Line 62:
** ''Lisa'': "Viewing pornography and a breakdown in one's marriage leads to child molesting, among other things--or vice-versa."
** ''Little Bride'': "Muslims are pedophiles, and cultural [[Values Dissonance]] is no excuse."
** The horrifying truth is that these are not Family Unfriendly Aesops by accident, but by choice. [[Jack Chick]] appeared to really believesbelieve these messages. And so do hundreds of thousands of other people. [[Captain Obvious|That is why]] each of these moral lessons is classified as a Family Unfriendly Aesop rather than, say, as any kind of [[Accidental Aesop]], [[Spoof Aesop]], or [[Broken Aesop]]. (This is not to say there were not any of these in the tracts, however; see [[Jack Chick]]'s main page for the details.)
* [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]] once reviewed a PSA comic called ''Future 5'', about a group of college graduate "heroes" who speak out in favor of higher education and battle a villain whose goal is to discourage kids from attending college and become the smartest man in the world by default. Though the comic is well-intentioned, it enraged Linkara to a surprising extent, thanks to several ways in which its message comes off as ignorant or outright insulting:
