Horror in coloring book(UNBELIEVABLE)

[Star Wars]

Tesco has apologised after a horror-themed colouring book featuring gruesome pictures of blood, knives and screaming victims was marketed at children as young as five.

The book, called Colour Me Good - Arrggghhhh!!, features graphic drawings to colour in taken from famous horror films, including the man with nails in his head from Hellraiser, the woman holding a knife by her face from Misery, and a straitjacketed Anthony Hopkins in The Silence Of The Lambs.

Grandfather Chris Tuckwood came across the 16-page book while he was searching for a birthday present for his seven-year-old grandson, Reece.

The blurb on the back cover says the book contains 'really scary stuff' and 'more blood than you can shake a dagger at'.

Inside, there are line drawings of iconic stills from terrifying 18-rated films aimed at adults, including Fatal Attraction, The Shining, and Carrie and A Clockwork Orange.

Mr Tuckwood, 56, of Derby, who found the book on Tesco's website, said: 'It was advertised as being suitable for kids from five to eight - I don’t think so.

'It is unbelievable that they can sell such a thing aimed at kids. I don’t think I have to say why it’s unsuitable, that much is obvious.

'Who on earth are they employing that thinks this is OK?'

A Tesco spokesman said the product was placed on the company’s website by the book’s publisher.

He said: 'We have very clear guidelines for third-party sellers who list items on our website, and are sorry that on this occasion they weren’t followed.

Whoa....WTF? That is nuts. I can't believe they even let this get to print. I can't imagine it is a big seller but for that to be marketed at 5+ yr olds is seriously twisted.

I'm afraid I'm a bit concerned about the person that thought this was a good idea to market to kids. What the heck were they thinking?

I would think you could make plenty of money marketing this to adults, fans of horror. Why kids?
I would think the bunny would be the most traumatizing of those three, they probably wouldn't get the other two.

Idiots.

Tesa cohens (tesco) creation for young Israeli children, by the time they become adults they will have no fear in mutilating, screwing, butchering the Palestinians.
