Heh, I have to admit the "devil beating his wife" is the euphemism of my childhood too.  Wonder where in the hell that ever came from.

ETA1: Which reminds me of this hilarious fanfic summary posted on badfic_quotes this morning:

>>Jesus cheated on his husband, Satan, with Nicolas Cage and is now in labour, about to give birth. Includes: MPREG<<

LOL!

ETA2: I am rather gobsmacked by the comment on officialgaiman about "Green Eggs and Ham" promoting rape culture.  I just... why did someone's mind go there?  I can see the line of thought once it's brought up, but why go there?  It's a story for three year olds.  Like Gaiman said, it's a story created to encourage small children to try new foods, because many are reluctant to do so.

I can guarentee you that your average 3 to 5 year old nursery school book listener is not going to be thinking about rape.

We're "pop" people around here, we even name our drinks with "Pop" in the title .

This, IMO, is what's wrong with the internet. There are many things we should be aware of and take issue with, but Green Eggs and Ham is not one of them. It's kind of headdesk inducing that you can't post about a video of yourself reading Green Eggs and Ham without someone calling you on what "message" you're sending.

Rape culture and Marxism. Sam-I-Am was certainly a busy guy.

Yeah, I guess you could see that if you squint pretty hard. Really, that's true of damned near anything.

Was that a Drive Angry fic?

There's Bible fanfic with celebrities? LOL! (Although I don't know why this surprises me..there is after all teletubby fanfic, which blew my mind when I discovered it on fanfic.com back in 2002...I thought wait, what??)

LOL! Oh I hadn't read gaiman's post...I should have it sounds hilarious.

Green Eggs and Ham" promoting rape culture.

WTF?? Granted it's been a while since I read that, but seriously?
People can read things into anything apparently...and yes, "why would someone's mind go there??" (And I'm not sure I want to know. Most people's won't.)
