Damn, Now I Want Shakespeare In Bits As A Breakfast Cereal (Hamlet Flavor,* Of Course)
SHAKESPEARE IN BITS: HAMLET iPAD EDITION
Rated 9+ for the following:
Infrequent/Mild Cartoon or Fantasy Violence
Infrequent/Mild Profanity or Crude Humor
Infrequent/Mild Horror/Fear Themes
Infrequent/Mild Mature/Suggestive Themes
Maybe I laughed so hard at their categorization of revenge tragedies as "cartoon violence" that I just spit tea all over myself. Maybe. And who knew that suicide and suggested incest were "mild mature themes" suitable for nine year olds†?
(Hamlet and cartoon violence looks like this, actually. Which is a relief because now I don't have to draw those jokes.)
* A surprise crown in every box, except that your mooching uncle empties out the box first, takes the crown and puts the cereal back leaving you with nothing but stale cereal and bitter suspicions day after day, week after week, slowly driving you mad.
† Not that I think nine year olds can't handle Shakespeare, because that's when I first started going to his plays. But. I would say that . . . maybe A Comedy of Errors is more approachable than Hamlet at that age?
