Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them! 
asked by paradiselove on November 9, 2006 2:33 PM
Girls, here it is—everything you need to know about boys: 1. Boys come from the Stupid Factory. 2. Boys are pretty much smelly and useless. 3. It is possible to have fun with boys, however..... 4. If you decide to keep a boyfriend, he will need to be housebroken.
With a South Park-for-girls edgy freshness, artist and entrepreneur (David & Goliath clothing) Todd Harris Goldman updates the eternal battle of the sexes. And this time the girls win. Packaged in soft, puffy cover (so if you do keep a boyfriend around the house, he won't hurt himself too much when he tries to figure out what it is by putting it in his mouth), this bright, irreverent book is the perfect girlfriend gift .
No boys were hurt during the making of this book.

This is sick. Misandry is now seen as equal to "comedy", and the guys should just "lighten up". Yeah, right.
This book, along with so much of our popular culture says "Hey, it's OK to hate men and boys...in fact...it's FUNNY!"
The only difference between this book and all the other misandric popular media out there now is that it encourages misandry as early as childhood. "All boys are stupid." This is not the message we need to be sending to our youth.
What if this book were called "Girls Are Ugly. Pull Their Hair" or something equally offensive? It would be banned and the authors sued in a flash. But by using this type of hate speech wrapped up in a "cutesy cartoon book", the authors can get away with bashing males, because it's "accepted" as a form of entertainment.
Think about it. Crushing the self esteem of young boys is supposed to be "light hearted humor".
Sick.

This book is not funny. I was appalled when I saw the title of the book. People don't seem to think twice about bashing males. What if we change "boys" are stupid to Gays, mexicans, girls. How many people would be laughing about that. I don't think many would.

Unfortunately, this book is the sign of what passes for humour these days. Even though it may have been remotely funny (sometimes the author comes close to being bearable), the book never actually tries to be.
Humour is supposed to be smart. However, this book gives us the worst case of dumb.

I was familiar with Todd Goldman's "Boys are Stupid" stuff through the t-shirt line, but this little book goes way beyond. It is so hysterical! I've got it on my coffee table in my office, and everybody who comes in is drawn in by the title, won't stop laughing and just can't put it down!
