(Image: Kickstarter)          <\/p>\n<p>            Adult coloring books have certainly risen in popularity            in the past few years, with sales in the U.S. reaching 14            million books in 2016. Psychologists and therapists            even prescribe them to patients as calming tools and            citeadditional benefits like enhancing            focus and concentration, helping with problem solving            and organizational skills.          <\/p>\n<p>            Now, a pair ofKickstarter enthusiasts, want to            make coloring even more fun for you by merging Cards            Against Humanity with the 'boring' crayon to make it...            politically incorrect. The offensive crayons come in            much more interesting colors than regular crayons, such            as Privilege White, Boner Pill Blue, Miscarriage            Maroon, and Travel Ban Brown - all to help you \"bring            life to your pages.\"          <\/p>\n<p>            The way we see it, Offensive Crayons remind us that            political correctness and the way we see the world (and            choose to color it) is entirely subjective. As            neuroscientist Beau Lotto explains - we don't see the world            as it is, we see the world that helps us to live,            because our sensory organs interpret inherently            meaningless\" data in ways that are useful for our            survival. Color is a great example of this.          <\/p>\n<p>            what-happens-in-the-drunk-tank          <\/p>\n<p>            In addition, we don't underestimate the special power            of special colors. Just ask psychologist Adam Atler who            wrote a whole book about one of them  Drunk Tank Pink.            As it turns out Drunk Tank Pink is a special shade of            pink, that a group of psychologists in the 60s            discovered to have calming effects on aggressive            students and also to improve their engagement in class.            Similar effects were observed when this shade of pink            was introduced to a prison and used to paint the cell            that kept the most aggressive prisoners.          <\/p>\n<p>            beau-lotto-do-our-senses-reveal-the-world-or-do-they-obscure-it          <\/p>\n<p>            So, go ahead and express your unique individuality,            with a sense of humor, whether through \"Drunken            racist uncle purple? or \"Ho ho home invasion            red?\" no one else sees the world just            like you.          <\/p>\n<p>            --          <\/p>\n<p>              MOST POPULAR            <\/p>\n<p>                  Top Vets Urge Dog Owners to Stop Buying Pugs and                  Bulldogs                <\/p>\n<p>                  What the World Will Look Like 4C Warmer                <\/p>\n<p>                  How Global Warming and Mind-Eating Parasites Are                  Creating a Global Intelligence Gap                <\/p>\n<p>                  The Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle May Finally                  Be Solved                <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Originally posted here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bigthink.com\/design-for-good\/express-yourself-with-these-very-much-not-politically-correct-crayons\" title=\"Express Yourself With These Politically Incorrect Crayons - Big Think (blog)\">Express Yourself With These Politically Incorrect Crayons - Big Think (blog)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Want The Right Answer Online?
