And you know, it’s not just Brooke McEldowney

Last week, when a Newsweek interviewer asked him whether parents might be concerned that the film Where the Wild Things Are might be too scary for younger children, Maurice Sendak replied, “I would tell them to go to hell.”
Excuse me?? Parents seeking to take responsibility for what their young children see should go to hell???
I could understand saying parents can be overprotective, that a little Wicked Witch of the West never scarred any child for life, there are valid opinions capable of being expressed in a civil manner… but “I would tell them to go to hell“???
I’m really starting to think, you should pardon the language, that there’s a virulent strain of Asshole Virus going around. Obviously Kanye West was Patient Zero, and it’s already spread to comic strip artists and children’s book writers.
