F*ckin bunnies (literally). Great now my kids book is ruined. Maybe ill just use boink instead.
Anyone old enough to remember Calvin and Hobbes might take it as an homage to that. (Scientific progress.)

London Bridge did fall down though, but the plague was probably a worse thing to deal with. Would you animate the plague and make it child friendly?
Atishoo atishoo we all fall down (and die of the plague) yes we sang it at school, not knowing it’s dark history, blissfully unaware…That's a children's game too: ring around the rosie.

Well, I did grow up with Calvin and Hobbes, but I am not sure why that is a reference. Is it Boink?
Those older fairy tales were products of their time, but they did not make it past Mr. Disney's sensibilities. If he had used the more gruesome versions, I dont think he would have kept the family friendly reputation. In fact, I wonder if many of those remained family friendly in their original form prior to Disney. I grew up with those tales as well from picture books, but none of them had Cinderella's sisters chipping off their toes, or other bloody events. I think parents would be rejecting them today, if not for Disney, and other similar versions.
That's the one I was trying to remember. Disease, death and cremation, what a lovely children's song. Now add cussing and gangsta rap beats.
Remember the old woman who lived in a shoe? Nursery rhymes are notoriously dark.
Within forum rules to post that, since everything Baum ever wrote is now in the public domain.
Can you explain to me how posting a link could ever possibly be an issue? You mean not to post it if it's posted somewhere illegally?
Okay no probs just report it because anything I post is like a reference and I am not smart enough to know if it's copyrighted or pirated.See this: Copyright Policy
If I were you I'd read the book. It's hilarious, possibly intentionally so (for adults, that is).There are plenty of innocent titles that can be construed as something dirty. Like the TV show Leave it to Beaver. I guess that didn't land as an inappropriate nickname for a kid in the 1950s, when it originally aired.
Or the reading primer widely used in American schools in the same era, Dick and Jane.

If we're talking that long ago, even look at the name Dick Van Dyke! He sounds like a confused lewd supervillian because we know "van" means "of".If I were you I'd read the book. It's hilarious, possibly intentionally so (for adults, that is).
