FEMA Removes 9/11 Coloring Book For Children From Website

FEMA has decided to pull a children's coloring book entitled, "A Scary Thing Happened" from their website. The coloring book contained three images of the twin towers on fire for children to color. Rose Olmsted, the coordinator behind the book said, "I stand firm that it was a very well thought-out and useful resource for kids, but it's obviously being misinterpreted by a lot of people." Since people are so upset about the coloring book, I can only assume FEMA's plan for a human remains concentration game will be put on hold.

    In those coloring book images, you can clearly see that the towers were rigged for demolition! See, I just drew in a team of CIA operatives with a TNT plunger! COVER UP! I call COVER UP!

    This is just the first government agency publication to be pulled. To come:

    FEMA's Katrina Snorkel & Search underwater body hunt field kit
    The SEC's Big Book of Why Daddy Contemplates Suicide guide to financial hardship for kids
    The FDA's Crush&Snort Mortar and Pestle Set

    Look for a complete list to be published by early summer.

      Don't forget the DEA's Crystal Meth EZ-Bake Oven. That one's a classic.

    Obviously the submitter is heavily biased and can't be bothered to think past his or (very unlikely her) own prejudices.

    That final sentence is just "hey look at me, I'm a bigot but listen to me anyway."

    For some reason, this comes to mind.

    This FEMA document was clearly intended as confidential briefing material for President Bush.

    If I ever have kids, the first step will be to teach them that I'm a hypocrite.

    After that, when they ask why not, I can tell them I am an asshole, while emphasizing that they aren't to use such language.

    So that's why they flew air force one over New York City. They were making a live action version of this comic book.
