Parents, if you think your children should be aware of something but don't feel like explaining, not to worry. You can just shove a coloring book at them instead, because coloring books are the best way for children to learn.

We admit, we were pretty surprised when we heard about Occupy, a 36-page coloring book about the Occupy Wall Street movement. But with a little further investigation, we realize that we shouldn't have been, inappropriate coloring books, from the political to the sexual to the just plain weird, are to be found all over. Some of these, The Gangsta Rap Coloring Book, for instance, are meant to be satirical, but others are woefully, awkwardly serious.

List of incredibly inappropriate coloring books for children and adults.


If you've been feeling a burning desire to get out the crayons and color in scenes of police officers surveying protestors at Zuccotti Park, Guy Fawkes-faced protesters carrying the Golden bull, or, um, Rachel Maddow and Bill O'Reilly, this is the book for you. And by the way you guys, no matter how much you try to push the grown-up coloring book novel angle, no one's fooled. Coloring books are for children. Just like Occupy Wall Street, right guys?


Speaking of really inappropriate coloring books about serious American events (in downtown Manhattan, no less), this year also brought us the 9/11 coloring book We Shall Never Forget 9/11: The Kids' Book of Freedom. With this nifty book, children can color in a scene of a member of SEAL Team Six taking aim at an Islamic woman trying to protect Osama bin Laden, and read passages like this one: Children, the truth is, these terrorist acts were done by freedom-hating radical Islamic Muslim extremists. These crazy people hate the American way of life because we are free and our society is free. We must be prepared to know and understand the truth. America is free. Yikes.
