From the ridiculous to the ridiculous

Having scoffed at the Tory Party considering Carol Vorderman "one of the greatest minds in Britain", I am of course setting myself up for criticism - who do I think I am, am I really any better, etc etc. So just to dispel any doubt as to my qualifications for pontificating on other people's academic credentials, I thought I would review the book I read last night.

"Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman" is Dav Pilkey's fifth epic novel in the Captain Underpants series, and continues the previous books' commitment to high drama and epic battles between good and evil. AND it has an Incredibly Graphic Violence Chapter (in Flip-O-Rama). I can do no better than the blurb on the back to show what an epic novel this indeed is:

George and Harold are having a normal kind of week. Yesterday they found out they were going to flunk fourth grade. Today they've created an evil, super-powerful monster. She's mean. She's got a fake-fur Evil Baddie costume (and she's having a really bad hair day). She's armed with .. yes, it's Spray Starch! The only weapon that can stop Captain Underpants in his fight for Truth, Justice and all that is Pre-Shrunk and Cottony!

Take that, Carol!
