Nice little spoof here from The Onion, in which Dr. Seuss implores the living to stop making movies out of his books. I thought Horton Hears a Who was quite good, myself. But they nail the live-action Cat in the Hat:

I would have stopped writing, maybe sold Goodyear tires.
If I knew one dark day I'd costar with Mike Myers.
