Book banning alert!
The AP stuns with School May Ban Children's Book With Poop Character:
RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Super Diaper Baby is facing expulsion from the Riverside Unified School District.

After receiving a complaint about alleged disgusting toilet humor and bad grammar in "The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby" children's book, school officials have decided to send the tome to a committee for review.

The seven-member group of teachers, parents and administrators will meet June 4 to discuss Super Diaper Baby's fate.

Riverside grandmother Pam Santi complained about the book, which is written in comic-book style. It depicts an infant super hero who battles a giant villainous piece of excrement.
How elegant and refined!
