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!
