Do you remember the thrill of a new colouring book as a child? Power Rangers, The Little Mermaid, Thomas the Tank Engine... all virginal and unblemished; ready for our rainbow of crayons to bring them to life. What about an anti-terrorism colouring book? Wow-wee-za! Throw an al-Qaeda pic-n-mix in there and all the kids on the yard will be crawling with jealousy.

Yet again, America have leapfrogged over the line of taste and produced a colouring book to introduce kids to ISIS. In it, there's drawings of Osama bin Laden's last moments alive, as well as the faces of "The Talibani 5". Brand highlights the key problem with this idea (aside from it being obviously mental), and that is the fact it's instilling life-long racial prejudices against people onto children.

Like he says, what would be better than this colouring book? Nothing, nothing at all!
