Word. It's genuinely distressing.

I think this is a nice idea. I never got into coloring because I used to just do it on Paint [typically pictures of Lara Croft shimmying along the community center across the street to shoot the dogs that scared me] but had I been offered something a bit more satanic as opposed to bees getting along with flowers then I'm sure I would have succumbed.

Apparently the company that produced them got the age wrong, and they were meant to be marketed to over 16s. Since when did the over 16s become a target market for colouring books..:shocked:
