My First Fatwa

I call for the heads of the heathens and infidels Jesse Leon McCann and Christopher Moroney, and of all those who aid them, especially the publishers of Little Golden Books.

The Cat in the Hat: The Movie: The BookThis blasphemous abortion goes under the title Dr. Seuss's The Cat in the Hat: The Movie! (icky exclamation point theirs.). Since it is self-evidently not a movie but a book (at least in the sense that it has pages and printing), it would more accurately be titled The Cat in the Hat: The Movie: The Book.

What it is is: a retelling of the movie (presumably), jumbling together elements of the two actual Cat-in-the-Hat books with random concoctions of overpaid Hollywood script doctors, conveyed in utterly lifeless blocks of PROSE, illustrated by this hack Moroney, drawing in an approximation the Master's style.

Truly corpse desecration of the first order, folks.

I read this as kind of boilerplate "Americans are dumb" Euro-speak.

I've more or less been doing nothing to speak of. I just don't have much to say these days, not that it matters. Basically not much noteworthy going on worth mentioning. So it goes.

I just don't have much to say. I haven't gotten much done today. Eh. Maybe tomorrow. I can't be bothered with anything recently, but I guess it doesn't bother me.

Pretty much not much going on worth mentioning. I can't be bothered with anything recently. Maybe tomorrow. That's how it is.

My comments form now uses Markdown formatting syntax EXCLUSIVELY. If you use HTML in your comments (or indeed <pointy brackets> for any reason at all) you will be assumed to be a spambot, and your entire comment will be consigned to the Great Howling Internet Void. If you want to get fancy, have a look at the cheatsheet or the full description. Otherwise just type away.
