Banned Books Week: Where’s Waldo? by Martin Hanford
October 4th, 2007
Where’s Waldo |
#88 on the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000
An amazon.com book reviewer, Mr. Sir, wrote: I have looked into it, and it appears that the reason “Where’s Waldo” got banned was because it features adult material such as “topless sunbathers,” and other adult “hidden pictures.”
This does make me consider what else might be hidden in the complex world of Waldo. I’m wondering if I’ll find pictures of Waldo eating guinea pigs or engaging in cannibalism. What if there are pictures of Waldo flashing the “hail satan” hand sign? Could Waldo be gay? Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it could explain the fury of the book banners. Rumors abound that Waldo was seen in one picture hanging out with Tinky Winky the Teletubby. The horror, the horror!

Although thought an urban legend, this was true.
Because, in the Western world, breasts are for sex, not for nourishing babies.

people get so up in arms over such trivial things.
