I have actually seen this book; it most certainly IS a parody.

If they sold that many books already it makes greedy, yet sound economic sense, to shake the copyright tree at least once.

I can just imagine it. "See Jane schlep. Schlep Jane schlep."
To: Howlin
Some people have no sense of humor.
Now what was all that about adultery and sexual orientation? Just part of growing up?

That's exactly what it does say, plus the additional sentence "Schlep, schlep, schlep."

Interactive excerpt from the book
here.
To: new cruelty; Howlin
"The parody book takes Dick and Jane into adulthood, where they're faced with problems like adultery, ailing parents and sexual orientation."
One wonders if there is an Open Marriage/Euthanasia/Gay agenda behind this parody....if so I can understand the fury of the creators at such a hijacking....any thoughts, Howlin since you've seen it?

Well, it's a miracle I saw it; it was given to my son-in-law as a joke for Christmas; so my little 3 year old granddaughter brings it to me TO READ TO HER.....and the first thing I see is a drawing of Dick and Jane and Daddy going over and finding Grandmother lying on the floor.......LOL.....

Would that mean the movie "Fun with Dick and Jane" is not a parody?

Many thanks for posting this. I saved Matzoh Number Five on one of my old computers, but lost track of it. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the Quicktime Plugin to save it again on my hard drive. It only seems to want to play it.

The parody book takes Dick and Jane into adulthood, where they're faced with problems like adultery, ailing parents and sexual orientation. How thick does the dividing line need to be between parody and exploitation?
Sounds like a parasitic exploitation of recognizeable names for the perverts' agenda to me. More effective propaganda.

No way.. It is a movie from 1976 about an aerospace engineer and his wife. It is very funny. It is a spoof of upper class mores. Dick gets fired and the two of them resort to petty crimes to pay the bills.
