Both the Daily Mail and The Guardian appear to have suckered by a website that claims “Children’s books that don’t have happy endings should be banned” and that a mass “bad book” burning is planned for later this month:

If they’d bothered to check who’d registered the domain, they’d have soon spotted that the site is run by a marketing company (ArtScience) who have created a number of web sites for “A Series of Unfortunate Events”. Just in case you were thinking about doing it, don’t bother looking at the ArtScience web site — it’s a painful example of just how bad Flash splash web sites can be!

For what it’s worth the BBC have been suckered too with Ms Small interviewed by Simon Mayo on his show followed by a phone-in debate. But if it leads to a few more people reading Snicket’s meisterwerk then that’s got to be good, hasn’t it?
