The Day My Bum Went Psycho, a children's book by Andy Griffiths, was removed from a literacy campaign by Australian education officials, who said that the book, which includes a character called the Great Unwiped Bum, was inappropriate. “It's just a piece of nonsense to entertain children,” the author told reporters. “It's just that bums are attempting to take over the world.”
