New Edition of "Huckleberry Finn" Replaces N-Word With "Navy SEAL"

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: The Patriot's Edition is a new edition of Mark Twain's classic story of boyhood adventure, updated for the 21st century.

Taking into account the evolution of the English language since the original work was first published in 1885, editor E. Wylie has stripped the unsightly "n-word" from Twain's original text – and replaced it with "Navy SEAL."

Readers, newly unencumbered by the weight of white guilt thanks to E. Wylie's edits, will thrill to the exploits of Huckleberry Finn and his friend, Navy SEAL Jim.

"If you're going to read a censored version of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, it might as well be the version about Huck and his Navy SEAL friend Jim." – Gothamist

This is revising history. There are many offensive words and ideas in the world but that doesn't mean it should be changed.

Is this a joke? I agree with Tiffany, history existed a certain way and we shouldn't cower in fear of it by pretending it was any other way.
