Uncomfortable Literary Plot Summaries

While going through my Google Reader this morning, I went through a chain of links. As this activity often does, one thing led to another, and I found myself at a new-to-me site that was amazing and that also took part in this really amusing literary game in which you summarize book plots in one or two completely misleading (and hilarious) sentences. Here are two sites that I found:

Monkey Muck
Postmodern Barney

My favorites are:

The Bible: An unseen 'deity' forces some people to worship it while casually killing those who don't.

Horton Hears a Who: Tiny world nearly crushed by mentally unstable elephant.

The Harry Potter series: Meddling young magician and his pals prevent others from achieving their dreams and realizing their potential.

Lord of the Rings trilogy: Small, smelly, hairy creatures go to great lengths to destroy stolen jewelry.

Batman: Wealthy man assaults the mentally ill.

Beauty and the Beast: Peasant girl develops Stockholm Syndrome.

Gladiator: Convict murders head of state.

Pride and Prejudice: Woman with gold-digging mother nags wealthy man into marriage.

Does anyone have their own witty, inappropriate Cliff's Notes?

On a side note, isn't it interesting, the "pockets" of people that form on the Internet? How you come across so many people that seem to know everyone else you know, and then sometimes, you come across totally new people, who have never interacted with anyone else you know? Bizarre, but very cool.
