Many of you have no doubt heard about the tongue-in-cheek* new children's book Go the F*ck to Sleep by Adam Mansbach, which is really meant for weary parents. (As a parent of a child who has from nearly the moment she came into the world stayed up later than I did and would scream her head off -- sometimes for hours -- when placed in her crib at bedtime, I can totally relate.)Now, however, you can actually hear the book being read aloud -- by Samuel L. Jackson. [Note: This video clip is NOT safe for listening to in public.]
Now I don't know about all of you but if Samuel L. Jackson told me to go the f*ck to sleep, I sure as hell would.

This has gone around the ether today!
LOVED IT-sent your blog to several friends who hadn't heard of it yet. One in my office fell down laughing! SERIOUSY!!
LoL
My ex and I saw this book when we were in Buffalo a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure whether it was offensive or funnier than hell.
I guess as long as it's not read to a child, it's funny!
And, I agree - if Mr. Jackson told me that, I would definitely go to sleep!
