Alas, the fantastic comments and article are lost on me, for mine eyes cannot see beyond the “colors” for the real, true COLOURs they are!!!

American spelling be damned, you shall pry my excess vowels from my dead body.

Being something of a metalhead myself I would love a copy of that heavy metal coloring book… for… my kids… yes, for the kids.

I have the official Oliver North Iran Contra Scandal Coloring book. It’s hilarious. I have been saving it F-O-R-E-V-E-R.

I submit Coloring Book Land: Coloring Outside the Lines of Good Taste

I think this one wins for most inappropriate. The cover is pretty innocuous, but the pages inside will offend even the most hardened of people. It’s fantastically horrid.

This is my first time checking out your mental floss pages. I did several quizes and was pretty impressed by the broad span of knowledege required to do well at the different topics. I wish I had just left it at that. I was curious about the coloring books – what today’s editors/publishers consider inappropriate. You’ve done a service for the devil here and it should not be allowed anywhere near kids. Don’t people have minds anymore??

When TCAS (the airborne anticollision system now required internationally in all passenger aircraft) was underdevelopment, we had a coloring book showing the history of the system.

The instant I saw the “Heavy Metal” coloring book, I was instantly reminded of the “coloring book” Strong Bad E-mail from Homestar Runner. It’s the LIMOZEEN coloring book! Leather black! Big hair blonde! And more!

HA! That is too funny! My sister gave my boyfriend the gangsta rap coloring book as a gag gift!

Oh my goodness — the Law & Order coloring book really appeals to me. I googled a little and found it online. The artist did a great job and it’s hysterical. Gotta love Brisco’s one-liner “it stopped ticking when he took a licking”
