Seriously, what the hell is this world coming to?

This is what happens when the Fluffy Reality Patrol (read: fucking retards who think that if we simply don't acknowledge that violence/differences between people/etc. exists in the world and we destroy any record or suggestion of it, it will just go away) rolls into town.

I distinctly recall when I was a kid that the wolf ate grandma and later the wood cutter cut the wolf's belly open to free grandma.

Actually that was on one of those random twisted fairy tale movies. The whole aftermath was being investigated by a giant frog.

I'm pretty sure the original meaning of that fairy tale was referring to sexual predators, so it's definitely been 'prettied' up over time.

This thread is so incredibly stupid. The maker of the book in the OP wrote it that way so as not to offend PARENTS. They are afraid of offending parents, who purchase the books and have had a past record of irrational individuals liberally applying the civil court system to solve problems. They do not write the books that way for the children. Besides, what is wrong with that? Is it destroying your oh so precious American tradition? Are the terrorists going to win? Are you children going to grow up to spineless simply because something in a fairy tale was less violent? Do you show your kids disney movies? Because those are about as dumbed down as you can get.

Oh, and that "politically correct little red riding hood" was not politically correct, it was a joke. Anyone who took it seriously is a dumbass.

Like they hadn't been spinning already? Their stories have already been watered down for generations, THIS IS NOTHING NEW!

Well, as I am a parent and it is not the same version I grew up with, how would changing the story spare me from offense?

Spare us from any further stupidity and tell us exactly how we should think.

You're not the intended audience. But you know full well there are parents out there that are sheltered enough, paranoid enough, and concerned enough to try and shelter their children from the most minute offenses. You are not the motivation for the change, parents that are overcautious are.

The original Brothers Grimm tales were very disturbing. They were sanitized by groups like Disney for mass consumption by conservative families.

Granted, I suppose this isn't such a bad thing....

Erhm.. conservative Christians would have been a more logical answer...

Nah, liberals is the most logical. I've never heard of conservative Christians trying to change standard fairy tales, only PC nutters. The PC crowd would would want lil' red to have two daddies and grandma as a tranny for the sake of "diversity" and hand the book out in kindergarten.

Can't we go one topic without shitting on Liberals or Conservatives.

Can't we all just agree that the people that changed this story are a bunch of twats whose child will grow up in a bubble, only to end up being;
