Oops! Sex Positions Booklet Accidentally Handed Out to Kids

Posted by thenewsjunkie on November 17th, 2008 at 5:31 pm

Some parents in the U.K. were in an uproar recently after their children were accidentally given booklets containing explicit illustrations of sex positions. 

The book “How to Change the World With a Fiver,”  was handed out to 42 fourth-graders during a field-trip to a supermarket. 

Nobody really noticed the blunder until one father decided to take a look at just what was cracking up his daughter and all her friends.

From the Daily Mail:

Engineer Andrew Dodd, 37, whose daughter Laura is eight, said: ‘I was
furious. It was extremely inappropriate and irresponsible to give to
children.

The books featured cartoon drawing and advice on how to have fun and live eco-consciously at the same time. What’s so wrong with that?!

There’s a section
about saving water by ‘bathing with a friend’, reads: ‘Save water. Have
fun. Just get out before everything becomes wrinkled.”

EPIC! Though rly they have to learn someday, and hopefully sometime soon, if they are in the fourth grade. So why do they have these anyway?

You are joking?
Why do Sainsbury’s have these leaflets in the first place, still hilarious though!

Oh, I get it. It’s a paranoid parent blog – sorry; my mistake. I must say that I have trouble believing this.

Actually, we do have grades just like in the US, only we refer to them as “years” and they are different to the US “grades”.

Either way, grades and years just denote a level of learning at school, so it doesn’t matter that much.

ok, so i would have found that shit hella funny in 4th grade. And how old should we be ignorant of sex anyway. They arnt graphic. Maybe that father and not his kids should get out more.

Who cares? If my child saw this, I wouldn’t make an issue out of it at all.

Much more offensive… some 18 year old kid crying for him mommy when his arm gets blown off in Afghanistan. War is what we should be outraged about. Not some cartoon book.

LOL!
I think the manager should’ve checked the contents of those books before handing them out… :-/

Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 am

its the uk. we don’t have a ‘fourth grade’.

What a bunch of prudes. They’re going to learn about it sooner or later. I’d rather it be sooner, with cute non-explicit bathtub illustrations than learn by getting pregnant at 15 or delving too far into the seedy underbelly of the internets.

that last pic confuses me…whats goin on?

I’d be furious too … that I didn’t get a copy for myself first.

The Canadian edition (Change the World for Ten Bucks) doesn’t have any cartoons cavorting naked in the bath. I feel ripped off.

What kind of school takes children to a supermarket for a fieldtrip?
