Damn it, you beat me to it. A friend of mine on facebook pointed this out, and I was livid. Granted, I'm not AS livid because apparently this is just going to be one edition, and the original is still going to exist. I still think it's completely asinine that people feel such an edition needs to exist. But as long as they clearly mark this bastardized version as Huck Finn CENSORED or Huck Finn WATERED DOWN or Huck Finn FOR SPINELESS POLITICALLY CORRECT SISSIES, then at least I'll be able to tolerate it.

But you know what? Remember that whole slavery thing? Yeah, I know thinking about it makes me feel kinda uncomfortable. I think we should rewrite the history books so that cotton plantations are forever referred to as fluffy amusement parks for black people. There. I feel much better now.
