Book Reviews of Goodnight Bush: A Parody
Book Review: Funny to some readers, and likely infringes
Summary: 4 Stars
The act of placing the word "parody" in a work's title does not make that work a parody. Although I am no lawyer, it's evident to me that Goodnight Bush easily could suffer the same outcome as a similarly mislabeled volume by the name of "The Cat NOT in the Hat! A Parody by Dr. Juice".
For you gentle readers who aren't familiar with the Copyright Act or its provisions in section 107, bona fide parodies -- those whose purpose is to ridicule a similar work -- are provided protection as fair use under the Act. Don't be fooled; Goodnight Bush isn't about Margaret Wise Brown's beloved classic. It's a satire attacking Bush, his administration, and the state of our culture.
If you like reading or collecting this sort of reading material, I suggest purchasing early. Under U.S. copyright rules, it could vanish from the shelves overnight. Because this book is a satire as opposed to a children's classic, don't expect the smooth, unbroken poetry Ms. Brown wrote so capably six decades ago.
Summary of Goodnight Bush: A Parody
A brilliant parody of the children's classic Goodnight Moon, built around the coming end of the worst presidency ever.Goodnight Bush: An Unauthorized Parody is a hilarious and poignant visual requiem for the Bush administration. In it we see a childlike George W. Bush tucked safely away in the confines of his own room with all of the toys he's willfully destroyed, abused, or defaced. Complete with a quiet Dick Cheney whispering "hush," this bedtime story lets us finally say goodnight to the disaster that was the last eight years.
