This made me chuckle.
Finland has released the DVD of ‘A Little House on the Prairie’ with a certificate of ‘suitable for adults only.’ The costs of having it assessed for the correct age certification are prohibitively expensive.
I doubt very much that the DVD will sell. Any adult buying it hoping for a bit of ‘how’s your father’ will be deeply disappointed.
I loved the books as a child. My mum used to read it to us at the kitchen table before we went to bed. I was ‘Laura’ because I was not such a good girl and my sister was the prissy ‘Mary.’ I was completely mortified when Mary went blind because we identified so much with our characters. My Mum said my sister and I were in floods of tears when she read about Jack the dog dying and so she had to edit frantically as she read.
Then the series came on TV and I loved that too. I knew the books so well that when the TV show started veering away from the stories in the books, I got my first taste of book to film disappointment.

That's hilarious! Truly bizarre!!
Oooh! Maybe it's the Director's Cut??
Well, I guess some people might find the scenes of Pa Ingalls with no shirt on disturbing!
Boggles the mind!!!
There may well be some very disappointed Fins!
That's hilarious!
I LOVED The Little House books! I still have them! I wasn't too keen on the tv show because it so different.
I can just imagine the teenagers all trying to get a pirate copy just to see all the filth... they'll be so disappointed! lol
I loved those books too. I still re-read them sometimes.
Hi all, it tickled me. The idea of it being saucy...
I'm a bit behind on blogreading, as you can see, but had to comment on this one - I loved these books and the show too. I identified with Laura as well. As a bit of a tomboy, I also identified with Laura. :)
18 and over, huh? What did we miss in our edited kids' version?!
