She knows that when I start loading a pillowcase full of doorknobs and glass ashtrays, I "feel" that her meatloaf was "disappointing" and that she needs to be "corrected." Helping Others Takes Your Mind Off Your Own Problems Helping box? What kind of pinko metrosexual cryptosocialist pussy-shit are they teaching our kids these days? When I have a kid, I'm going to have him make a WINNERS NEVER CRY BOX, and have him fill it with ideas of how to really kick ass and dominate all the other retards he's in school with. And he will, too, because we're going to take Tae Kwon Do together. We'll also wear matching Ninja outfits. Not even for the dojo. Just for going to the supermarket and stuff. We'll be totally adorable, but in that menacing, don't-dare-make-eye-contact-with-me-or-my-Ninja-toddler kind of way. Note: This is quite old; of course I'm just hearing about it for the first time. It seems written in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, bearing a 2001 copyright. It states that we still don't know for sure who planned the attacks, which means it was probably written in the first several weeks after the murders. The writer also doesn't seem to be a true moonbeam. His answers to kids and parents seem reasonable. Still, however well-intentioned, it's a weird, sad, and darkly funny artifact. Again, maybe "Feelings Charades" and "Helping Boxes" are sound suggestions for young children. But they do invite satire. At least they invite satire from a heartless dick like me. The sample pages don't include anything about abortion or gay marriage, but maybe those are covered in the sequel, Mommy Squirrel's Big Book of Vaginas and Penises. Thanks to Phinn. More... Someting Awful parodizes that scary cover. Best of the bunch? To further calm children, they've filled the Death-Plane with carnivorous serpents, and have retitled the book Will They Crash a Plane (Full of FUCKING SNAKES!) Into Our House? Thanks to Kyle T. posted by Ace at 01:41 PM
CommentsWill they fly a plane into our house? Oh, they'll try. But it's going to be hard for them to do that. Especially with no f*cking heads. Posted by: The Colossus on December 10, 2005 02:01 PM
It looks legit. If it were a joke, it would be more over-the-top. It reminds me of another liberal-weenie-oriented kids' book, Little Democrats. Posted by: Phinn on December 10, 2005 02:13 PM
That picture is awesome. It is quite an accurate representation of the threat islam poses for civilization today. If they could, they would fly planes into all of our houses until we submitted to them. Posted by: Village Idiot on December 10, 2005 02:37 PM
There you go, slandering cats again, Ace. Don't you know that you could cover your naked body with Strawberry Philadelphia(tm) Cream Cheese, put on bunny ears left over from your last session of "Hide the Colored Easter Eggs" with your girlfriend, and hop around singing the chorus to "My Sharona," and a cat would be nonplussed? Posted by: CraigC on December 10, 2005 02:42 PM
Spoof of this whole thing I found funny; http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=3415 Doesn't really contribute anything, but worth a laff or two. Posted by: Kyle T. on December 10, 2005 02:44 PM
How can the picture be anymore over the top? For accuracy's sake, though, there shd be little turds dropping out of the dog's butt. Posted by: on December 10, 2005 02:58 PM
FYI Nonplussed means confused and bewildered. I suspect most animals would be nonplussed by a man covered in cream cheese... Posted by: 4thgenerationbuck on December 10, 2005 03:01 PM
Geeze, how embarassing. I think I just meant "nonchalant." Posted by: ace on December 10, 2005 03:09 PM
Wait-- there are snakes? On a plane?!? Where is Sam Jackson when we need him the most? Cheers, Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on December 10, 2005 03:21 PM
Actually, "nonplussed" is more like "bemusedly perplexed." Posted by: CraigC on December 10, 2005 03:35 PM
In a detached, cool, hep-cat kind of way. Posted by: CraigC on December 10, 2005 03:39 PM
The cat is probably a Mossad agent, knew the plane was coming, and left early. Posted by: on December 10, 2005 03:41 PM
Oh, god, that's so horrible. The dog, he's standing upright on his hind legs--that's so...anthropocentric! And mom is wearing a red cocktail dress. At home. In the middle of the day. Brrrr. Posted by: S. Weasel on December 10, 2005 03:45 PM
Ok, here are the words that make the least sense to me. Posted by: 4thgenerationbuck on December 10, 2005 03:45 PM
"Will they fly a plane into our house?" No, Sweetheart. Not as long as Daddy and that box of Stinger missles in the basement has anything to say about it. Posted by: jack on December 10, 2005 04:02 PM
We live not all that far from the Flight 93 crash site. In the afternoon of 9/11, my year-old son said, "Mommy, I'm scared." I felt an surge of consuming hatred for the Muslims at that moment and answered, "We're Americans. We don't get scared; se get even."

I've got to say that cover picture doesn't seem very reassuring to me. Er, you've missed the pivotal part. Look at the dad. Look at him close. Jihadi. He's celebrating. Posted by: Bill from INDC on December 10, 2005 05:30 PM

Remember, it takes a village idiot. Posted by: john brown on December 10, 2005 05:43 PM
The book for children (male children ...) is the one that the Taliban and Al Quaeda put together after October of 2001: "Will they drop a daisy cutter into your cave?: How to talk to children about the wages of terrorism" "Will mud walls stop spent uranium?: How to talk to children about the wages of terrorism" "Where did uncle jam'aal go 3 weeks ago?: How to talk to children about the wages of terrorism" Or what about the books after January 2004? "Why are girls going to school, now? How to talk to children about the American presence in Afghanistan" "Why is daddy in hiding? How to talk to children about the American presence in Afghanistan" "Why are there no more foreigner, muslim brothers showing up in Afghanistan for 6 month vacations? How to talk to children about the American presence in Afghanistan" "What's with the woman and the purple finger? How to talk to children about the American presence in Afghanistan" Posted by: DeeDaGo on December 10, 2005 07:57 PM
Not sure why you need to linked to the cached version as the non-cached version is right here: http://www.guidancechannel.com/talkingterrorism.pdf Posted by: on December 10, 2005 08:06 PM
Excellent answer, goddesoftheclassroom. Quite true, too. What floored me about 9/11 was one of the many ways people responded: they spent more time with family. It seemed that a reaction to the event (and to the shock and rage it produced) was for families to huddle closer. At least, that's my impression, which could be wrong. Shows one reason why families are important: they're a major source of emotional comfort and support in times of chaos and worry. Posted by: Muslihoon on December 10, 2005 08:29 PM
More time with the family? Posted by: Uncle Jefe on December 10, 2005 10:09 PM
Two more entries for the Democrat Squirrels, if someone wants to do a photoshop: 4) Democrats take money meant for the children and spend it on things good for themselves, just like Mommy does with the child support payments. 5) Democrats will get into bed with anyone who gives them enough money, just like Mommy does. ...and what is the deal with the shiftless guy in a trenchcoat that seems to be following their family around? Is he the Democrat? Posted by: Nathan (Chief Muser) on December 10, 2005 11:02 PM
I'm sorry, after seeing that squirrel book, I can't think of any good way to satarize it. I mean, really, is there anything more true and more telling than "The Democrats want to take care of you just like your mommy does" ? Posted by: Sortelli on December 11, 2005 12:17 AM
Hey Ace, WTF does "parodize"mean. Posted by: Nitpicking Geek on December 11, 2005 09:00 AM
The beauty of "Little Democrats" is that it is its own satire. Therefore, it must be a metasatire. Posted by: Floyd McWilliams, the elder on January 3, 2006 02:44 AM

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals. The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite. Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
