Subdeacon Joe Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Fairytales too scary for modern children, say parents TOP TEN FAIRYTALES NO LONGER READ TO CHILDREN 1. Hansel and Gretel - Details two kids abandoned in the forest and likely to scare young children 2. Jack and the Beanstalk - Deemed too 'unrealistic'. 3. Gingerbread Man - Would be uncomfortable explaining gingerbread man gets eaten by a fox 4. Little Red Riding Hood - Deemed unsuitable by parents who have to explain a young girl's grandmother has been eaten by a wolf. 5. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves - the term dwarves was found to be inappropriate 6. Cinderella - Story about a young girl doing all the housework was outdated. 7.Rapunzel - Parents were worried about the focus on a young girl being kidnapped. 8.Rumplestiltskin - Wouldn't be happy reading about executions and kidnapping 9.Goldilocks and the Three Bears - Sends the wrong messages about stealing 10.Queen Bee - Inappropriate as the story has a character called Simpleton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Bullweed Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 How about the fairytales too scary for adults: 1. Obamacare 2. Recent IRS activities 3. Possible war in Syria 4. FIAT currency 5. Fed Reserves acting without any oversight (I am already diving under the blanket and cannot continue to count more tales even though I know that they exist) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knarley Bob Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 According to George Carlin; That was childrens first introduction to drug use. Old King Cole was a merry old soul', and a merry old soul was he, He called for his "pipe" & called for his "Bowl" I guess we know about old King Cole ( He wanted to get high, and listen to the fiddlers) Knarley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 And these fairy tales are worse than reality television how....................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 They are supposed to be scary. Fairy tales were used, by parents, to scare their children into behaving. It's no different than a mother today telling her kid, "If you don't behave that policeman is going to arrest you". I don't recognize "Queen Bee", by the way. What's that story about? I, myself, always liked the political correctness of Little Black Sambo. This was considered so offensive to "Afro-Americans" that, first they changed it to "Little BRAVE Sambo", and then they did away with the story entirely. But, since Sambo was chased by TIGERS, it has nothing to do with Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bama Red Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 That has got to be the biggest pile of steaming, odoriferous, bull crap that I have ever heard. Our grandkids arrive tomorrow for three days and I will try to read aloud as many of them as I can find for them! This PC $h!t has to stop!

Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yeah, what he said. They were meant to teach a lesson to the listener. Or at least that's what I've always heard... They are supposed to be scary. Fairy tales were used, by parents, to scare their children into behaving. It's no different than a mother today telling her kid, "If you don't behave that policeman is going to arrest you". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Do you think children, or at least "normal" children don't enjoy being told scary stories. What the heck do they think ghost stories are all about. Me thinks there is an overdose of stupid in some folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jake1001 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Remember Sambo's Pancakes? They are gone too. Yeah, someone got their panties in a wad over "Little Black Sambo" being chased around a tree by a BENGAL Tiger, which mostly come from India. The Bengal tiger is found primarily in India with smaller populations in Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Burma. Notice the lack of the Continent of Africa? I liked Tiger Butter too.
