1 out of 5 stars Stupid "humor" and intolerance propaganda   May 30, 2008
This book, which is aimed to young kids, seems to be just some kind of hate speech.
The author tried to make it funny using some toilet humor attempts. But he does not seem to succeed in it.

Those people, who may find it funny, try this:
Think about the acceptance of this book if the boy would be portrayed as black.
Would it ever been published?



5 out of 5 stars Don't listen to 'a reader'...   November 13, 2005
 2 out of 6 found this review helpful

Because that person obviously is a bore...well maybe. But still, have a sense of humour, chill a bit. So this book may be 'sexist' and it would probably have a bad effect on people if it was against girls, but think about it, it's written by a guy! I mean, he obviously can poke fun at his sex, and he's not ashamed to poke a bit of fun at blondes too. Who really cares if it's 'sexist', it's JUST a book, not a life or death situation.
So just give this book a chance, David & Goliath products rock!
love and peace xxxxxx ^_^



1 out of 5 stars - 0 Stars! Sexist, Disgusting & Degrading!   July 3, 2005
 6 out of 21 found this review helpful

This is the most disgusting display of sexism and hostility. It is a sad comment that any group be targeted for hatred and ridicule. The only reason this got even one star is because you can't rate zero stars or total dud which this is.

While there are people who find this funny, this book seems to send out a very bad and damaging message that it is perfectly acceptable to taunt others and hold them up as bad examples. This book is an example of prejudice and hatemongering at its worst. Just think of the outcry that would reverberate if GIRLS were being ridiculed and/or portrayed in gender biased ways. Why should anybody be treated this way?! Talk about double standards!

This book has nothing going for it.
