Dr. Seuss is a beloved and cherished part of many of our childhoods. But is it just us or were classics like The Cat In The Hat, Fox In Socks, and even Oh, the Places You’ll Go! a little unrealistic?
If you feel like we do, you’ll be glad to know the folks at Funny or Die recently tapped alternative icon and seasoned world traveller Henry Rollins to read the latter tome and inject a dose of reality into the book’s events.
Oh, the places you’ll go? “Or maybe you caught a stray bullet from America’s gun-laden streets and you’re not ambulatory, or maybe you came back from this awful endeavour in Iraq and Afghanistan and you don’t have full use of your body.”
Yeah, let Uncle Henry kick it to you straight and reveal the disturbing misogynistic and ableist underpinnings of this children’s classic. Check it out below or head on over to the official Funny or Die website.
