"Imagine if this were written about Jews, blacks, Muslims or Latinos…"
—Everybody needs to shut the f**k up aboutGo the F**k to Sleepright f**king now.
@olmucky How would that even work? What does that even mean? God, people overthinking things is … often frustrating. "Should be kept out of the reach of children"? No fucking shit, Sherlock.
I'd only worry if the book was called "Go The Fuck To Sleep, Joshua Allen of 234 Blackwood Lane, Columbus IN 47202, Home Phone Number (812) 338-2917, ATM PIN Number 7379"
Why is there this need to be protected from language and content in this country now? People feel entitled to the right to be protected from anything that they may find offensive, while forgetting that they do have the right to be offended itself, and to just not support the offensive material. The best analogy I've heard for this mentality is that adults shouldn't be allowed to have steak because children can't chew it.
Man, these articles are so infuriating! It's almost like those authors chose contrarian views on a popular subject for pageviews and attention-seeking purposes!
"Imagine if this were written about Jews, blacks, Muslims or Latinos…"
"Nobody is suggesting that there's a connection between Adam Mansbach's book and child abuse or child neglect. Except me."
"How dare you equate fucking to sleeping. For shame."
You mean, that book's not about Jews, blacks, Muslims or Latinos?
@olmucky How would that even work? What does that even mean? God, people overthinking things is … often frustrating. "Should be kept out of the reach of children"? No fucking shit, Sherlock.
@olmucky Every adult Jew, African-American, Muslim or Latino was at one point a child, so offense can be taken.
@olmucky Go the Fuck to Sleep, you MUSLIM!
@olmucky "Go the Fuck to Mecca."
"…but the fact is that kids are often frustrating." Thanks, The Guardian!
Kids don't follow.
Eh, it's no "Can't Hardly Wait" — A Listicle
@Matt "Fuck sleep/Fuck sleep/Fuck my sleep!"
I need a goddamn crib.
ayo here comes a slumberer
If only you were sleepy…

What's all this about? Sorry, I was just reading a manifesto about how pi should really be 2 times pi.
@TheRtHonPM Tau is serious fucking business.
Crass in concept and execution, this is an expletive-filled bedtime story intended solely for the amusement of parents.
And what the f**k is wrong with that, exactly?
@Clarence Rosario Not one fucking thing. Now excuse me while I go make some fucking lunch for four fucking people because fucking school ended today.
Who needs this book anyway? Just tell your kids to go the fuck to sleep in real life. I do, sometimes.
Wait, why would I be ordering a bunch of Jews to go the fuck to sleep, anyway? I want this gentleman to tell me more!
Anyone know what the Tiger Mom thinks about this book?
@Lockheed Ventura Tiger children do not sleep. They only study and practice.
i'm willing to bet that this bunch of fucksticks hated "the butter battle book" too.
@roboloki Stupid cunts probably even eat their toast butter side down.
There's no such thing as bad press, unless it's poor quality press that over-analyzes simple concepts and wastes the time of anyone who skim reads it.
I am anxious to read the forthcoming denunciations of "Rock a Bye Baby". That shit is scary.

@Commander
Terrible analogy. The reason children can't have delicious steak is because they haven't fucking earned it, and I'm busy fucking eating all of it.
"The irony, says Arredondo, is that the people buying the book are probably good parents."
A sentence only Alanis Morissette could love.
But see, Latinos and black people sleep all the time.

Wait until they find out Ring Around The Rosy is about the fucking Black Death.
