I don't know. The notion of teaching children about 9/11 with a coloring book that depicts violent scenes is a bit creepy to me. Coloring books are typically for the "under 7" crowd. Let them grow up a little first.
 
We don't need to go around shooting people in coloring books. Seems a bit creepy to push that on Children who are unable to fully understand the context.
 
I particularly like the part about "radical Islamic Muslim extremists". I wonder if they could tack on some more adjectives and make it even more redundant.

The grammar in this book is beyond atrocious. "Dubbed code name Neptune Spear, the operation lasted 30 minutes, included were 23 Navy SEALs and a dog named 'Cairo', no one wanted detainees." English, motherfucker, do you speak it?

😱 It should have been pulled just for violating the English language.

This coloring book is really for adult aged people who never really grew up.
 
I seem to remember having GI Joe coloring books when I was growing up where people were being shot at... But something about that definitely feels wrong to give to a child. I don't think the book should be banned, because censorship is wrong, but I do support a company's right to refuse to carry it. Still, it seems like it could easily be taken as a "kids" book that is actually meant for an adult audience, similar to the "Go the fuck to sleep" book.

What does the first amendment have to do with Amazon? *sigh* Don't they teach you kids anything these days?


Anyway, such a coloring book seems obviously aimed toward idiot adults who will snatch it up as a sort of bizarre collectible. The "author" of the coloring book knew his audience wasn't really kids.
 
and the attempts to brainwash the youth into believing something that never happened is beginning almost five months after the supposed 'incident'.
