Curious George = Sinister?

Posted by Eric at 1:32 pm. Filed under: Randomly Interesting

Curious George books are apparently sinister, at least, according to some hypersensitive P.C.-police.

Roth, a high school English teacher in Los Angeles, writes on her animal rights Web site that “Curious George” reveals “the sinister side of a corrupt wildlife trade with perilous roots in Western imperialism.” When the mischievous George is sent to jail, “the picture of the forlorn little primate alone in his cell conjures haunting images of countless monkeys lingering in laboratories, suffering silently and alone.”

It’s a bit hard to believe this isn’t satire.
