We'll Do It Fuckin' Live! Please

Yeah, that's a lot better.

The cover alone — an image of a little girl with an expression of exuberant begging, her hands clasped almost in prayer — seems ready-made for Stephen Colbert’s show.


Other images in this picture book include one of a little girl, partially dressed, asking for help putting on the rest of her outfit. ... A hungry boy hovers over a plate of chocolate-chip cookies, his tongue hanging out in greedy expectation: “I really, really need a cookie!” says the caption. “Can we take them all?” asks a little girl of a litter of kittens. “Please?” Some of the children have already committed a no-no — a girl who has dipped her finger in a bowl of frosting, a little boy who has broken a dish — and are asking for forgiveness by saying “Please!” after the fact.

I believe the test for parental fitness may be whether you'd buy this book for your child.
