Politically Correct Bedtime Stories by James Finn Garner
Laugh Out Loud Funny
This little book is the retelling of classic bedtime stories with modern day political correctness. It retells stories including Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, and Cinderella, to name a few.
Garner uses political correctness in the extreme! For example, here is an excerpt from Little Red Riding Hood:
The wolf said, "You know, my dear, it isn't safe for a little girl to walk through these woods alone."
Red Riding Hood said, "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, entirely valid, worldview. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must be on my way."
This book had me laughing out loud, sometimes with tears in my eyes. The only negative thing is that the stories do get a bit repetitive, like the original stories themselves. Therefore, it is best to savour them one at a time with space in between.
I really had a lot of fun reading these silly PC stories.
4/5

Sounds like a hoot! All I can think of is Larry the Cable Guys PC Fairy Tales.

Larry is on Blue Collar Comedy with Jeff Foxworthy (Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?) He wear a baseball cap and a flannel shirt with torn off shelves. He's a redneck and makes jokes about his weird family. He also says, "Get 'er done."
