Fux News is doing to the coming generation. A coloring book trivializes what ISIS is doing.

The 'in private, behind closed door' meme is generally used to refer to adults having sex. So much there, too gross.

His next effort may be The Handmaiden's Tale.

Sick bunch of grifters. It's a fricking nightmare.

Take Halloween. A simple holiday, of scary things like ghosts, goblins, monsters, etc. Parents can at least tell their kids, those kinds of fears, are not real. They are meant to be like a roller coaster, scary but safe.

But give kids the fear of Terrorists and tell them they are real things to be scared of. All those brown people with beards.. terror!!! terror!!

Yes, teach them the fear of real people, and teach them racism and bigotry all in one package! Kids won't know the difference between scary terrorists in Iraq or the ones they perceive down the block.

Terrorism coloring books? This country is losing it! And then per the idiot, "kids are pretty smart these days". I agree. So why take it upon themselves to educate our kids on terrorism via a coloring book? If parents cannot explain terrorism to their own children when it is appropriate, then we have a bigger problem at hand. Do we really need to go out of our way and give our kids nightmares? These two are total idiots.

And yet, ONE MORE REASON not to listen to FAUX news.

And Russell,,,,,, Come on dude, please put a shirt on. There are more than women watching you.

around loose, let alone given a forum, even on Fox. (cutting little children in half? Then, again, what would you expect from the same types who would throw infants out of incubators?) On the other hand, blowing children to bits is OK if you're on the side of righteousness. Brand can't resist challenging the utter lunacy of the Bell-types, but he's preaching to a particular choir and unlikely to win over middle-of the road types with his (admittedly enjoyable) outrageousness. Stewart and Colbert, however, are chipping away with great success.
